Custom Cartoon Labels & Character Sticker Printing

OnePrint produces custom cartoon labels and character stickers for toy, food, retail and licensed merchandise packaging. From mascot stickers to irregular character die-cuts, artwork is matched across a run with material, finish and cutting options selected around your product. Specifications and quantities are confirmed at quote.

Materials and Finishing Options

Cartoon and mascot artwork benefits from good color depth and a well-matched substrate. Common options include:

• BOPP and paper: BOPP film offers a smooth synthetic surface, while coated art paper takes ink well for sharp cartoon linework. Both are widely used for character stickers and seals.
• Holographic and clear film: Holographic film adds a reflective effect for collectible and merchandise stickers, while clear film gives a no-label look. See our custom foil labels and custom clear labels for related effects.
• Lamination and coating: Gloss or matte lamination and protective coatings can be selected to suit the look and the handling your packaging receives. Options are confirmed at quote.
• Vinyl: Vinyl is a flexible choice for character stickers; details are in our custom vinyl labels range.

Precision Die-Cutting for Character Shapes

Cartoon and mascot designs often have irregular outlines such as ears, tails and fine detail. OnePrint uses mechanical and digital die-cutting to follow a clear vector cut line, producing clean edges as die-cut singles, kiss-cut sheets or roll-fed labels. Cut-line artwork requirements are reviewed before production.

Applications for Toy, Food and Retail Packaging

• Toy and children’s packaging: Outer-box labels, seals and branding decals for games, toy containers and youth products. Ink and material options for these applications are selected and confirmed at quote, and are subject to testing against your specific requirements.
• Bakery and confectionery: Mascot seals and product labels for cookie boxes, jars, takeaway bags and sweets.
• Character merchandise: Die-cut singles and branded decals for retail merchandise and promotions.
• Corporate mascots and events: Character labels for campaigns and gift packaging.

For kraft-style packaging programs, our custom brown kraft labels pair well with cartoon artwork on recycled-look boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you cut labels to the exact irregular shape of my mascot?
Yes. Provide artwork with a clear vector outline or cut path and the label is die-cut along that line.

What options are recommended for children’s product packaging?
Ink and material options for children’s packaging are selected for the application and confirmed at quote. Because requirements vary depending on whether the label sits on an outer box or the product itself, share your application details so recommendations can be matched and tested for your project.

What formats can you deliver?
Rolls, kiss-cut sheets or die-cut singles, chosen to suit your application method.

Can I combine several character designs in one order?
Yes. Multi-design runs are supported; quantities are confirmed at quote.
