Cheapest Way to Ship Stickers
Lightweight and flat, stickers are among the cheapest items to mail anywhere in the country.
Shipping Options for Stickers
Stickers and decals are one of the simplest items to ship. Their flat profile and negligible weight mean you can often send them in a standard envelope or rigid mailer for just a few dollars. For small orders of a few sheets, a stamped letter may suffice. Larger or bulk sticker orders benefit from padded mailers or rigid cardboard to prevent bending during transit.

Packaging Tips for Stickers
Pro Tips
- Mark the envelope 'Do Not Bend' and use a non-machinable rigid mailer to avoid sorting machine damage.
- For vinyl stickers, store flat and avoid rolling them in tubes, as they can develop a permanent curl.
- Consider offering sticker bundles to increase order value while keeping shipping costs nearly the same.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, a few flat sticker sheets can go in a standard letter envelope with a first-class stamp. However, if the envelope feels rigid or is thicker than 1/4 inch, you may need to pay the non-machinable surcharge. Using a rigid mailer is recommended for valuable or collectible stickers.
Insert a piece of cardboard or chipboard on each side of the stickers inside the envelope. You can also use a rigid stay-flat mailer designed specifically to prevent bending. Marking the package 'Do Not Bend' provides an extra layer of awareness for mail carriers.
For a single sheet or small pack, a stamped letter envelope costs under $1. For slightly larger orders, USPS Ground Advantage starts around $3-4 for packages under a pound. Bulk orders may benefit from USPS Priority Mail Flat Rate envelopes at a fixed price regardless of weight.
