Die-Cut Stickers and Labels for New Rochelle, New York

Can a bin label be cut to the shape you actually drew, instead of a rectangle with rounded corners? Yes, and that is the entire point of a die cut. You give us the outline, we cut on that outline, so a tag shaped like your logo, a label with a notch that clears a shelf lip, or a long thin strip sized for the front edge of a parts drawer each come off the cutter as that shape and nothing else. Office managers in New Rochelle ask this before anything else, usually because the last batch came back as squares on a sheet and somebody spent an afternoon trimming them with scissors at a desk.

The nearest thing we have to a Westchester neighbour

Of every place we cover in Westchester County, New Rochelle is the one closest to the shop. We work out of a single storefront at 205 East Main Street in Huntington, and the straight line between that counter and you measures 20.3 miles, running west from us. That is a line on a map and nothing more, not a route. It matters mostly because it puts you within reach of free local pickup if you would rather collect a box in person than have it sent. Everything else we print goes out by post anywhere in the United States.

What a shelf label actually costs

Die-cut stickers are priced by the square inch, and the rate per square inch comes down as the piece count goes up. From 1 to 24 pieces the rate is 35 cents. From 25 to 49 it is 30 cents. From 50 to 99 it is 28 cents. From 100 to 249 it is 26 cents. From 250 to 499 it is 24 cents. At 500 it is 22 cents.

Work an example through, because the arithmetic is more useful than the table. A

3 by 4 inch label is 12 square inches. Order 200 of them and the rate is 26 cents, which makes each label $3.12 and the run of 200 comes to $624.00. Push the same label to 250 pieces and the rate steps down to 24 cents, so each one is $2.88 and 250 of them total $720.00. That is worth knowing if you are sitting just under a break point. You get 50 more labels and a lower price on every single one of them, for a total that is only modestly higher.

Sizes that suit bins, drawers and shelf edges

Because cost follows area rather than piece count, the size you settle on drives the budget more than anything else. A 3 by 4 inch label is generous, big enough for a category name, a two line description and a code, and it is the size most people land on for open stacking bins. Drop to a narrow strip for drawer fronts and the square inch count falls with it, which pulls the per piece figure down even inside the same rate band. It is worth mocking up one label at full size on plain paper and taping it to the actual bin before you commit to a run. Nearly every reprint we see comes from a label that was the right shape for the artboard and the wrong shape for the shelf.

Artwork that reads from across a room

Shelf labels are read standing up, at an angle, from several feet back, and that should shape the design more than brand guidelines usually allow. Heavy type, short words and a strong split between the ink and the background do the work. Thin decorative faces and pale grey on white look correct on screen and turn into a smudge on a shelf. Leave a little clear space between your text and the cut line so the outline never crowds a letter. If you have a vector file with the cut path drawn as its own shape, send it that way and we will cut exactly on it. If you do not, tell us where you want the edge to fall and we will draw it and show you before anything is cut.

Small runs and runs you repeat

There is a minimum, and it is a low one. An order qualifies at 10 or more pieces, or at $10 of merchandise, whichever of the two you reach first. That is a threshold to clear, not a price floor, so a single shelving unit that needs a dozen labels is a perfectly normal order and not something you have to pad out. It also means you can test a design at a small count, live with it on the shelf for a while, then come back for the full set once you know the wording works.

Four desks these tend to land on

An office manager taking over a supply room that has been labelled with tape and marker for years. The usual approach is one run covering every bin in the room, one size throughout, so the wall reads as a system rather than a collection of guesses.

A studio manager with shelves of material that only the people who put it there can identify. Here the labels usually carry a name and a code, and they get ordered in a single batch so the numbering stays consistent.

A practice or clinic putting labels on drawers of consumables. Short words, large type, nothing clever, because the person reading it is usually holding something in both hands.

A workshop labelling parts drawers along a bench. These are almost always long thin strips, and the cut shape matters more than the graphics, since the label has to sit inside a recessed drawer face without wrapping around it.

Getting the box to you

Orders go to any of 10801, 10802, 10804 and 10805 without any difference in price, and the same holds for the places nearest you that we also cover: Mount Vernon at 2.9 miles, Manorhaven at 5.9, Yonkers at 6.2, Port Washington North at 6.3 and Bronx at 6.7, all straight line figures. If your company has more than one site in that cluster, pick whichever address someone will actually be standing at when the box arrives.

Questions we get asked

We want 200 of the 3 by 4 inch bin labels sent to New Rochelle. What is the total? Twelve square inches at the 100 to 249 rate of 26 cents is $3.12 per label, so 200 pieces come to $624.00.

Is it worth pushing a New Rochelle order from 200 pieces up to 250? Often yes. At 250 the rate drops to 24 cents, which makes the same 3 by 4 inch label $2.88 each and the run of 250 $720.00. You end up with 50 spare labels and a lower unit price on the whole set.

Our studio in New Rochelle only needs a dozen labels for one shelving unit. Is that too small to order? No. Twelve pieces clears the 10 piece minimum on its own, so it is a normal order and nothing needs padding.

Can we collect a New Rochelle order at the Huntington storefront instead of having it sent? Yes. Local pickup is free, and it is the option most people take when they are already coming this way.

We have offices in both New Rochelle and Mount Vernon. Does the billing address change anything? Not on price. The rate per square inch is the same to either, so choose the site where the box should physically land and use that as the delivery address.
