What is Backprinting?

Backprinted Stickers let you print custom messaging on the release liner—the backing paper that's visible before your sticker is peeled away. Instead of leaving this space blank, you can use it to add branding, instructions, promotions, or other helpful information that creates a more memorable customer experience.

Because customers see the backing before they apply the sticker, backprinting is a simple but effective way to reinforce your brand, share important details, or encourage further engagement.

What Can You Print on the Back of a Sticker?

The backing paper offers valuable space to communicate with your customers beyond the sticker itself.

Popular backprinting ideas include:

  • Application instructions
  • Brand messaging or taglines
  • QR codes
  • Website URLs
  • Social media handles
  • Promo codes and special offers
  • Product care instructions
  • Limited-time campaigns
  • Event information
  • Thank-you messages

Whether you're building brand awareness or creating a premium unboxing experience, backprinting helps you get more value from every sticker you distribute.
