Sticker Printing Price in Nepal: Public Rates and Comparison
Quick answer: Public listings checked on 10 November 2026 show a 12 × 18 paper sticker sheet at NPR 78 (no lamination), vinyl stickers at NPR 75 per square foot and UV stickers at NPR 135 per square foot. These are vendor listings with different units and unstated cutting, lamination and quantity terms, so they are not a market average and not Thankyooou prices.
If you want a real price for your label, the answer is a quote against a fixed specification. This guide shows what the public numbers are, what they leave out, and how to get comparable quotes.
Public listings, 10 November 2026
| Source | Item | Listed price | What is not stated |
|---|---|---|---|
| Print Pasal | 12 × 18 paper sticker | NPR 78 | Dimension unit, sheet yield, adhesive, cut, quantity basis; no lamination |
| Glow N Sign (FAQ) | Vinyl stickers | NPR 75 per sq ft | Substrate, cutting, lamination, durability, quantity |
| Glow N Sign (FAQ) | UV stickers | NPR 135 per sq ft | Substrate, cutting, lamination, durability, quantity |
On the Glow N Sign figures, the UV rate is 1.8 times the vinyl rate per square foot (135 divided by 75). The listings do not say what the UV process includes, so do not treat the gap as a fixed premium.
A per-sheet price and a per-square-foot price cannot be compared without the sheet area and how many labels fit on it. A roll label, cut to shape, with a laminate, is a different product from a flat sheet.
What changes a sticker price

Brief for comparable sticker quotes
- Finished size and shape
- Material and adhesive, and where the sticker will be used (dry, wet, outdoors, fridge)
- Sheet or roll, and the roll core size if a roll
- Cut type
- Colours and finish
- Quantities: for example 500, 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000
- Whether artwork, tax and delivery are included
If your label carries legal information, set the text before you quote. See product label requirements in Nepal and food label requirements.
Roll labels and sheet stickers: different products
| Sheet stickers | Roll labels | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | Flat sheets, cut by hand or machine | Continuous roll on a core |
| Typical use | Small runs, packaging inserts, retail promotions | Bottles, jars, boxes, labelling lines |
| Application | By hand | By hand or a labelling machine |
| Variable data | Possible | Common (batch numbers, sequence) |
| Cut | Kiss-cut or die-cut sheets | Die-cut on the roll |
For machine application, the roll direction, core size and gap between labels matter. Ask the supplier for the exact winding direction and core size for your machine.
Material and adhesive choices
| Material | Use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Paper (matte or gloss) | Dry packaging, boxes, retail | Lowest cost; can tear when wet |
| Vinyl | Bottles, outdoor, moisture | Durable and flexible |
| Clear (transparent) film | Glass and clear containers | Needs a white layer if text must be solid |
| Metallised film | Premium look | Higher cost |
| Kraft paper | Natural look for bags and boxes | Colour looks muted |
| Adhesive | Use |
|---|---|
| Permanent | Most packaging and labels |
| Removable | Temporary promotions, price labels |
| Freezer grade | Cold storage and frozen products |
| Outdoor grade | Signage and equipment |
Match the adhesive to the surface (glass, plastic, cardboard, painted metal) and to the conditions (damp, cold, heat). Ask for a sample and test it on your real product.
Cutting styles
- Straight cut: simple rectangles; the lowest cost.
- Kiss cut: the sticker is cut but the backing is not, so stickers peel off a sheet.
- Die-cut: cut to a custom shape. Requires a die, so there is a setup cost.
- Perforated: easy-tear sheets.
Why a sticker price changes with the shape
A round or rectangular sticker nests tightly on a sheet or roll and wastes little material. A complex shape wastes more and needs a custom die. A small run of an unusual shape can cost much more per piece than a standard shape at the same size.
Per-unit price: a method to compare quotes
Divide the total price by the number of stickers to get a unit price, then compare at the same quantity. Include everything that is not free: setup, die, artwork, delivery, tax.
| Quote | Total | Quantity | Unit price |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | Total A | Q | Total A ÷ Q |
| B | Total B | Q | Total B ÷ Q |
Do not compare a per-sheet price with a per-label price or with a per-square-foot price unless you convert them using the sheet area and the number of labels on it.
Labelling rules to remember
If the label is on a product for sale, the content is a legal matter: the Consumer Protection Act, 2075 sets out what a producer must show. See product label requirements in Nepal, MRP printing and food label requirements.
Testing a label before a full run
- Print a small sample on the real material.
- Apply it to the actual product and container.
- Test it: wet, cold, rubbed, stored for a week.
- Check text size and contrast at a normal viewing distance.
- Approve and record the specification.
Frequently asked questions
Is vinyl or paper better?
Paper suits dry indoor products. Vinyl resists moisture and wear, so it suits bottles, outdoor use and refrigerated items.
Can I get a price per sticker?
Yes, but only for a stated size, material, quantity and finish. Ask for the unit price at two or three quantities.
Are NPR 75 per sq ft vinyl and a roll label the same thing?
No. The per-square-foot figure is a wide-format sticker rate; a roll label is priced on its own specification.
