A Proper Breakdown of Standard Sticker Sizes

circle sticker size

Circles

1" x 1" and 2" x 2" Small Circle

The former, 1" x 1", is about the size of an American quarter, whereas the latter, 2" x 2", is about the size of an Oreo cookie. With that frame of reference in mind, you can probably see why these two are the most popular sizes chosen for small or smaller circle stickers. Circle stickers of these sizes are small enough to be placed on a variety of surfaces, such as packaging, documents, or equipment, without taking up too much space. At the same time, the circular shape allows for more design flexibility than a square or rectangular sticker, as it can be incorporated into logos, images, or text in various ways. Their size also leads to them being the more affordable option for some. For a quick design idea, you may want to consider using 1" x 1" or 2" x 2" circle stickers as a "brand-approved" identifier.

3" x 3" and 5" x 5" Big Circle

Compared to the smaller-sized circle stickers detailed above, circle stickers size 3" x 3" and 5" x 5" excel at attracting a greater level of attention to your products. They also provide more space for information and branding, and can naturally be used for decorative purposes in a much greater and more noticeable range. Though relatively more expensive, these big-size circle stickers stand out that much more, helping build brand recognition in the process.

oval sticker size

Ovals

1" x 2" Oval

A 1" x 2" oval sticker offers a unique shape that can be useful for certain designs. Given the design flexibility of its shape, you can use its elongation to include more information than on a circle-shaped sticker. These features combined with the manageable size translate to effective and economical branding that is distinctive.

kiss cut sticker size
die cut sticker size

Kiss Cut or Die Cut?

For die cut stickers, the sticker and backing are the exact same shape and dimensions, leaving no extra material used up in the process. On the other hand, kiss cut stickers have some extra space in the background in the form of blank space that allows you to more easily peel off your stickers. In this way, the stickers are "kissing" the surrounding material. Kiss cut stickers are sometimes prefered, especially if the design of the sticker makes it more delicate when peeling off your sticker sheet. If you want to learn more, we actually have an entire blog article dedicated to answering this question in far more detail than you'll find anywhere else on the web.

specialty sticker size

Adding Glitz and Glamor (Specialties)

Assuming you don't have unlimited money at your disposal or that you haven't discovered new hitherto unknown printing practices, there are some suggested uses for various types of specialties when you get into the big leagues of sizing. Chances are, you won't run into many limitations for most of your orders, but we do want to ensure you keep these factors in mind as you plan exactly how you'd like your stickers to show pizzazz. Specialties include soft touch laminate, velvet lamination, spot UV coating, white ink, letterpressing, embossing, debossing, foil stamping (using our foil color chart), digital foil (limited colors) and die cutting.

Keep in mind any limitations you may run into if you're opting to print bumper stickers and anything bigger than those, as you won't have quite the same amount of options. That said, we are always happy to work with our customers to explore what they're after and help you find a solution that is both practical and affordable. Simply reach out to us with a request for a custom quote and we'll be sure to ease all your sticker printing woes right away!
