Short answer: most custom die-cut stickers land somewhere between a few cents and about a dollar each, and the price drops fast as you order more. At Sticker Bunker, 100 custom 3″ die-cut stickers run $86 — that’s $0.86 a sticker. Order 500 of the same sticker and the per-sticker price keeps falling. Order a handful and it costs more each, because the setup is the same whether you print 25 or 2,500.

The two things that decide what a sticker costs
Custom sticker pricing isn’t a mystery. Two factors drive almost all of it:
- Quantity — how many you order. This is the big one. Stickers are a volume product. The more you print in one run, the less each one costs, because the setup, proofing, and material handling get spread across the whole batch. Buying in bulk is genuinely cheaper per sticker — not a little, a lot.
- Size — how big each sticker is. A 2″ sticker uses less material and cutting than a 5″ sticker, so it costs less. Size scales the price up or down; quantity sets the curve.
Everything else — finish, cut style, proofing, shipping — is smaller, but worth understanding so you know what you’re buying.
What actually drives the price (the full breakdown)
Quantity (cost per sticker drops as you scale)
This is where most of the savings live. The first sticker in a run is “expensive” because it carries the setup; every sticker after that is cheaper. That’s why 100 stickers cost more per piece than 500, and 500 cost more per piece than 1,000. If you’re on the fence between two quantities, bumping up the count almost always lowers your cost per sticker.
Size
Bigger stickers = more material and more cutting = higher cost. Most logo and brand stickers live in the 2″–4″ range. Go to 5″+ and you’re paying for noticeably more vinyl. Our anchor price above is for a 3″ sticker, a popular middle-of-the-road size.
Material & finish (gloss vs. matte)
We print on durable, weatherproof vinyl that survives water, sun, and dishwashers. You choose gloss (punchy, vibrant, makes color pop) or matte (clean, modern, no glare). Both are premium stock — finish is about the look you want, not a big swing in price.
Die-cut vs. kiss-cut
- Die-cut stickers are cut all the way through, following the exact outline of your design — the classic “peel one sticker” shape.
- Kiss-cut stickers are cut through the vinyl but not the backing, so the sticker sits on a square or rounded backing sheet (easier to peel, great for packaging).
Both are available. The cut style is mostly about how you want them to look and peel, not a major cost driver.
Free digital proof
Before we print a single sticker, you get a free digital proof — a preview of exactly how your sticker will print, so you can catch sizing, color, or spelling issues before they’re on vinyl. No surprise misprints. This is included, not an upsell.
Shipping
Stickers ship to you. Shipping is calculated on your order — it’s a small, transparent add-on at checkout, not baked into a confusing per-sticker markup.
Example sticker pricing (starting around)
Here’s a realistic picture using our real anchor — $86 for 100 × 3″ die-cut stickers — plus illustrative “starting around” ranges as you scale up and down. These are ballparks to set expectations; your real, exact price comes from the calculator, because it factors in your size, quantity, and finish together.
| Quantity (3″ die-cut) | Roughly per sticker | Order total (starting around) |
|---|---|---|
| 25 | higher per piece | small-run pricing — see calculator |
| 50 | ~$1+ each | starting around $60–$70 |
| 100 | $0.86 each | $86 (real anchor price) |
| 250 | dropping per piece | starting around $150–$190 |
| 500 | lower still | starting around $250–$330 |
| 1,000 | lowest per piece | best per-sticker value — see calculator |
How to read this: the per-sticker number falls as the quantity climbs — that’s the bulk curve in action. Only the $86 / 100 × 3″ row is an exact quoted price; the rest are illustrative ranges to show the trend. Change the size or finish and the numbers move. The only way to get your exact total is the calculator — and it’s instant.

Are custom stickers cheaper in bulk?
Yes — significantly. Stickers are a volume product, so the per-sticker cost falls as your quantity rises. The setup and proofing get spread across the whole run, so 500 stickers cost much less per piece than 100. If you’re deciding between two quantities, the larger one almost always lowers your cost per sticker.
What’s the minimum order for custom stickers?
You can order small runs — you don’t need thousands. Smaller quantities just cost a bit more per sticker because the setup is the same no matter the count. The exact minimum and small-run pricing show up live in the calculator as soon as you pick your size.
Does the price change for gloss vs. matte, or die-cut vs. kiss-cut?
Finish (gloss or matte) and cut style (die-cut or kiss-cut) are mostly about the look and feel you want, not big cost drivers. Both finishes are premium weatherproof vinyl. Quantity and size are what move the price the most.
Do you offer free proofs?
Yes. Every order includes a free digital proof before we print — a preview of exactly how your sticker will come out, so you can approve sizing, color, and text first. No surprise misprints.
