6 Creative Ways to Use Stickers to Boost Your Brand



In 2024, stickers are emerging as a dynamic marketing tool. While not a new invention, their popularity is soaring, especially among younger generations.

The global die-cut stickers market was valued at $151.8 million in 2023 and is projected to reach $191.1 million by 2030. This growing trend presents a unique opportunity for brands to enhance their print marketing strategies.

Get Noticed with Stickers

Stickers are perceived as minimalistic, eco-friendly, elegant, and empowering. Here are six innovative ways to incorporate stickers into your next print marketing campaign.

1. Personalized Packaging

Using stickers as packaging tape to seal customer packages serves a dual purpose. Not only does it secure the package, but it also reinforces your brand identity, which fosters customer loyalty and enhances brand recognition.

Show appreciation to your customers by including a complimentary sticker with every purchase. This gesture delights customers, builds brand loyalty, and serves as organic advertising once the sticker finds a new home.

2. Event Swag

Stickers make for easy and attractive giveaways for your next event—be it a seminar, conference, trade show, board meeting, retreat, product launch, or networking event.

Stickers can drive foot traffic to your booth and serve as memorable handouts as you network with potential clients. Handing out stickers at events can significantly boost brand visibility and generate interest in your company.

3. Brand Stationery

Modernize your business stationery with stickers. Add them to letterheads, envelopes, and notecards. These practical tools can feature your business logo or a QR code for easy online engagement, enhancing brand recognition with a fun twist.

4. Vehicle Branding

The traditional bumper sticker, originating in the 1940s in Missouri, remains a powerful advertising tool. 

Sell or give away bumper stickers to increase brand visibility economically. Enhance them with QR codes, company quotes, mantras, or special promotions to make them more engaging and informative.

5. Holiday Gift Tags

This holiday season, combine marketing and gifting with dual-purpose stickers. Use them on packaging or gifts to express gratitude and promote your business.

Stickers can help address packages while displaying your company logo and a QR code to your website. Wish your customers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with a thoughtfully designed sticker graphic and your company’s logo.

6. Always On-Trend

Stickers are a lasting marketing method. Incorporate them into your strategy to increase customer appreciation. Give away stickers at events or include them with purchases as a token of thanks. They can serve as both functional packaging elements and holiday gift tags.

Collaborate with our printing professionals today to create unforgettable marketing stickers that are economical, useful, and brilliant.

Make a Statement with Flyers: 5 Things You Might Not Know About Effective Design

  Flyers have been around for decades, but they’re anything but old news. In fact, when done well, they can be one of the most cost-effective and attention-grabbing tools in your marketing mix. The trick? Knowing what most people miss. Here are five flyer design strategies that often go overlooked—and how you can use them to your advantage. 1. Headlines Don’t Have to Explain—They Have to Stop People Your headline isn’t a label. It’s a hook. A lot of flyers start with something safe: “Annual Clearance Sale” or “Join Us for Our Spring Open House.” That’s fine—but it’s also forgettable. If you want someone to actually read your flyer, the headline has to stop them in their tracks. Some options to consider: Ask a question: “Tired of Overpaying for Car Repairs?” Use urgency: “This Weekend Only. No Extensions.” Go bold: “You Bring the Crowd. We’ll Bring the Fireworks.” You can always explain more in the subhead. But the headline’s job is to earn that second glance. 2. White Spa...

Showcase Your Brand with Unique Printing Techniques That Reflect Your Style

  Your print materials don’t just share information—they express who you are. Whether you’re designing brochures, business cards, or product packaging, the finishing choices you make can help your brand stand out in ways that are memorable, tactile, and entirely you. But not every technique fits every brand. What feels premium to one customer might feel over-the-top to another. Here’s how to think about pairing your brand’s personality with unique printing techniques that leave a lasting impression. The Bold and Energetic Brand You’re not trying to blend in—you want to get noticed. For brands with a high-energy identity—think entertainment, retail, hospitality, events—the goal is to attract attention fast. That doesn’t mean going over the top. It means choosing finishes that emphasize movement, light, or contrast. Examples to consider: Spot UV that highlights just one element (like a logo or product image) against a matte background Neon inks for a punch of color that sta...

Patriotic Designs for Memorial Day: H.O.N.O.R. in Print

Memorial Day is a time for reflection—a chance to express gratitude, remember those who served, and unite communities around a shared sense of purpose. While print can’t encapsulate the weight of sacrifice, it plays a quiet and important role in how we honor it. Here’s how thoughtful design helped this year’s Memorial Day messages resonate, using a format that reflects the heart of the holiday itself. H — Hold Space for Stillness Not every flyer needs to be loud to be effective. In fact, the best Memorial Day designs created room for the message to breathe. Whether it was ample white space or a single symbolic image—a folded flag, a solitary silhouette, a poppy in bloom—this restraint helped invite reflection. Design takeaway: When designing for remembrance, let stillness speak. Skip the clutter. Choose fewer elements with more weight. O — Opt for Meaningful Color Red, white, and blue are foundational to patriotic design—but not every campaign needs to use them at full saturat...
