Sticker and bottle label printing in Kenya
Sticker and label printing in Kenya should start with the surface the label will touch. Packaging, bottles, promotional handouts and indoor displays can need different materials or adhesives. Tell the printer about the surface, dimensions, intended use and exposure to moisture before choosing a stock.
All-Pod lists rectangular stickers and bottle labels. Their current product options describe the available production specification. A product name or photograph alone does not establish that a label suits every wet, refrigerated or outdoor environment.
Describe the application
Include the container or surface material, its shape and whether it is flat or curved. For a bottle, measure the actual usable panel rather than assuming a standard label fits. Note whether labels will be applied by hand, and whether the surface will be dry and clean at application.
Explain any refrigeration, condensation, sunlight or handling the finished item may encounter. Ask the team to confirm the selected stock and adhesive for that use. If durability matters, discuss a sample or test on the intended surface before committing to a large run.
Make the artwork readable
Keep the brand name, product description and important information readable at the finished size. Check small text on a printed sample rather than zooming in on a monitor. Test QR codes and barcodes at the actual size and intended viewing conditions.
Supply accurate content and check versions before approving the file. The buyer is responsible for the required product information. Ask for separate review where specialist labelling rules apply; a printing quote does not establish regulatory compliance.
Confirm cutting and finishing
| Detail | What to ask |
|---|---|
| Size | Finished width and height of the label |
| Shape | Rectangular trim or a reviewed custom shape |
| Stock | Suitability for the surface and environment |
| Finish | Any available lamination or other treatment |
| Supply format | How the labels will be supplied and applied |
| Quantity | Total labels and number of distinct designs |
Do not assume special cutting or a roll format is included in a standard sheet-based quote. Tell the team how you plan to apply the labels and request confirmation of the supplied format. Separate artwork versions clearly if the order contains several flavours, sizes or products.
Compare the full quote
Use the same finished size, material, quantity and number of designs when comparing prices. The current price is based on the configured production specification. Follow the file preparation requirements and PDF guide before uploading artwork.
For a mixed packaging order, include hang tags or swing tags in your brief, with any holes, strings and attachment needs listed separately.
Match the label to the packaging
For a box seal, check the surface, flap position and how the package opens. For a bottle label, measure the actual usable panel and describe the container material and curvature. Refrigeration, condensation and repeated handling are separate requirements to discuss with the team. A product name or glossy appearance alone does not establish adhesive performance.
Prepare an actual-size paper mock-up and place it on the empty container to check text, barcode or QR readability and the label position. The production team should confirm material and adhesive suitability; a paper mock-up only helps you check the dimensions and layout. Do not assume that every catalogue sticker is waterproof or intended for food contact.
Current rectangular sticker price examples
The 85 × 55 mm sticker product provides a fixed-format starting point. These examples use its current default eligible stock and stated specification, before applicable VAT and delivery. Confirm a different material, shape or cutting requirement separately.
KSh 337.50 for 100 Stickers 85x55mm. Tic-Tac, one-sided, one distinct page, unlaminated, no additional finishing. Before applicable VAT and delivery.
KSh 1,335.00 for 500 Stickers 85x55mm. Tic-Tac, one-sided, one distinct page, unlaminated, no additional finishing. Before applicable VAT and delivery.
For example, a packaging run with three flavours needs artwork and quantities for all three versions. State whether each flavour has the same label dimensions and material. A single total without the design breakdown can leave the production brief incomplete.
Order stickers with the assistant to identify the listed product, compare the available stock and prepare a saved quote. For a special shape or exposure requirement, ask for production review before paying.
FAQ
Are all printed stickers waterproof?
No. Suitability depends on the selected material, adhesive, surface and exposure. Describe the intended use and ask the team to confirm the actual stock before ordering.
Can I use a label on a refrigerated bottle?
Tell the team about the bottle material, curvature, condensation and application conditions. Confirm the material and adhesive for that environment and discuss a sample where necessary.
How much does sticker printing cost?
The price depends on the finished size, stock, quantity and finishing. Use the product's current quotation or request a reviewed quote for a special application or cut shape.
