Occasion Stickers in Saudi Arabia: A Planner for Ramadan, Founding Day, Eid, Graduation and Newborn Favours
Every Saudi occasion comes with its own giveaways: dates boxes in Ramadan, Eid chocolates, Founding Day and National Day gifts, graduation, newborn and wedding favours. What turns a plain box into a personal gift? Usually a small custom sticker with a name, a date and the right greeting.
This planner from Paper-Ink, a sticker printing service in Jeddah, maps the upcoming occasions, suggests the sticker type, size and wording for each, and tells you when to order so nothing arrives late.

Planning tip for 2027: Founding Day is expected to fall around the middle of Ramadan. Retailers and companies can save time by combining Ramadan and Founding Day stickers in a single early order.
Ramadan and Gergean stickers
The most common requests are round seals for dates and dessert boxes, and name stickers for Gergean treat bags. Popular wording: “Ramadan Kareem”, “رمضان كريم”, “Gergean + child’s name”. A 4–6 cm sticker fits most boxes — order round and square custom stickers with your own design. For staff and client gifting, see our Ramadan and Eid corporate gifting guide.
Founding Day stickers
Founding Day (22 February) has an official visual identity, and the official Founding Day website provides a downloadable brand guide. Check it before finalising your design so colours and symbols are used correctly. The best-known slogan is «يوم بدينا» (“The Day We Began”).
Ready-made options: Founding Day chocolate stickers, round Founding Day stickers and Founding Day sticker sheets for schools and kids.
Eid stickers
A 4 cm sticker on each chocolate, or a larger seal on Eidiya bags. Popular greetings: “Eid Mubarak”, «عيدكم مبارك», «كل عام وأنتم بخير». Ready to order: 4 cm Eid stickers, Eid sticker sheets and Eid al-Adha sticker sheets.
Graduation, newborn and wedding stickers
- Graduation: “Congratulations [Name] — Class of 2027” on gift boxes and bouquets.
- Newborns: “Welcome [Baby’s name]” plus the date on chocolate boxes and favour bags.
- Weddings: the couple’s initials in elegant Arabic calligraphy — stunning in gold. See our holographic, gold and silver sticker guide.

Sheets or individual stickers? Which size?
- Sticker sheets (A5 or A6): great for kids, schools and as a gift in themselves.
- Individual cut stickers: fastest for labelling large numbers of boxes and favours.
- Size guide: 3–4 cm for chocolates, 5–6 cm for boxes, 8 cm+ for hampers and large cartons.
More detail in our sticker size guide and sheets vs. rolls comparison.
When should you order?
- 3–4 weeks before: finalise design, wording and size.
- At least 2 weeks before: place the order to leave time for printing, shipping and checking.
- A few days before: start applying stickers — don’t leave it for the last night.
Peak seasons such as Ramadan and National Day are busy for every print shop in the Kingdom, so ordering early is your best guarantee.

Occasion Sticker FAQs
When should I order Ramadan and Eid stickers?
Finalise your design three to four weeks before the occasion and place the order at least two weeks ahead to allow for printing and shipping, especially during busy seasons.
What size sticker is best for chocolates?
3–4 cm suits individual chocolates, 5–6 cm suits boxes, and 8 cm or larger works for hampers and large cartons.
Can I use the Founding Day logo on stickers?
The official Founding Day website offers a downloadable brand guide. Review it before finalising your design to make sure colours and symbols are used correctly.
Should I choose sticker sheets or individual stickers for giveaways?
Sheets are ideal for kids, schools and as a gift on their own; individual cut stickers are faster for labelling many boxes and favours.
Can each sticker have a different name?
It depends on the order type and quantity. Send your details through the quote request form and we will suggest the best option.
