On Vinted, eBay and Depop they seal tissue or mark a mailer. At typical prices of £5 to £9 a roll, they cost around a penny or two per order. Once your brand settles, switch to custom stickers and keep what's left of the generic roll as a backup. ## Roll core, sticker size and colour Buy a roll with a cardboard core that fits a dispenser or a spare tape holder. Loose sheets slow you down. Aim for 2.5 to 4 cm across. Smaller stickers look lost on tissue; larger ones crease. Match the design to your packaging: kraft-toned stickers suit brown mailers, pastel designs suit tissue. ## Using them at the packing table Wrap the item in tissue, fold the ends and seal with one sticker on the overlap. It holds the wrap and looks neater than tape. Hang the roll on a hook or a spare dowel so it unrolls with one hand. Pair the stickers with acid-free tissue paper (100 sheets) and a plain mailer. ## Custom seals, printed tissue or home-printed sheets Order custom stickers once you have a logo and want your own name on the seal. Order custom printed tissue with matching stickers if you want both in your own branding. You can design and print your own sticker sheets at home as a middle ground, though sheets are slower to apply than a roll. ## Cost per sticker and storage A roll of 500 at £5 to £9 works out at roughly 1p to 2p per sticker. At 30 orders a week, one roll lasts about four months. Keep a spare roll in the drawer so you don't run out mid-batch. Store rolls away from heat: adhesive softens on a warm windowsill. ## Common mistakes - Seal the outer mailer with tape or its own strip and keep stickers inside; a sticker on the outside can let the parcel open. - Loose sheets slow packing, so buy a roll. - A huge sticker creases on small tissue parcels, so stay between 2.5 and 4 cm. - Keep the roll away from radiators and sunny windowsills, where the adhesive spoils. - Keep stickers clear of the postage label, since one stuck over it can block scanning. ## Guides - [Small business packaging ideas that look professional](https://sellersetups.com/guides/look-professional): Thank-you cards, stickers, a QR code and tidy mailers: small touches that make a home-packed parcel look like it came from a real shop. - [How to package clothes for Vinted](https://sellersetups.com/guides/package-clothes-vinted): Fold, wrap and bag a Vinted clothing sale so it arrives clean and uncreased, using a mailing bag sized to the garment rather than a reused box. - [How to promote your Whatnot show](https://sellersetups.com/guides/promote-your-whatnot-show): Get people into your next Whatnot show: short videos, posts between shows, product photos and turning buyers into regulars. ## Questions ### How long does a roll of 500 last? At 30 orders a week with one sticker each, around four months. ### Can I use them to seal mailing bags? Use the bag's own seal or tape for the outer bag. Stickers work best on tissue inside. ### Do buyers notice them? A sealed tissue wrap looks cared for, and some buyers mention presentation in feedback. ### Should I switch to custom stickers? Switch once you have a fixed shop name and regular repeat buyers. ### Are they recyclable? It depends on the paper and adhesive. If your buyers care about recycling, choose paper stickers.
