OnlineLabels, a prominent manufacturer and retailer of custom and blank labels, has expanded its custom sticker line by reducing order minimums to just 50 pieces, lowering prices by an average of 19%, and transitioning the product to laminated premium vinyl that is rated for two years of outdoor use. The company notes that standard orders typically ship within two to three business days from its Sanford, Florida, production facility.
OnlineLabels' updated offering is made possible by recent equipment investments that enable the company to produce shorter runs more efficiently. This, in turn, reduces the upfront cost and inventory burden traditionally associated with custom print orders, with 52-inch circle stickers now starting at $35. The stickers feature a waterproof adhesive and a protective gloss or matte laminate that resists rain, sunlight, moisture, scratching, and general wear.
