Christmas Gift Label Stickers: Sizes, Costs and Steps

Personalised Christmas gift labels, start to finish

A gift label has one job. It tells someone which present is theirs. A personalised Christmas sticker does that with their name on a banner and their face drawn into a festive scene.

This guide covers the practical bits. Which size to pick, what it costs, and how to make a sheet.

Which sticker size works as a gift label

The materials and sizing guide covers four sticker sizes on a 4 × 7 in sheet. Counts and sizes are approximate. A finished sheet can land one sticker either side of the plan.

Size	Longest side	Stickers per sheet	As a gift label
Small	about 3 cm	about 15	Envelopes, small boxes, stocking fillers
Medium	about 4.5 cm	about 8	Most wrapped presents
Large	about 5 cm	about 4	Bigger boxes and sacks
XL	about 9.5 cm	about 2	The bike that won't wrap

Medium is the safe pick. The name stays easy to read from across the room, and it still fits on a book-sized present.

Small is worth it if you're labelling a lot of little things. The name banner gets small at about 3 cm, so keep the name short.

What it costs: one worked example

All prices are AUD and come straight from the current price list.

• 1 or 2 sheets: $12 a sheet
• 3 to 9 sheets: $10 a sheet
• 10 or more sheets: $8 a sheet
• Standard shipping in Australia: $5, or free once your sheets add up to $40

Each sheet carries one name. So say you have three kids and want a sheet of medium labels for each one.

Three sheets puts you on the $10 tier. That's $30 for the sheets, plus $5 shipping, so $35 all up. You get about 24 labels, roughly 8 per kid. That works out at about $1.46 a label, shipped.

A fourth sheet takes the sheets to $40, which clears the free shipping line. Four sheets cost $40 delivered. So the fourth one only adds $5 to the bill. That's a sheet for a grandparent or a cousin.

How to make your gift labels

1. Upload a photo. Use one clear photo of the person, face visible, in good light.
2. Pick a scene and a size. The Christmas Gift Tag scene has holly, candy canes and a red bow. Arctic Friends has a wintry look. You can also describe your own, like Santa in boardies at the beach.
3. Add the name banner. Type the name and it goes on every sticker on the sheet. One name per sheet.
4. Order. Preview the sheet first, then check out. Look at the shipping page for current delivery times, and order well before the last posting days in December.
5. Peel and stick. Put the label on a flat part of the wrapped present, away from folds and tape. Press it down from the middle out.

Other ways to use a Christmas sheet

Spare stickers can close a Christmas card envelope. Stick one over the flap. Small is the size for that.

Or cut a sheet up for an advent calendar, one sticker behind each door. It suits sticker-loving kids who'd rather collect than eat.

Homemade jam or shortbread can carry one too. Put "From our kitchen" on the banner instead of a name.

For a teacher, try a sticker of the class pet or the teacher's own dog. The custom pet stickers post covers pets.

Stocking fillers under $20

One sheet costs $12. With $5 standard shipping, that's $17 delivered. So a single sheet fits a stocking filler budget under $20. For more ideas at that price, see the gifts under $20 guide.

Make your Christmas gift labels

The Christmas gift tags page opens with the gift tag scene already picked. Add a photo, type a name and preview the sheet before you order.
