Campaign lapel stickers for volunteers, events & Election Day

The 3″ circle is the campaign standard for lapel stickers. It’s readable from across a room, right-sized for a supporter’s chest or a volunteer’s jacket, and large enough for your candidate name and campaign logo to be immediately recognizable. Use 2.25″ for budget-conscious high-volume runs where you need maximum quantity. Use 2×3″ rectangle when your candidate name is long or you need bilingual text.

Campaign lapel stickers in the 3″ circle start at $0.44 each at 500 stickers and drop to $0.08 each at 5,000 stickers. At 5,000 stickers your total is $417 — one of the best budget stretchers in campaign printing. The 2.25″ circle drops to $0.06 each at 5,000 ($295 total). Volume pricing applies automatically in the store.

Yes — and most campaigns that start by searching for campaign buttons end up ordering lapel stickers instead. Stickers are faster to produce, cheaper per unit, and easier to distribute at scale than buttons. No pins, no assembly, no risk of damaging clothing. At 5,000 stickers for under $420, they are the most budget-friendly visibility tool available for campaigns at any level.

Yes — union printed lapel stickers are especially effective at union halls, endorsement events, and labor council meetings. Supporters wear them throughout the event, creating visible solidarity. The union bug on every sticker signals shared values to union households and satisfies endorsement requirements from labor organizations. Learn more about why campaigns use union printing.

Candidate name, office, and one clear visual — campaign logo or a bold message. Keep it simple. At 3 inches, every word competes for space. The most effective lapel stickers have high-contrast colors, readable text at arm’s length, and the union bug on the front. Avoid cramming policy positions or endorsement lists onto a sticker — save that for your campaign palm cards.

Include lapel stickers in your launch bundle — you’ll need them from day one for volunteer identification and early events. Plan to reorder before every major event, canvass kickoff, and the final Election Day push. All stickers ship within 5 business days, so build your order timeline around your event calendar. See the campaign print calendar for production deadlines.

We recommend a High Quality Print PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK color mode. Round stickers need artwork built to the die-cut circle template — download it in the store before you start your design. We also accept AI, EPS, and high-resolution PNG files. All fonts must be outlined or embedded. Bad art files are the #1 cause of delayed orders.

The minimum order is 500 stickers. In practice, 1,000+ is the minimum useful quantity for most campaigns — a single event can burn through 500 stickers easily. The per-unit cost drops dramatically at higher quantities, so ordering your full estimated need upfront is almost always the right call.

Yes — your artwork stays on file in your account. Log in, go to My Account → Orders, click Reorder Design on any past order, adjust quantity if needed, and check out. Ships within 5 business days. Lapel stickers are the most-reordered product for many campaigns. See the campaign reorder guide for the full walkthrough.

Campaign lapel stickers use a pressure-sensitive adhesive that peels cleanly from most fabrics. They are designed to be worn for the duration of an event — a few hours — and removed without damage or residue. For delicate fabrics, supporters can stick the sticker to a lanyard or name tag holder instead.

Custom die-cut shapes are available through the quote form in the store. Submit your design with the desired shape outlined and a specialist will confirm pricing and production timeline. Standard shapes (2.25″ circle, 3″ circle, 2×3″ rectangle) are available for immediate ordering with volume pricing.

Yes — political consultants managing multiple races get a separate account for each campaign with its own order history, artwork files, and compliance-ready records. Each account tracks independently so you can reorder stickers for any race without mixing up materials. See our campaign printing for political consultants page or take the questionnaire to connect with a specialist.

Yes — if your campaign operates across multiple field offices or event staging locations, we can ship to multiple addresses on a single order. Request this through the quote form in the store and note your delivery locations.

Rush production is available for tight deadlines. Fill out the quote form in the store with your quantity, size, and required delivery date — a specialist will confirm turnaround and pricing. For reorders, your artwork is already on file, so the process is even faster.
