Custom stickers are one of the most versatile and cost-effective marketing tools available to any business. They can go on products, packaging, laptops, water bottles, car bumpers, store windows, and just about anywhere else you want your brand to be seen. But where is the best place to get stickers printed, especially if you want quality results without the long wait times and uncertainty of online ordering?
If you are in North Vancouver or anywhere on the North Shore, a local print shop is often the smartest choice. Here is a complete breakdown of your sticker printing options and why a local print shop like Magic Print & Copy delivers the best results.
Online Sticker Printing Companies
Online sticker printers like Sticker Mule, Vistaprint, and others have become popular because of their convenience. You upload your design, choose your options, and wait for delivery. However, online ordering comes with some real downsides:
- Shipping delays. Most online orders take 5 to 14 business days to arrive, and express shipping adds significant cost.
- No proofing in person. You cannot see or feel the sticker before it is printed. Colors on screen often look different from colors on the printed sticker.
- Minimum order quantities. Many online printers require minimum orders of 50, 100, or even 500 stickers, which is not ideal if you just need a small batch.
- No customization support. If you need help adjusting your design, fixing resolution issues, or choosing the right material, you are on your own.
- Returns are complicated. If the stickers arrive and the color is wrong or the cut is off, getting a reprint can take weeks.
Big-Box Office Supply Stores
Stores like Staples offer some sticker and label printing, but their selection is usually limited to basic label formats. For custom shapes, high-quality materials, and short-run orders, they typically cannot match what a dedicated print shop offers.
Local Print Shops: The Best Overall Option
A local print shop like Magic Print & Copy in North Vancouver gives you the best combination of quality, speed, flexibility, and personal service for sticker printing. Here is why:
Speed
When you order stickers from a local print shop, you can often have them ready in 1 to 3 business days, or even same-day for simple jobs. No waiting for shipping. No tracking numbers to check. Just walk in and pick them up.
Quality Control
At Magic Print & Copy, you can see and approve a proof before we print the full run. This means you can check the colors, size, and material in person and make adjustments before committing to the final print. No more guessing what the finished product will look like.
Flexible Quantities
Need just 25 stickers for a special event? No problem. Need 5,000 for a product launch? We can do that too. Unlike online printers with rigid minimum order requirements, we work with whatever quantity makes sense for your project.

How to Prepare Your Sticker Design
To get the best results from your sticker printing, keep these tips in mind:
- Use high-resolution artwork. Your design should be at least 300 DPI to ensure sharp, crisp printing.
- Include bleed area. Extend your design slightly beyond the cut line to avoid white edges.
- Choose your colors carefully. If your brand has specific Pantone or CMYK color values, share them with us for accurate color matching.
- Consider the background. Will your sticker be placed on a dark surface? A light surface? Clear packaging? The background affects which material and finish will work best.
- Do not have a design? No worries. Our graphic design team at Magic Print & Copy can help create or refine your sticker design.
