Enhance your swag with custom stickers

Why Stickers

They Make a Statement
Adding a piece of vinyl to a laptop or water bottle is more than decoration – it’s a statement. Whether it’s social causes, a national park, or a memento from a concert, a placed sticker represents a part of someone’s identity.

They’re Fun
When a sticker shows up in a package, it’s like a shiny little surprise, ready to find a home. Stickers are an active item, where the end user has the freedom to stick it wherever they want.

They Stick Around
Think about where stickers are placed – laptops, water bottles, journals, all things that last a long time. Once a sticker gets placed, it’s there, and it can serve as a conversation starter or mini-billboard for months or even years.

They Finish the Experience
By placing a sticker on or in packaging, you can elevate the unboxing experience for your people. For retail brands, the sticker may be the first part of your brand a customer sees, better make a good impression.

What is your sticker for?
What’s the goal of your sticker? Is it part of your packaging? Will it live on your own swag or for the user to choose? We love helping you dig through the why behind your sticker to better guide what the best choices are for your project. Here are some examples to help. Your account manager is here to guide you as well.

General Use (Promotional)               
Traditional stickers serve a variety of purposes: promotional/marketing, product announcements, and as a home for logos and slogans. Customize sweet stickers with your brand and let your message travel.

Packaging (retail)                           
Add some flair to your retail packaging – whether you’re a restaurant, a clothing store, or a brewery/dispensary, a custom sticker will bring your packages or products to life.

Heavy Use/Durable                       
Commonly designed for outdoor use for maintenance, safety, and warning labels, heavy duty stickers are meant to be a component of the actual product being sold.

Choose your adhesive

Removable
For traditional indoor, non-permanent stickers, a soft adhesive is used for wood, plastic, glass, and metal without the issue of residue. This adhesive is slightly stretchable and will not distort the graphic when being removed.

Permanent
For permanent stickers, a biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) adhesive is used, which hardens over time, giving stickers the best adhesion the longer they’re set. BOPP is water-resistant so it’s also used on consumable products that require refrigeration.

Shape
For your next project, choose from stock or die-cut options. Whether you’re seeking standard box or round shapes, or looking to create more complex designs, the sky is the limit with Kotis.

IN THE WILD
Where stickers like to live
It’s not just techies or college kids who love a good sticker. Construction workers sticker their hard hats. Musicians sticker their instrument cases. Breweries sticker their beer fridges. If there’s a flat surface and quality stickers, a lot of us are overcome with urge to decorate it.

Kitting examples with stickers

CASE STORY
Stickers for a Cause: Black Lives Matter
To support the BLM movement, our Design Manager Trish created a graphic with “Black Lives Matter” text forming the solidarity fist. Once the design was complete, she felt compelled to take action and get it out in the world. But how could this design make a difference? How could it help our communities and spread the word? Stickers!

She first spread the word on social media and then to a broader audience on Etsy. So far, she’s sent over 1200 stickers to 48 states and 14 countries which has raised $3500 to support the cause.

“It’s been a true joy to see these take flight.” – Trish
