A4 Sticker Paper Bulk Price: Cost per Label

A4 sticker paper is the low-cost way to start printing shipping labels. To compare it fairly with thermal rolls, you need the full cost per label, including ink.

Cost per label

1. Pack price ÷ number of sheets = cost per sheet.
2. Add your printer's cost per page for ink or toner.
3. Divide by labels per sheet: 4 for ST4, 1 for ST1.

On ST4, one printed page gives four labels, so the cost per label is about a quarter of the per-page cost.

ST1 or ST4?

• ST4 is the most economical for standard shipping labels. Crop labels to quarter-A4 with the label cropper so four fit on a page.
• ST1 suits full-page labels, or when you cut custom sizes.

When to switch to thermal

Orders a month	Better choice
Under ~200	A4 sticker sheets
200 to 500	Either; thermal saves time
Over 500	Thermal label rolls

Thermal printing needs no ink, so per-label cost falls and printing is much faster. See thermal label roll bulk price.

Buying tips

Store sheets flat in their pack, away from humidity, which can make them curl and jam. Buy the bigger pack once you know the sheets work with your printer.
