Party labels come in a wide range of sizes. Common small sizes include rectangles around 1" × 2.75" or 1.25" × 2" and round cup stickers about 2" in diameter. Larger labels include wine-bottle labels (around 4" × 5") and other full-size sticker sheets; some labels are also sold on rolls with sizes like 2" × 3". Pack and roll specs vary by product.
Party labels are designed to stick to common surfaces such as paper, glass and metal, and many are formulated for disposable or plastic cups. Some adhesives can also work on fabric, but adhesion depends on the label material and the surface finish—check the product details to confirm suitability.
Many party labels are writable with pens, markers or permanent markers so you can add names or messages by hand. Other labels come preprinted with decorative designs or messages. Plain kraft or white stickers are popular for handwritten personalization, while some products offer templates for printing or predesigned labels.
Most bottle labels are peel-and-stick: peel the label from its backing, align an edge on the bottle, then smooth and roll the label across the surface to avoid bubbles and wrinkles. For labels printed on waterproof sticker paper, apply them before chilling the bottle for best results when bottles will be refrigerated.
Water resistance depends on the label material. Some labels are printed on waterproof sticker paper and are suitable for bottles that will be chilled if applied beforehand; standard paper or kraft labels are not typically water-resistant. Always review the product description for claims like “waterproof” or “weatherproof.”
