Thank-you stickers for boxes and bags: designs, wording and materials

A customer thank-you sticker is a small label with a thank-you message and your shop logo, stuck on the box, bag or wrapping of an order. The fastest way to make one is to pick a ready-made template, swap in your logo, colors and message right on the web, preview it, then order printing in the app, from just 1 order.

Whether you sell cosmetics, fashion, baby products, sweets, handmade goods or gifts, you want packaging that looks neat without printing custom boxes yet. A thank-you sticker in your brand colors is the simplest step. This post covers templates, thank-you wording, materials and how to adapt a template to your logo.

What are customer thank-you stickers for?

A thank-you sticker, or thank-you label, does three jobs at once:

• Says thanks and reminds customers of your shop name for their next purchase.

• Seals the package: placed across the box lid or bag opening so customers can see the parcel is intact.

• Decorates the package when customers take photos or film an unboxing video.

Where should you put a thank-you sticker?

Where you stick it decides which kind of label to choose:

• Gift boxes, cosmetics boxes: in the center or a corner of the lid.

• Cake and pastry boxes: across the edge of the lid, both decorating and keeping the lid closed.

• Paper bags, kraft bags: on the folded edge of the bag opening.

• Tissue paper around clothing: where the two edges of paper meet, instead of tape.

• Zip bags, plastic bags for baby products: on the front; plastic decals work best.

Round or square labels suit box lids and paper bag openings; to seal a box, place a round label or a long rectangular strip across the lid edge. Common sizes are covered in common product label and sticker sizes and decal label sizes.

What should a thank-you sticker say?

A small sticker only needs 3 parts:

1. A short thank-you that can be read at a glance.

2. Your logo or shop name.

3. One identifying line, such as a short slogan or your store name on a marketplace.

What to avoid when shipping through e-commerce marketplaces

For reference only, not legal advice. Policies change, so read the latest version before you print.

• TikTok Shop: according to the customer communication policy on TikTok Shop Vietnam's Seller University, the rules also apply to paper notes placed inside parcels: no external links, QR codes, off-platform store addresses, personal contact details, or rewards in exchange for good reviews.

• Shopee: the marketplace has its own rules on off-platform transactions. Before printing labels for Shopee orders, check your content against the current policy in the Shopee seller channel.

The safe approach: keep only the thank-you message, logo and store name on the sticker. Some ready-made templates include a sample phone number; delete that line before printing for marketplace orders.

Frequently asked questions

What should a customer thank-you sticker say?

A short thank-you, your logo or shop name, and at most one identifying line. If you sell through marketplaces, leave out phone numbers, QR codes and external links.

Which decal should I use on plastic bags?

Use a plastic decal: it sticks well to smooth surfaces. You choose the decal type when ordering.

How is a box seal label different from a thank-you sticker?

A box seal is usually a long strip placed across the lid edge so customers know the box has not been opened. A thank-you sticker is usually round or square and decorative. Many shops print both in the same design.

Can I make a thank-you sticker without graphic design software?

Yes. On Printaz, you pick a template, replace the logo, colors and thank-you text right on the web, then order printing in the app, from 1 order.
