Add a Real Metallic Shine to a Full-Color Sticker
The shine on a metallic sticker comes from a real foil accent, not the ink. Your design prints in full-color CMYK on the front, then that foil is added on top, so a logo, some lettering, or a highlight catches the light like polished metal while the rest of the artwork stays in normal color. The back stays blank, and the whole label reads as premium the moment it lands in a hand, whether it seals a package, wraps a bottle, or marks a laptop. Sets of 500 start at $108.75 and hold a 5.0 out of 5 across 1 review.
You get real foil on a full color label for well under a quarter each, on a Semi-Gloss Label under a High Gloss UV coat that protects the foil in a shipping box.

What Are Metallic Stickers
Here a metallic sticker is a full color CMYK label with a real metallic foil accent on the parts you choose, a logo, a word or a border, while photos and background color print as normal around them. It comes on a Semi-Gloss Label material in 20 sizes from a 1.5" x 3.5" strip to a 6" x 9", under a High Gloss UV coating. Brands order them when a plain label would fall flat: premium product labels, packaging seals, logo stickers, and giveaway stickers that need to look like they cost more than they do. If you want the shine printed straight into the label with metallic ink instead of a foil accent, the Metallic Ink Stickers sit right beside this option.
What Size Should a Metallic Sticker Be
Size it to the package. The 1.5" x 3.5" default runs down a bottle neck, across a jar lid or along a book spine. A 2" x 2" square carries a foil logo on a laptop or a box seal. From 2" x 3" up, the foil accent has room to frame a whole box top or a window label. There are 20 set sizes in the configurator, with a default of 1.5" x 3.5" and common picks at 1.75" x 3.5", 2" x 2", and 2" x 3". If none fits exactly, order a custom size up to 6" x 9", made to order. All sizes are grouped below the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
- Under 3 inches. The range starts at 1.5" x 3.5", the size that seals a box flap, a bag fold or a coffee lid without covering the artwork underneath.
- Mid sizes. The working sizes for jars, bottles, folders and laptop lids, where a foil logo still reads from arm's length.
- Large. Up to 6" x 9", the size that carries a full label layout, and the same 6" x 9" ceiling applies to a custom size made to order.
What Gives Metallic Stickers Their Shine
Your full-color CMYK design prints on the front, and a genuine metallic foil accent is applied over it, so a logo, a monogram, or a highlight reads like polished metal in the same label. The foil handles the shine while the CMYK carries the color, and the back stays blank. The accent sits on a printed base, so you get foil on the logo without paying to foil the whole sticker.
One material, built for shine
The one stock, Semi-Gloss Label material, holds full-color ink cleanly and gives the foil a smooth base to sit on.
A High Gloss UV coating on top
Each sticker finishes with a High Gloss UV coating. It deepens the CMYK color, protects the foil accent through handling and shipping, and gives the label a bright, glassy surface over the foil.
How Much Do Metallic Stickers Cost
Four runs are on offer: 500 for $108.75, 1,000 for $141.70, 2,500 for $251.54 and 5,000 for $416.28, near 8 cents a sticker at the top. Doubling from 500 to 1,000 adds about $33. Drag the slider below to set your count and see the total and the per-sticker cost.
Wally makes a full-color sticker shine like metal
A real metallic foil accent on every label, from $108.75 for 500.
Metallic stickers print your design in full color and add a real metallic foil accent on the front, so 500 cost $108.75 and each one still looks premium. Pick a size, and Wally prints them on a Semi-Gloss Label with a High Gloss UV shine.
What is the minimum order for metallic stickers
500 stickers. The quantity ladder runs 500, 1,000, 2,500 and 5,000, and the price per sticker drops at every step, from about 22 cents at 500 down to roughly 8 cents at 5,000. Production is 7 business days on the standard turnaround, so a launch, a market or an event date needs the file in hand more than a week out. There is no sample or single piece option on this product, because the foil accent is set up per run.
What Do People Use Metallic Stickers For
Candle makers and small-batch brands put a foil logo on a full color jar or bottle label. Boutiques seal tissue paper and boxes with one. Event teams hand out giveaway stickers with a foil name, and award, certification and promo labels use a foil border or seal. The foil covers only the accent while the rest prints in CMYK, so even a 500 run costs sticker prices.

Metallic Stickers: Frequently Asked Questions
Is the shine on these stickers ink or foil?
It is a real metallic foil accent added on top of the printed artwork, not a metallic ink. Your design prints in full color CMYK on the front first, then the foil goes over the elements you want to shine, so a logo or a highlight reads like polished metal while the rest of the art stays in normal color.
Can the back of the sticker be printed?
No, the back is left blank on this product. That side carries the adhesive, so all artwork including the foil accent lives on the front face.
What sizes can I order?
There are 20 sizes, from a compact 1.5 inch by 3.5 inch up to a 6 inch by 9 inch. A custom size is also made to order up to 6 inches by 9 inches. A small size suits a box seal with a foil logo, while the larger labels wrap a bottle with room for the foil accent and the product copy.
What is the sticker material?
A Semi Gloss Label finished with a High Gloss UV coating. The coating is what keeps the foil accent crisp once the stickers are peeled, pressed, and handled rather than dulling at the edges.
How cheap do these get at higher quantities?
500 stickers start at $108.75, about 22 cents each. The price slides to roughly 8 cents each on a 5,000 run, so a seal you apply to every shipment is worth ordering in bulk.
How long does it take to get them?
Standard production is 7 business days after your artwork is approved, plus shipping. A free online proof option is available first, which is worth using here so you can confirm exactly which elements carry the foil.
How can I make my own metallic stickers?
Design the sticker in full color and mark which parts get the metallic accent, since the foil sits on the front over the CMYK print. Pick one of 20 sizes from 1.5" x 3.5" up to 6" x 9", or a custom size inside that limit, and order from 500. Choose the free online proof so you can check the foil placement before the run, which takes 7 business days.
Where can I buy metal stickers?
Right here, if what you mean is a sticker that shines like metal. 4OVER4 prints them on a Semi-Gloss Label with a real metallic foil accent under a High Gloss UV coating, from $108.75 per 500. These are printed labels, not stamped metal plates, so they stick to jars, boxes, bottles and laptops the way any label does. A run of 1,000 is $141.70 and 5,000 is $416.28.
What are the key differences between metallic stickers and vinyl stickers?
Vinyl is a material and metallic is a finish. A vinyl sticker is a plastic film built to hold on through water and weather outdoors. The metallic sticker on this page is a Semi-Gloss Label with a foil accent and a High Gloss UV coat, made for packaging, seals and giveaways where the shine matters more than rain. Choose the sticker for the surface first and the finish second.
