Custom Die-Cut Stickers for South Farmingdale, New York

Forty die-cut labels at 1.75 by 2.75 inches come to $57.75, which is $1.44 apiece.

That number is not a package or a bundle. A sticker 1.75 inches by 2.75 inches is 4.8125 square inches of printed area, and at 40 pieces the rate is 30 cents per square inch, so the sum is 4.8125 times 0.30 for the each price, then times 40 for the order. What it buys is a label cut to the outline you drew rather than to a rectangle, printed and cut at our one storefront on East Main Street in Huntington. Nothing is hiding inside the $57.75. The area of the piece and the quantity band you land in are the only two things that move the total.

Why fifty can cost less per label than forty

The rate per square inch steps down as the count goes up: 35 cents from 1 to 24 pieces, 30 cents from 25 to 49, 28 cents from 50 to 99, 26 cents from 100 to 249, 24 cents from 250 to 499, and 22 cents at 500.

The steps matter most when you are sitting just under one. Take the same 1.75 by 2.75 inch label. At 40 pieces you are in the 30 cent band and the order is $57.75. Add ten more and you cross into the 28 cent band, where that label is $1.35 each and 50 of them is $67.38. You paid $9.63 more and got ten extra labels, each of them cheaper than the ones you were already buying. If your batch count is 42 or 46 or 48, look at what 50 does before you commit.

The same logic works in reverse on size. Price follows square inches, so a label you pull in by a quarter inch on the long side costs less at every one of those rates. It is usually easier to shave the artwork than to argue with the arithmetic.

An address with no ZIP of its own

South Farmingdale is one of the places on our list with no ZIP code on file, which means the postal code is not what identifies it. We do not guess one and we would rather you did not either. Orders are keyed to the street address: number, street, the name of the place as you write it, state, and whatever ZIP the carrier associates with your delivery point. Put the address down exactly as your mail already arrives and the order will follow it.

Nassau County is the county that applies to South Farmingdale, and it is worth writing in if a form asks, but the street line is doing the real work. If you have ever had a delivery go sideways because a form wanted a code the place does not have, this is the reason, and it is nothing unusual.

Sizing a label to the jar you actually have

If you bottle or jar at home, the constraint is not the label, it is the flat area of the container. Glass curves, and a label wider than the flat panel will not sit flat on it. Measure the panel first, then take a quarter inch off each dimension before you draw anything.

The 1.75 by 2.75 inch example above is a common shape for a tall, narrow bottle. Squat jars usually want something closer to square. Because we cut to your outline, the shape does not have to be a rectangle at all: a rounded corner, an arch, an oval or a shield all cut the same way, and the price still comes from the square inches the shape occupies, not from how complicated the outline is.

Send us the artwork at the finished size with the outline you want cut marked on it. If you are not sure the outline is right, say so in the order notes and we will look at it before anything runs.

Where the shop is from here

Our storefront sits 11.6 miles north of South Farmingdale in a straight line, which is the only kind of distance we quote. We also cover the places immediately around you: Farmingdale about a mile off, North Massapequa and Plainedge a little under two miles, North Amityville about two. An order placed from any of them is handled the same way as one placed from the middle of your own neighbourhood.

Free local pickup is available at the counter if you would rather not have the box travel. Otherwise we ship within the United States.

Four people who order labels like these

The home producer. You are making jam, hot sauce, soap or candles in small batches and you want the jars to look like they came from one kitchen rather than four. A run of 50 at the 28 cent rate covers a season of a single product, and because the order minimum is met at 10 pieces or $10 of merchandise, you can print a handful of a new flavour to see how it looks on the shelf before you commit to a proper run.

The person with several products. If you have four recipes, you do not need four separate orders. Lay them out at the same finished size, order them together, and the combined quantity is what sets the rate. Four sets of 25 buys at the 100 piece rate, not at the 25 piece rate.

The gift and market seller. Jars going into a basket or onto a table often want two pieces: a face label and a smaller round for the lid. Different shapes are no problem, but remember that the small round adds few square inches while still counting toward the piece total, which usually pushes you into a better band.

The person redoing an old design. If you already have labels on your shelf and want them tidied, send a photo of the jar along with the file. Seeing the label on the container tells us more about the right finished size than the file does alone.

Questions that come up

My South Farmingdale address has no ZIP of its own. What do I put in the checkout form?

Enter the street address exactly as your mail is addressed today, including whatever ZIP your post already uses, and put the state as New York. The street line is what we key the order to.

I want 40 of the 1.75 by 2.75 inch labels for a South Farmingdale kitchen. Is it really cheaper to order 50?

Not cheaper overall, but cheaper per label. Forty is $57.75 at $1.44 each. Fifty is $67.38 at $1.35 each. You spend $9.63 more and every label in the order costs nine cents less.

Does a South Farmingdale order qualify if I only want ten small jar labels?

Yes. An order qualifies at 10 or more pieces or at $10 of merchandise, whichever you reach first. It is not a price floor, so a small test run of ten is a perfectly normal order.

Can I collect a South Farmingdale order at the Huntington counter instead of having it sent?

Yes, local pickup is free and you are welcome to take it from the shop on East Main Street.

My street is closer to Plainedge than to the centre of South Farmingdale. Does that change my order?

No. Plainedge, Farmingdale, North Massapequa and North Amityville are all covered the same way, at the same rates, with the order keyed to your street address rather than to which name sits on the boundary nearest you.
