Which Stickers and Labels Should You Use on Your Parcels in Singapore? (2026)

Key Takeaways

• A fragile sticker will not stop a box from being dropped, but it tells every courier hand to slow down. Pair it with good cushioning and a sturdy carton for the best result.
• A tamper evident sticker such as a VOID security seal shows clearly if a parcel has been opened, which builds buyer trust and helps with disputes.
• A thank you sticker is the cheapest branding upgrade for a small seller, and it works on boxes, mailers, paper bags and gift wrap.
• Match the label to the job: thermal labels for courier waybills, waterproof labels for damp conditions, and small printed stickers for branding and sealing. 

Every seller in Singapore knows the feeling of packing a beautiful order and then wondering what to stick on the outside. Do you need a fragile sticker? Is a plain address label enough? Should you seal the flap with something that shows if the parcel has been opened? The right packing label does more than look neat. It guides couriers, protects your reputation and tells your customer that you care. 

In this guide, we walk through the main types of sticker label Singapore sellers use every day, from fragile labels and tamper evident stickers to thank you stickers and thermal shipping labels. We explain what each one does, who it suits and how to choose, so you can pick the right label sticker for each parcel without overspending.

 

How Should You Compare Packing Labels and Stickers in Singapore?

Start with the job the label has to do. Some labels warn (fragile and handle with care), some protect (VOID and tamper seals), some instruct (courier waybills and barcodes) and some simply delight (thank you stickers and branded rounds). Then check the surface, because label stock needs to stick well to cardboard, plastic, glass or paper. Finally, think about the environment and the volume. A parcel that may get damp needs a waterproof label, and a seller shipping dozens of orders a day needs labels that work smoothly with a printer. Use the factors below to compare each option.

 

8 Types of Stickers and Labels for Parcels in Singapore (2026)

Here is a full breakdown of each type, with details on what it is best suited for.

 

1. Fragile "Handle With Care" Stickers

The classic fragile sticker is the first label most sellers reach for when shipping glassware, ceramics, candles, skincare bottles, electronics or baked goods. A bold, high-contrast fragile label on the top and sides of a box helps courier staff and sorting teams spot delicate parcels quickly. It is a signal, not a force field, so we always suggest pairing it with proper bubble wrap and a sturdy box. Put one on the top and one on each side so it stays visible whichever way the parcel is stacked.

 

2. VOID Tamper-Evident Security Seal Stickers

A tamper evident sticker is designed so that anyone who tries to open the parcel and reseal it leaves clear visible evidence behind. MillionParcel stocks a VOID tamper-evident security seal sticker tape, which is also used as an anti-counterfeit measure. It is a smart choice if you ship high-value items such as phones, jewellery, supplements or limited edition products, or if you want a simple answer to the question of how to stop parcels being tampered with. Run the seal across the flap edges of a well-taped carton box so it cannot be lifted without showing signs.

 

3. Thank-You Sticker Rolls

A thank you sticker is the friendliest label in your toolkit. A simple sticker on the box flap, mailer, paper bag or gift wrap turns a plain parcel into a small moment of delight. MillionParcel stocks thank-you sticker rolls in quantities from 100 to 500 pieces, in both kraft and white, so they suit everything from a home bakery to a growing online boutique. They are also a low-cost way to make your packaging look branded before you invest in custom printing. They look especially lovely on a gift paper bag or a gift box.

 

4. Thermal Shipping Label Paper (100x150mm)

If you print courier waybills, thermal labels are the neat, fast way to do it. Thermal label paper works with direct thermal printers, which need no ink or toner, and the standard size is 100x150mm, the format used by couriers such as Ninja Van, Qxpress, J&T Express, SF Express and Aramex. MillionParcel stocks thermal printer label paper in rectangular and circular shapes, plus big thermal label rolls for custom, branded or barcode labels. Pair them with the SoonMark thermal label printer for a smooth fulfilment setup. These labels also work with 1D and 2D barcode scanners.

 

5. Waterproof Tear-Proof White Paper Stickers

Not every parcel stays dry. Chilled items, outdoor deliveries and rainy afternoons all test a normal paper label. Waterproof and tear-proof white paper stickers hold up better to splashes and rough handling, which makes them handy for product labels, address labels and storage labels. MillionParcel's waterproof tear-proof white paper stickers are compatible with Nelko P21 and Polono P31S printers, so they suit sellers with compact label printers. As with any label, press them down firmly on a clean, dry surface.

 

6. Round Printed and Holographic Stickers

Small round stickers are the workhorse of branding. They seal tissue paper, close the flap of a box, hold a ribbon in place or simply add colour. MillionParcel stocks round printed stickers in several colours and holographic ribbon labels that catch the light and make a parcel look premium. If you sell skincare, accessories or gifts, a bit of shimmer on the outside can set the right first impression. Use them alongside a gift box for a polished unboxing.

 

7. Handmade Product Labels and Holiday Stickers

If you make what you sell, a label that says so adds charm and a sense of care. Handmade product labels suit jars, candles, baked goods and craft items. For festive seasons, MillionParcel also stocks holiday stickers for Chinese New Year and Christmas, which are perfect for seasonal orders, hampers and gift sets. Both types let you add personality without a custom print run, and they work nicely on a carton box or a kraft mailer.

 

8. Packing List Envelopes and Label Holders

Sometimes the best label is the one that stays protected. Packing list envelopes are adhesive pouches that hold your invoice, consignment note or delivery order on the outside of the parcel, so the paperwork stays visible and clean. For heavier label use, fan-fold and roll label holders keep your thermal labels neat and feeding smoothly at the packing station. They are small additions that make busy fulfilment days calmer. They go well with mailing bags, self-adhesive OPP bags and cartons that ship out regularly.

 

How to Choose the Right Packing Stickers and Labels for Your Business?

Start with what you ship, how it travels and how you want your customers to feel when they open it. Use these quick scenarios as a guide.

• Shipping glassware, candles or skincare: Use a bold fragile sticker on the top and sides, combined with good cushioning and a sturdy carton.
• Sending high-value or resale items: Add a VOID tamper evident sticker across the flap so any opening is easy to spot, and photograph the sealed parcel before it leaves.
• Running a small online shop with daily orders: Use 100x150mm thermal labels with a direct thermal printer so you never buy ink, and add a thank you sticker for a personal finish.
• Delivering in wet or chilled conditions: Choose waterproof tear-proof labels so your address and barcode stay readable.
• Selling gifts, bakes or seasonal goods: Pick round printed, holographic or holiday stickers to seal wrapping and make the parcel look special.

 

Conclusion

The best packing label is the one that does its job quietly. A fragile sticker alerts handlers, a tamper evident sticker builds trust, a thermal label keeps your fulfilment fast and a thank you sticker makes customers smile. You do not need all of them on day one. Start with the two or three that match your products and add more as your orders grow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What stickers should I put on fragile parcels in Singapore?

Use a clear, high-contrast fragile or "handle with care" sticker on the top and on at least two sides of the box, so it stays visible however the parcel is stacked. A fragile sticker is a signal to couriers and not a guarantee of gentle handling, so also cushion the contents well and use a sturdy carton. For valuable items, add a VOID tamper-evident seal as well. MillionParcel stocks both with no minimum order.

How do I stop parcels being tampered with?

Seal the box properly with strong tape, then add a tamper evident sticker such as a VOID security seal across the flap edges. If someone tries to open and reseal the parcel, the seal shows clear signs of interference, which helps you and your buyer spot a problem straight away. It also helps to photograph the sealed parcel before handing it to the courier. MillionParcel stocks a VOID tamper-evident security seal sticker tape for this purpose.

Where can I buy sticker labels in Singapore?

You can buy sticker labels in Singapore from MillionParcel, which carries fragile labels, thank you stickers, thermal label paper, round printed stickers, holiday stickers and VOID security seals with no minimum order and fast local delivery. Other options include local print shops, office supply stores and online marketplaces, though ready stock and roll sizes vary.

What size label sticker should I use for shipping?

For courier waybills, the standard shipping label size is 100x150mm, which is the format used by couriers such as Ninja Van, Qxpress, J&T Express, SF Express and Aramex. For branding, small round stickers are popular for sealing flaps and tissue paper. Check your courier's requirements first, then choose a label that fits your printer and your box size.

Do I need a special label for parcels that might get wet?

A waterproof, tear-proof label is a sensible choice if your parcels travel in humid weather, rain or chilled conditions, because normal paper labels can smudge or tear. Apply the label to a clean, dry surface and press it down firmly. MillionParcel's waterproof tear-proof white paper stickers are compatible with Nelko P21 and Polono P31S printers.
