It depends. If you already have the equipment to print your own labels, printing a few labels will likely be the cheaper option.

However, if you are just starting out with label printing and want to order a larger quantity of different materials, getting labels printed by a professional label printer can actually save you money.
How's that, you wonder? Let us dive a little deeper into your options.
Do you already have everything you need to make your own labels? Then the additional cost of printing your own labels will only be the material expenses, which can be very cost-effective.
But if you have to buy new equipment to get your DIY label production going, it can get very expensive, very fast. All in all, this process can cost you up to £900. Let's find out why.
This is the most important part of creating your own labels. You want to be sure to design high-res artwork to make your labels look their best.
Even if you have no design experience, you do not have to worry. There are plenty of free, online design tools you can use. Why not give Graphic by Sticker it a try? It has hundreds of free templates you can choose from.
No matter if you want to create your own labels or order labels, this step is free.
Printing labels is a bit more complicated. Do you have a printer that gives you the print quality you want for your labels? Do you want to print labels on laser printers or rather inkjet printers?
A great printer that offers premium print quality will cost between £300 and £500. A quick Google search will result in cheaper options, but when it comes to printers, what you pay for is what you get. Factor in ink cost as well, especially if you want to sell your printed labels.
If you want your labels to have a premium shine and withstand tearing, water and fading in the sunlight, lamination is a must.
At-home laminators start at £30 and can go up to £100. Depending on the look you want to create (e.g. matte or glossy), you can purchase different materials.
When you are after a traditional label shape like round or square, you might be able to find pre-cut labels online. These are usually available in a white plastic material or white paper.
If you want to create a custom shape instead, you can buy a die-cutting machine, from anything from £100 to £300. This depends on the material you want to use and the shape you want your stickers to have.
