Description
Custom block-out correction labels & stickers, printed on opaque white vinyl
Fully opaque block-out labels printed in the UK on 100-micron white vinyl with a light-stop backing, supplied on easy-peel sheets with a glossy finish and hi-tack permanent adhesive - any custom size, from a single label upwards.
Block-out correction labels are made to hide what’s underneath. The solid white vinyl and light-stop adhesive stop anything showing through, so old text, printing errors, out-of-date prices or previous labelling disappear cleanly under a fresh, glossy surface you can reprint on.
Because these are printed on waterproof vinyl rather than paper, they wipe clean and cope with damp, oil and daily handling indoors or out. The eco-solvent inks are waterproof in their own right and give useful scratch and UV resistance, so covered labels stay covered.
The hi-tack permanent adhesive grips paper, card, glossy brochures and awkward low-energy packaging like polythene. Order any custom size on sheets, from a single correction label to several thousand, and either design online or upload your own print-ready artwork.

- We print your design exactly as approved, so please check your proof carefully
By approving your proof you accept the following. Colour is reproduced as accurately as possible but cannot be guaranteed to match your screen, a printed sample or a previous order exactly. Differences between rich (full-colour) black and single black, colours sitting near the edge of the CMYK gamut, fine tints and slight variation between materials, finishes and print batches are a normal part of the printing process and may not be visible on your on-screen proof. These are considered within standard commercial print tolerance and are not classed as a fault. Where any question of print quality arises, StickyThings is the final arbiter of whether a job has printed correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Will block-out labels really hide what’s underneath?
Yes. They’re made from solid white vinyl with an opaque light-stop adhesive backing, so old text, colour, print errors and previous labelling are fully covered and won’t show through, even over dark or busy artwork.
What surfaces will they stick to?
The hi-tack permanent adhesive is designed to grip paper, card, glossy brochures and stationery, as well as harder low-energy surfaces like polythene packaging. It gives a strong, long-term bond, so it isn’t intended to peel away cleanly afterwards.
Are they waterproof and suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. They’re printed on waterproof vinyl with eco-solvent inks that offer scratch and UV resistance, with around three years of external weathering, so they suit both indoor and outdoor jobs.
Can I have them made to a custom size?
You can. Enter any width and height and we’ll cut your block-out labels to match, supplied on easy-peel sheets. The minimum order is just one label.
Can I print my own text or design on top?
Yes. The glossy top coat is made to be overprinted, so you can add corrected text, updated prices or fresh artwork - design online or upload your own print-ready file.
How quickly will I get my labels?
