What is a holographic sticker?
Holographic stickers are vinyl stickers that have a rainbow-like, holographic effect. They belong to the so-called effect stickers.

What is a holographic sticker called?
When you’re looking for holographic stickers, you’ll come across a whole range of terms: iridescent stickers, holograms, holographic stickers, and metallic stickers.
Yet all of them refer to the same thing: stickers with an eye-catching rainbow effect. This effect becomes most visible when your stickers catch the light. You can see different examples of them below.

How are holographic stickers made?
Holographic stickers are made from scratch as you order them. They are printed, laminated, and cut within four business days.
We use the latest digital printing technology to create stunning colors on the printed rainbow material and can create any shape you can think of: from traditional shapes like square and round to custom shapes like die cuts and kiss cuts.

Are holographic stickers waterproof?
Yes, they are. Our holographic stickers are printed onto waterproof vinyl and laminated to resist water, scratches, oil, and fading from sunlight.
That means you can use these shiny stickers to brand products that will be used outdoors or in the shower without having to worry about durability.
Holographic stickers can be used in these conditions for up to one year without losing their sparkle.
How much do holographic stickers cost?
The cost will vary depending on the size you choose for your stickers. The number of colors you want to include, the shape, and the number of designs you want to print do not affect the price. We calculate pricing based on the material used.
Let’s look at an example. Here is a breakdown of pricing for 2x2 inch holographic stickers:
- 25 = $44
- 50 = $46
- 100 = $64
- 500 = $157
- 1000 = $263

How to use holographic stickers
Holographic stickers can be used to elevate your brand’s image, add visual interest to your logo sticker, engage your community, or simply have fun.
One of our favorite ways to use them is as part of premium, eye-catching product packaging. Their thickness and metallic shine can instantly upgrade the look of any box or container — without breaking the bank.
Just take a look at the picture below. A simple cardboard box suddenly becomes a total attention-grabber. All thanks to one holographic sticker.
Can I have holographic sticker sheets?
Absolutely. Our custom labels are available in different materials, including holographic vinyl.
You can browse our custom labels or take a look at our sticker sheets.
We recommend using sticker sheets instead of individually cut stickers if you’re applying them in-house. The extra border around each sticker makes them faster to peel, which can save you valuable time.
