About Gloss vinyl - Permanent

Our standard white gloss vinyl is the workhorse of the range: a 100 micron white PVC film with a bright, smooth surface that prints sharp, saturated colour and a clean gloss finish. It is fully waterproof, so print will not run or smudge when wet, and the film shrugs off oil, grease, fridges, freezers and everyday knocks. Outdoors it is rated for around five years before the colours start to soften.

This is the material most of our customers choose for product labels, packaging, bottles and jars, logo stickers and general labelling around a workshop or kitchen. If you need to write on a label you can, with a permanent fine-tip marker, which is handy for batch codes and dates.

The adhesive is a permanent solvent-free acrylic. It grips smooth and lightly textured surfaces firmly within 24 hours and is designed to stay put for years. It is not intended for very low-energy plastics such as polypropylene tubs or ABS: for those, look at our high tack vinyl. Labels are supplied on sheets with a gap between each one, so they peel off individually.

Description

Custom boutique labels & stickers, printed on premium paper or durable vinyl

Custom boutique labels printed in the UK for fashion, gifts and handmade goods - full-colour print in any size or shape, on premium self-adhesive paper or waterproof vinyl, from a single label upwards.

Boutique labels are the finishing touch that makes a small brand look properly considered. Add your logo, brand colours and product details in full colour, and we print them in high resolution on your choice of paper or vinyl so the label sits right alongside the thread, fabric and packaging you have already chosen so carefully.

Pick the material that suits the job - an uncoated paper label with a natural, tactile feel for a handmade look, or a self-adhesive vinyl label that wipes clean and holds up to water for products that get handled. A glossy finish lifts your colours, while a matt finish keeps things soft and understated.

There is no need for a big print run to get started. Order a single boutique label or a full wholesale batch, mix designs in one run, and either design online with our label maker or upload your own print-ready artwork. Not sure which material to pick? Order a free sample first.

Paper or vinyl

Choose tactile uncoated paper for a handmade feel, or durable self-adhesive vinyl that wipes clean and shrugs off water.

Full-colour branding

Any size or shape

Rectangle, square, circle, oval or a bespoke die-cut - supply your cutter guide and we cut your labels to match.

Our print guarantee

We print exactly what you approve, matched as closely as we can to your on-screen proof - with a natural tolerance for colour and material differences.

What we guarantee

  • Colour reproduced as closely as possible to your approved proof
  • Sharp, high-quality printing and clean, accurate cutting
  • Any printing, cutting or material fault is on us - we’ll put it right or reprint free

What’s down to you

  • Spelling, wording and layout in your artwork
  • Setting up white ink and clear areas correctly for your design
  • We can’t improve low-quality graphics - upload poor resolution and it will print at poor resolution
  • We print your design exactly as approved, so please check your proof carefully

By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.


Frequently asked questions

What materials can I have my boutique labels printed on?

You can choose uncoated paper for a natural, tactile handmade feel, or a durable self-adhesive vinyl that wipes clean and stands up to water and daily handling. Vinyl comes in a glossy or matt finish, and paper gives a softer, understated look.

Are boutique labels waterproof?

The vinyl labels are. They are printed with eco-solvent inks that are waterproof and offer scratch and UV resistance, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Uncoated paper labels are not waterproof and are best kept for dry applications like swing tags and gift packaging.

Will the labels damage my garments or packaging?

Our boutique labels use a water-based adhesive designed to stick to most surfaces - not too strong, but it stays put for as long as needed. When labelling garments or delicate items we always recommend a quick test first to make sure no damage occurs.

Can I order custom sizes and shapes?

Yes. Enter any width and height for a standard shape, or supply a vector cutter guide for a bespoke die-cut, and we will cut your boutique labels to spec. You can design online or upload your own artwork.

What is the minimum order?

Just one. Order a single boutique label to check the material and print, or a large wholesale batch for an upcoming collection - the more you order, the lower the cost per label.

How quickly will I get my boutique labels?

Once you approve the PDF proof we send you, we aim to print and dispatch within a few working days via DPD. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.

Can I stick these labels on clothing?

They are made for packaging: boxes, bags, tissue, swing tags and product containers. Adhesive labels should not go directly on fabric, where they can mark. For garments, label the tag, tissue or box, or use sewn-in labels.

Which finish should I choose for a premium look?

Satin gold or satin silver vinyl gives a soft metallic sheen that photographs well and prints cleanly in dark colours. Mirror finishes are brighter but indoor only, and foiled paper gives real metal shine for dry uses such as envelope seals and gift labels.

 

Boutique guide

Building a label kit for a small shop or brand

A boutique lives on presentation. The packaging a customer carries out, the box a parcel arrives in and the ticket on the rail are all seen before the product is, and labels are the cheapest way to make every one of them carry the brand. This guide sets out the six labels most independent shops and makers actually use, which material suits each, and how to keep the whole kit looking like one brand.

The six-label kit

  1. Box and mailer seal

    A 40 to 50 mm round or square logo sticker that closes the box and tears on opening. Gloss vinyl on card boxes, or foil on paper for a premium unboxing.

  2. Tissue and bag sticker

    A 30 to 40 mm round in a brand colour or metallic, sealing tissue wrap and paper bags. The single most photographed item in an order.

  3. Price and size ticket

    Removable vinyl, 30 x 20 mm or 40 x 25 mm, on swing tags, boxes and packaging. Peels cleanly at the till or when the sale ends.

  4. Product label

    For your own-brand candles, soaps, jewellery cards and gifts: the ingredients, care and origin text, on vinyl for anything wet and paper for anything dry.

  5. Thank-you and social sticker

    A small label on the compliments card or inside the lid with your handle and a line of thanks. Cheap, and it is where reviews and reposts come from.

  6. Window and display sticker

    Opening hours, "new season" and sale flashes. Removable vinyl or static-cling window stickers that lift off without residue when the promotion ends.

Materials for a boutique

This product page carries the full range of finishes, which is what makes it the right starting point for a kit. Pick one material for the branded items so the shine and colour match across the kit, then add removable vinyl for anything temporary.

Labels for packaging, not for garments

These are self-adhesive labels for boxes, bags, tissue, tags and product packaging. They are not sewn-in or iron-on garment labels and should not be stuck directly to fabric, where the adhesive can mark. For clothing, put the label on the swing tag, the tissue or the box.

Keeping the kit consistent

  • One material, one shine. A satin gold tissue seal next to a mirror gold box seal looks like two brands. Choose one metallic and use it everywhere.
  • Brand colours in CMYK. Take the CMYK values from your brand guidelines rather than letting each file convert differently; the same teal on three labels should be the same teal. Metallic films tint any colour printed on them, so on those use mono or ask for a white under-base.
  • Same corner radius. If the box seal is a circle, make the ticket a rounded rectangle with a generous radius, not a sharp one. Small details like this read as considered.
  • Whitespace. The strongest boutique labels are a logo, one line and a lot of space. Resist filling a 40 mm sticker.
  • Order the kit together. Designs at the same size and material share one order and one price break, so the whole kit is cheaper as a set than as six separate orders.
  • Box seal40 to 50 mm round
  • Tissue seal30 to 40 mm round
  • Price ticketRemovable, 30 x 20 mm
  • Bag stickerLogo, 40 mm
The four labels a customer sees in one purchase. Dotted outlines mark the label; the same logo and finish on all four is what makes the kit read as a brand.

Seasons, sales and changeovers

Boutique stock turns over by season, and so do the labels on fixtures, windows and tickets. Order the permanent items, seals and product labels, in larger quantities on gloss vinyl or paper, and the temporary items on removable vinyl so a sale sticker or a "new in" flash lifts off the fixture cleanly when it is over. For a sale that has to be seen from the pavement, fluorescent labels do the shouting so the branded labels do not have to.
