Description
Custom barcode labels & stickers, printed on waterproof vinyl
Custom barcode labels printed in the UK on durable waterproof vinyl, with crisp, scannable codes for retail, stock and warehouse use. Supply your own barcodes or sequential numbers, any size on sheets, from a single label upwards.
Our printed barcode labels are made to be read first time, every time. We print your codes in sharp, high-contrast full colour on self-adhesive vinyl, then test that they scan reliably - so your EPOS tills, stock scanners and warehouse readers pick them up cleanly rather than throwing errors at the checkout.
Upload your own barcode artwork or send us a data file for sequential numbers, product codes or asset tags, and we’ll set it out across the sheet for you. Choose a clear or white base, a matt or gloss finish, and a permanent or removable adhesive to match the job.
Because the material is genuinely waterproof and scratch resistant, these labels hold up on cold stores, shipping cartons and equipment without smudging or peeling. There’s no minimum order - order a single test label or several thousand, and design online or upload print-ready artwork.

- Sharp, high-quality printing and clean, accurate cutting

What’s down to you
- Spelling, wording and layout in your artwork
- Setting up white ink and clear areas correctly for your design
- We can’t improve low-quality graphics - upload poor resolution and it will print at poor resolution
- 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 the barcodes actually scan?
Yes. We print your codes in sharp, high-contrast full colour and check the quiet zones and contrast so they read reliably on retail tills, handheld scanners and warehouse readers. If you’re printing a numbered range, send us the data and we’ll set it out correctly across the sheet.
Can I supply my own barcodes or numbers?
Absolutely. Upload finished barcode artwork, or send us a data file of the numbers or codes you need and we’ll generate and lay them out for you. This is ideal for sequential numbering, batch codes, product SKUs and asset tags.
Are barcode labels waterproof?
They are. We print on a waterproof, scratch and water resistant vinyl in either a clear or white base, so codes stay crisp on cartons, packaging, cold stores and equipment without smudging or peeling.
What size and finish can I have?
Any size you need, supplied on easy-peel sheets. Choose a matt or gloss finish and a clear or white material - a white base gives the strongest contrast for scanning, while clear suits labels going onto transparent containers.
What is the minimum order?
Just one. Our lowest order is a single label, so you can order a test print or a full run of several thousand. If you’re unsure which material suits your scanners, order a free sample first to check the finish and adhesive.
How quickly will I get my labels?
Once you approve the PDF proof we send you, we get straight to print. For our current production and delivery times, please see our turnaround and delivery page.
