How to Order Box Stickers From Paper-Ink: Idea, Proof, Print and Delivery
To order custom box stickers in Saudi Arabia from Paper-Ink, you measure the spot on your box, pick a matching product in the packaging stickers category, choose a quantity, send your artwork (or use the design service), approve a free digital proof, and receive your order anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC. Here is what to check at every step.
Key takeaways
- Start with the box, not the artwork: measure the flat area and decide whether you need a seal or a permanent label.
- Each product lists its own size and material; you choose the quantity from a dropdown on the product page.
- Nothing goes to print until you approve the free digital proof.
- Delivery covers Saudi Arabia and the GCC, with free shipping on orders of SAR 250 or more.
Before you order custom box stickers: three decisions to make first
Most delays on a sticker order come from questions nobody answered at the start. Spend five minutes with an actual box in your hand:
- What is the sticker’s job? A seal that closes the box and tears or peels when opened, a branding label that stays on the lid, or an information label with product name and directions. The job decides the size and the material.
- Where exactly will it go? Flat lid, wrapped over an edge, or the side panel. Measure the flat area with a ruler and leave a margin on every side so the sticker never sits on a fold or corner.
- What will the box go through? A fridge, a hot delivery car in a Jeddah summer, rubbing in a courier bag, or a dry shop shelf. If you are unsure which material survives that, read our guide to box sticker materials by industry.

How to order box stickers on paper-ink.com, step by step
1) Choose a product from the packaging stickers range
Open the sticker printing category and look at the packaging and box sticker products. Each listing states its size and material: several packaging stickers are printed on tear-resistant plastic stock, and some come in a wide format that wraps around the box. Pick the product whose size is closest to what you measured, not the one whose photo looks most like your idea.
2) Select your quantity
Packaging sticker pages offer a quantity dropdown, typically starting at 100 pieces and going up to several thousand depending on the product, and the live price updates as soon as you choose. If the design is new or untested on your box, start with the smallest quantity, then move to bulk once you have confirmed fit and adhesion.
3) Send print-ready artwork, or use the design service
If you already have a design, make sure it is built at the product’s real size, at print resolution, with a safe zone that keeps text away from the cut edge. Your logo should ideally be vector (AI, PDF or SVG), not a screenshot from Instagram. Our sticker file preparation guide covers the details.
No file, or only a logo? Paper-Ink offers a design and file-prep service: send your logo, the text you need and your brand colors, and the artwork is prepared to the product’s size. Reach us on WhatsApp or Instagram (@paperink369) to send files or request design help.
4) Review and approve your free digital proof
Before anything is printed, you receive a free digital proof showing the design at actual size. Treat it as the most important step of the whole order:
- Read every word slowly, especially phone numbers, handles and product names.
- Print the proof at 100% scale on plain paper and hold it against the box.
- Check that nothing important sits near the cut line.
- Remember screens look brighter than print, and “white” areas take the color of the stock.
Only approve when you are fully happy. Changes at proof stage cost nothing; changes after printing mean a reprint.
5) Production and timing
Production starts after you approve the proof, not before, so the fastest way to get your stickers sooner is to reply to the proof quickly. Ask about the expected turnaround when you order, and if you have a launch or a seasonal deadline, mention it upfront so it can be planned for.
6) Shipping and delivery
Paper-Ink is based in Jeddah and ships across Saudi Arabia and to the GCC, with free shipping on orders of SAR 250 or more. Whether you need box stickers in Jeddah, Riyadh or Dubai, the ordering path is the same.

Tips to make box sticker orders easier and cheaper
- Standardize one size. If your boxes are similar, one sticker size can cover them all, so you order a larger run of one design instead of several small ones. See our common sticker size guide.
- Separate fixed from changing info. Keep the logo on the seal and put flavors or batch dates on a smaller separate label, so a change doesn’t force a full reprint.
- Test on real boxes. Apply a few, leave them for a day, then peel one the way a customer would.
- Order realistically. Two to three months of stock usually beats a pile that outlives your current design.
FAQ
Do I need finished artwork to order box stickers?
No. If you have a design at the right size, send it directly. If not, Paper-Ink’s design and file-prep service can build it from your logo, text and brand colors sent over WhatsApp. The artwork is prepared to the size of the product you chose, and you check it in the free digital proof before anything is printed.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It depends on the product, and the available quantities appear in the dropdown on each product page. Packaging stickers typically start at 100 pieces. For a new design, start with the smallest option to test size and adhesion on your actual box before moving to larger bulk quantities.
Is the proof free, and can I request changes?
Yes. The digital proof is free and arrives before printing. Check the text, size and anything close to the edge, and ask for changes before you approve. Production only starts once you sign off, so the proof is the right place to catch mistakes without paying for a reprint.
Do you ship box stickers outside Jeddah?
Yes. Paper-Ink is in Jeddah and delivers across Saudi Arabia and to GCC countries, with free shipping on orders of SAR 250 or more. If you are working toward a launch or a sale season, mention the date when you order, and keep in mind production begins after proof approval.
How do I pick the right sticker size for my box?
Measure the flat area where the sticker will sit and leave a margin on every side so it doesn’t run onto edges. Then choose the product closest to that size. The best check is printing the proof at 100% on plain paper and placing it on the box before you approve.
