Perfect for kids and kids at heart, we are eager to share this new product with you. [Holographic stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/holographic-stickers) are now available. 

All sticker material is specially developed in-house and holographic vinyl posed an exciting challenge. This material needed to be as sturdy as our original stickers but with an added iridescent shine. After over a year in development, we have it perfected to a place where we can share it.

Holographic material turns ordinary objects into animations. It engages people and grabs attention like crazy.

Try it today: [upload a plain color design](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/how-to-design-holographic-stickers) and our team will make it holographic. You can approve the effect during proofing to make sure your stickers are totally awesome.

Hot sauce that kicks ass

It’s real. It tastes amazing. It’s Mule Sauce.

<WistiaVideo videoKey="mule_sauce" />

You may be asking yourself why your favorite printing company just launched your new favorite condiment. Two reasons.

First, we love hot sauce but always struggled to find that perfect, use-on-anything brand. Something with a perfect balance of heat, flavor and consistency. So we made it.

![Mule Sauce hot sauce](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/73bb442a40211daa09cc172a0730419ec72a3e89)

Reason two comes with a story. Last summer, we hosted a local “Free Burger Day” and planned to cook 10,000 free burgers for our hometown of Amsterdam, NY. We knew free burgers would attract a crowd, but we wanted to impress people with an amazing, memorable sauce. We obsessed over the recipe, until eventually, we came up with something that was worthy to be called Mule Sauce.

We never imagined releasing it to the public. But, since then, it's been in high demand, so we pushed forward and made Mule Sauce available for everyone.

![Mule Sauce being added to food](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/650c3a64f5fac6eecde07c26129f60ff903a051f)

Mule Sauce uses high grade chilis, packs a good amount of heat and tastes so good, it goes on everything. Even our most demanding taste testers, the team at Sticker Mule Italy, found themselves addicted.

<ButtonCta text="Get your bottle of Mule Sauce for $8 + free shipping!" href="https://www.stickermule.com/mule-sauce" />

It’s real. It tastes amazing. It’s Mule Sauce.

Introducing packaging tape 

Sticker Mule’s [custom packaging tape](https://www.stickermule.com/products/packaging-tape) is made with strong, durable paper that is reinforced with fiberglass strands. Popular, high volume retailers use this type of tape to improve their productivity and quickly and securely ship hundreds or even thousands of packages a day.

We use a water-activated adhesive, which allows our tape to quickly create a strong bond to your package once applied. A single strip creates a strong bond once applied to your box, helping you keep your package secure. It’s the best way to brand your boxes while improving productivity. 

<WistiaVideo videoId="r8k888ds0d" />

For just a few pennies a box, our [full color printed gummed packaging tape](https://www.stickermule.com/products/packaging-tape) helps you brand your boxes in a single pass. If you care about presentation and a branded shipping experience, Sticker Mule’s packaging tape is what you should be using.

Our packaging tape is sold in rolls. Each roll is 300 feet long x 3 inches wide  or 91m x 7,14cm.

We include a free sponge with every order to help you get started using your packaging tape. If you only ship a handful of packages per day a sponge is an effective, inexpensive way to apply your tape. 

[![Custom Branded Tape](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/61514a63a751d4314fd0c9d783d7ef7eb214d1c8)](https://www.stickermule.com/products/packaging-tape)

As your shipments grow or if you already ship at a high volume, you may want a faster option. Packaging tape dispensers make the process easy and extremely fast. [We reviewed four different packaging tape dispensers](https://www.stickermule.com/support/what-tape-machine-or-dispenser-do-you-recommend) to help you decide what type is best for you.

DIY front adhesive stickers

Are you familiar with [front adhesive stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/front-adhesive-stickers)? Front adhesive stickers are just like our [clear stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/products/clear-stickers) except the sticky side is on the front of the design, not the back. They are made to apply the design-side to the inside of a window. 

![Custom front adhesive stickers](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/bba2b92679baaf8980894781314b0528e9092da5)

Let’s learn more about custom front adhesive window stickers and how you can make your own without breaking a sweat!

## What are front adhesive stickers? 

Front adhesive stickers are printed on [clear material](https://www.stickermule.com/products/clear-stickers) and have an adhesive on the front, printed side of the sticker. These stickers are particularly helpful for certain uses including business storefronts that want to display their memberships, information or causes they support. 

They are also called the “[Inside Window Stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/uses/window-stickers)” since they are stuck on the inside of windows.

When we launched these stickers, we originally called them window stickers. We changed the name because "front adhesive sticker" is more intuitive and because other sticker types are also considered [window stickers](https://www.stickermule.com/uses/window-stickers).

## Where can you use front adhesive stickers?

There are many uses of front adhesive stickers for both businesses and personal uses.

__Businesses:__

- Storefront displays that you occasionally have to change (since it’s so easy to stick on and peel off!) 
- Announcement for your business or social cause 
- Display professional memberships 
- Show off awards and reviews 

__Personal: __

- Hassle-free window decors during special occasions such as Halloween or Christmas 
- Showing support for your favorite team or organization by sticking their logo or banners on the inside of your car window
- Simply making your personality shine through custom front adhesive window stickers 

## Back adhesive vs. front adhesive stickers 

So, when is it ideal to use back or front-facing adhesive stickers for windows? Not all stickers are made alike and that is exactly why you should know which one to use.

### Use back adhesive stickers when…

- Your sticker is located in a safe area where it’s not at risk being peeled off by passersby 
- You don’t have a store window but you still want to jazz up your exterior with customized decals 
- The opacity of your store window is high that customers wouldn’t be able to see your stickers and designs when it’s stuck on the inside

### Use front adhesive stickers when…

- You have big windows or glass doors that catch the attention of passersby 
- You have very clear windows and they are not prone to dirt or any kind of obstruction to your decals 
- You need a cost-effective way to improve your front store marketing 

## Pros and cons of front adhesive stickers

That said, front adhesive stickers aren’t perfect. Here are a few considerations: 

| Pros       | Cons       |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| - Tamper-proof       | - They cannot be seen clearly on tinted or opaque glasses       |
| - Protected from weather and dirt from outside your window       | - If the glass is obstructed by an external object, the sticker cannot be seen       |
| - Easy to stick on and remove, perfect for display windows that need to change every so often       | - Stickers can still be subjected to wear and tear. They are less permanent compared to other decors, such as paint       |
| - More economical compared to other means of decorating your storefront       |        |

## How to make front adhesive stickers 

Making front adhesive stickers is easier than you thought! Here at Sticker Mule, it’s as easy as 1-2-3!

1. [Upload your sticker](https://www.stickermule.com/products/front-adhesive-stickers) design on our page.
2. Select the desired size, quantity, then request a proof.
3. Request additional changes (if needed) and we’ll ship your stickers within four business days!

Front adhesive stickers are printed on the sticky side of the sticker. This makes them a perfect option for the inside of any window. 

DIY Front Adhesive Stickers 

Introducing custom size roll labels

Sticker Mule first launched circle roll labels in March 2016 and since then, it’s become a hit, especially among small business owners. 

Sticker Mule first [launched circle roll labels in March 2016](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/introducing-circle-roll-labels).

## What are roll labels?

Roll labels are sticker sheets with printed labels or logos. As the name suggests, they are rolled up so they can easily stick on cylindrical surfaces such as bottles or jars. 

### How are custom roll labels used?

You can use personalized roll labels on a lot of things. While most people use it for commercial purposes such as labels and packaging, you can also use it in your home to label your mason jars, refillable shampoo or soap bottles, and essential oils.

Customized roll labels are also used for return address label rolls and identification tags.

## What are the different types of custom roll labels?

Roll labels are the gift that keeps on giving! Did you know that there are different types of roll labels to choose from? We recently updated our custom labels to feature custom sizes. 

Previously, we offered 5 fixed sizes for each shape of the label. Now customers can enter an exact size when ordering their roll labels.

Custom sizes allow customers to get the exact size needed for product labeling, packaging, and other specific uses. We’ve found that small businesses and new e-commerce shops use roll labels when they expand their customer base and begin focusing on scaling their production. 

Customized roll labels are perfect for bottles or jars or different sizes, especially small ones like essential oil roller bottles!

### Circle roll labels

Where to buy customized poly mailers

If you’re a business owner or if you’re running an e-commerce store, you’re no stranger to shipping troubles. Aside from doing all you can to [lower shipping costs](https://www.stickermule.com/blog/save-on-shipping-costs), another point of concern would be the actual packaging. You do want some branding in there, right? And, for sure, you also want to excite your customers? (We could hear the resounding “Yes!”) 

Usually, there is a tradeoff between on-brand packaging and the weight of the packaging itself, which can lead to more shipping costs. So, is there a solution to this? Is there a lightweight alternative that can also put a spotlight on your brand? 

The answer, my friends, is a [poly mailer](https://www.stickermule.com/products/poly-mailers). 

![Introducing poly mailers by Sticker Mule](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/f6079e1231b33bf4037d7cc43fdeb52178444c57)

## What is a poly mailer? 

Poly mailers are elastic-like envelope packaging. They are made from 100% polypropilene material which makes them lightweight, durable, and tear-resistant. Because of this, they are ideal for shipping apparel and non-fragile goods as they also come with a self-seal adhesive strip and an easy-open tear tab.

So for e-commerce store owners asking if you can mail a gift bag or a package in a plastic bag, this can be a good alternative to bulky boxes. 

### What are poly mailers used for? 

Poly mailers are used for shipping products, especially soft goods like clothes. Of course, since it does not have the same protection as a box, it would be better if items placed inside poly mailers are those that are not too fragile. 

### Are poly mailers recyclable?

Yes, poly mailers are recyclable! Most poly mailers are made from eco-friendly materials. Here at Sticker Mule, our poly mailers are made with 100% polypropilene material. They are identified by recycling code 4 and this symbol is printed on the bags. Many local community recycling centers accept code 4 as a safe form of plastic. 

![irl-poly-mailers-1](https://storage.googleapis.com/sm-content/blog/95439fa9333a74c889404b5921dda121e9e55e07)

## How much does it cost to ship poly mailers? 

So if you’re already considering poly mailers (we hope you are!) you may have some questions about shipping. The first being -- Is a poly mailer a large envelope? Well, shipping companies consider a poly mailer a package or a large envelope, depending on its dimensions. 

As a general rule, however, poly mailers are frequently shipped by the United States Postal Service as First Class, Priority Mail, and Media Mail. The service used would be Package or Thick Envelope. Make sure to check with your local post office for more details.

### How much does a poly mailer weigh?

Most people ask how much weight they can put in a poly mailer. Again, this depends on how big the poly mailer is and how much stuff you’re putting inside. 

At Sticker Mule, our poly mailers are available in two sizes (7.5" x 10.5" and 10" x 13"), so you can find the perfect poly mailer for your product. 

Here’s a handy table that can tell you which items can usually fit in the different-sized poly mailers:

| 7.5" x 10.5" | 10" x 13” |
| ---------- | ---------- |
| Socks       | 1 T-Shirt  |
| Napkins     | Dress shirt|
| Washcloths  |            |
| Tea towels  |            |

Take note that this is only a rough guide and the fabric used in the clothing can affect how much would fit in the poly mailer. 

## How to make poly mailers 

Making your poly mailer stand out from the rest can now be easy peasy. Instead of sourcing plain poly mailers and customizing each packet one by one, we have a better solution for you.

Here at Sticker Mule, we’re offering poly mailers to support customers who run small businesses, online shops and e-commerce sites with custom packaging. Our poly mailers also use the same easy checkout and proofing process as custom stickers.

### How do I print on poly mailers?

There are many ways to print on poly mailers, including screen printing, offset printing, inkjet printing, and more. However, this process can be quite complicated because you need the necessary machinery. But don't worry because Sticker Mule is here for you. Simply upload your design and we'll take care of the rest.

Sticker Mule’s custom poly mailers can be printed in full color on one-side. With no restrictions on the artwork, you can fully brand your packaging experience for your own customers regardless of your business size — order as few as 50 units of one design.
