Sticker Sheet vs Singles on Sheet: What's the difference?
Sticker sheets and singles on a sheet might look similar at first glance, but they serve different purposes. Think of them as sisters, not twins.
Knowing the difference will help you choose the right option for your design, your workflow, and your brand.
TL;DR: Same format. Different purpose.
-
Sticker sheets = multiple different designs on one sheet, each with its own cutline.
-
Great for themed collections, variety, and creative layouts with custom backgrounds.
-
Choose sticker sheets for variety.
-
Singles on sheet = one identical design repeated across the sheet.
-
Ideal for bulk branding, product labels, and easy handouts.
-
Choose singles on a sheet for volume.
What is a Sticker Sheet?
One sheet. Multiple different stickers.
A sticker sheet lets you place several custom designs on the same sheet, each with its own cutline. Every sticker is individually kiss-cut, so it peels off easily, while the backing stays intact.
This product is perfect when:
-
You want different designs in one set
-
You are creating themed collections
-
You want a fun background that ties everything together
-
You are handing them out as party favors, freebies, or retail packs
The sheet itself becomes part of the experience. You can decorate the background, add patterns, colors, or branding elements to create a cohesive look.

Designing a Sticker Sheet
Creating a great sticker sheet is about balance and structure.
Start with the overall sheet size. This determines how many stickers you can fit.
Then choose the shapes and sizes of each individual sticker. You can mix and match, or keep them consistent for a cleaner feel.
Use our templates and editor to arrange your layout. Make sure there is enough spacing between stickers so they are easy to peel. Add clear cutlines for each design and double check that everything feels visually balanced. Consistency is key. Even if the designs are different, keeping a shared theme or style makes the sheet feel intentional.
And if you’re working with the same base design but different content, like numbered labels with identical shape and layout, that’s easy too. Just duplicate the design in the editor and update the numbers or text. Same structure, new content. Clean and efficient

What are Singles on Sheet?
Now, this is where things shift. Singles on a sheet are identical stickers, repeated and neatly lined up on one sheet.
Same design. Same size. Multiple copies.
This format is ideal when:
-
You need bulk branding stickers
-
You want to hand out identical giveaways
-
You are labeling products
-
You want efficiency and easy peeling
It is simple, clean, and practical. Peel, stick, repeat.
If your goal is consistency and scale, singles on a sheet are usually the better choice. Sometimes, one design really is enough.

So, Which One Should You Choose?
It comes down to one thing.
Do you need variety, or do you need volume?
-
Go with a sticker sheet if you want multiple different designs on one sheet.
-
Choose singles on a sheet if you want the same design repeated for easy distribution and branding.
They may look similar in format, but the purpose behind them is completely different.
Final Thoughts
The choice isn’t really about layout. It’s about intention.
If you’re building a collection, telling a story, or creating something that feels curated and fun to explore, a sticker sheet gives you room to play. The background becomes part of the design. The variety becomes part of the experience.
If you’re focused on branding, labeling, or scale, singles on a sheet make life easier. Same design. Fast application. Clean consistency.
When the format supports the purpose, everything feels more considered. And that’s when your stickers don’t just look good, they also work smarter.
