It’s officially fall! It’s once again the time of year when days are filled with fun activities like apple picking and hayrides and evenings are spent watching scary movies and trick-or-treating.

Are you looking for some ideas on how you can embrace spooky season, whether as an artist, a teacher or parent, or even as a small business owner? We took the time to scour the internet and compiled a list of our 6 favorite ways people use custom stickers and labels to make their fall extra magical, starting with:

1) Seasonally-Themed Paper Labels

Do the kids have an upcoming treat day at school? Or maybe you’re throwing a themed costume party, or want to (pumpkin) spice up your seasonal offerings at your small business? Consider adding a festive touch with seasonally-themed paper labels!

Circle paper labels are one of the most popular shapes to use for labels.

Paper labels are easy-to-tear, making them ideal as freshness seals for items such as:

  • Cookie bags
  • School treats
  • Trick-or-treat bags
  • Party favors
  • Temporary packaging

Labels not only can keep treats fresh, but can also list important information, such as the name of the recipient, a logo, or even allergen information!

2) Fall Decor

Decorating for fall doesn’t have to stop with your home, classroom, or office! Consider creating and ordering custom stickers to stick to your laptops, water bottles, car bumper, and other everyday-use items for a magical, seasonal touch. From fall aesthetics to sharing positive, fall-themed messages, custom stickers are a great way to embrace the season.

Glossy, rectangle stickers can add a pop of fall to any object, like laptops and water bottles.

3) Photo Stickers

Do you have a favorite photo of your kid or pet dressed up in a Halloween costume? Turn it into a photo sticker! Photo stickers are a fun alternative to sharing traditional photos with loved ones, and are super easy to make and order — you can do it in two minutes or less!

4) Season-Specific Product Labels & Stickers

Do you specialize in artisanal products? Get attention at the next farmer’s market or harvest festival with season-specific product labels and stickers! Season-specific product labels and stickers that match your fall-themed scents and harvest-season goods are a great way to bring the cozy vibes of autumn to life for each and every one of your customers.

Seasonal stickers give you a chance to infuse other products with your brand or personality!

5) Stickers and Labels for Party Decor and Invites

Throw the costume party of the year? Make sure every element is on theme with custom stickers and labels! Use custom labels to seal envelopes or to use as address labels on invites, personalize food containers and beverage bottles, or to point out allergen information. Use custom stickers for RSVP QR code stickers on invites or to decorate everything from place cards to party favors and gifts.

Glossy die-cut stickers are durable and versatile — great for indoor or outdoor party use!

6) Season-Inspired Stickers for Kids

Are you a teacher or a parent? Make your kids and students feel special this spooky season with customized stickers! Create trick-or-treat/trunk-or-treat bags and use matte stickers or labels to organize different names, schools, or treats, and — our personal favorite — turn kids’ artwork into stickers they can share or even turn into a costume!

Stickers are also great for the kids at heart — such as for your tabletop RPG group!
