Question 1

What is Backprinting?

Accepted Answer

Backprinting refers to printing on the adhesive side of your sticker—or directly on the liner (the backing paper). This lets you add messaging, branding, or functional content that’s visible before application.

Question 2

Which products support backprinting?

Accepted Answer

Backprinting is currently available on White BOPP stickers sized 2" x 2" or larger, finished as individual stickers or on sticker sheets.

Backprinting is not available on rolled stickers (kiss cut) or other materials at this time.

Question 3

Can I add different artwork to the back of my sticker?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your back design can be completely different from the front. For best results, include both designs in a single file.

Question 4

Can the backprinted liner be written on?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Permanent markers like Sharpies work best. Ballpoint pens may smudge, and highlighters tend to smear, so we recommend testing before use.

Question 5

Can I request a peel aid?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and we recommend it! Without a peel aid (like a carrier sheet or tab), stickers can be tricky to peel. If you need help deciding what peel aid is best, just ask—we’re happy to walk you through the options. Here’s why peel aids aren’t included.

Question 6

How is Backprinting orientation handled?

Accepted Answer

Backprinting is oriented to align with the front design for clear, readable presentation. You do not need to adjust or rotate your artwork.

Question 7

Are Backprinted Stickers water resistant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Backprinted Stickers are water resistant and perform the same as standard stickers made from the same material. Backprinting is applied only to the liner and does not affect durability. Stickers resist UV, oil, and scratches, and hold up well to rain, snow, and brief water exposure, but are not designed for long term submersion.

Question 8

Does backprinting affect the durability or finish of my sticker?

Accepted Answer

No. Backprinting is applied only to the liner and does not affect the sticker’s adhesion, durability, or finish.
