On Poshmark, eBay and Depop they seal tissue or mark a mailer. At typical prices of $6 to $10 a roll, they cost a cent 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 color Buy a roll with a cardboard core that fits a dispenser or a spare tape holder. Loose sheets slow you down. Aim for 1 to 1.5 inches 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 $6 to $10 works out at roughly 1 to 2 cents 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 package open. - Loose sheets slow packing, so buy a roll. - A huge sticker creases on small tissue bundles, so stay between 1 and 1.5 inches. - Keep the roll away from heaters and sunny windowsills, where the adhesive spoils. - Keep stickers clear of the shipping label, since one stuck over it can block scanning. ## Guides - [How to promote your Whatnot show](https://sellersetups.com/us/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 poly mailers? Use the mailer'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 their reviews. ### 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.
