A custom Snapchat sticker is a real vinyl decal printed from a Snapchat visual (Bitmoji, a snap screenshot, or a streak to celebrate). Unlike the stickers built into the app, these are physical: they can go on a phone case, a laptop, or a water bottle, and they last for years.
What is a custom Snapchat sticker?
On Snapchat, the word "sticker" primarily refers to the virtual stickers offered in the app to decorate a story or a conversation. They remain digital, free, and disappear along with the snap.
The meaning we are interested in here is different. A custom sticker inspired by Snapchat is a custom sticker born from real content—a Bitmoji, a screenshot, or a streak to celebrate—rather than a generic catalog image. Depending on the starting point, this sticker becomes a custom sticker with a logo (the Bitmoji avatar acts as a visual signature) or a custom sticker with a photo (a memorable screenshot). The end result fits in your hand and doesn't disappear after 24 hours, unlike a classic snap.
How does customizing a Snap sticker work?
Creating a custom Snap sticker follows the same process as a classic bespoke sticker. At StickerGreen, the order consists of four steps:
- You choose the format (die-cut, round, rectangular, or transparent).
- You upload your visual: a screenshot, Bitmoji export, or a photo taken from the app.
- A free, manual file check takes place, with a proof sent by email if the online preview isn't satisfactory.
- Production begins: printing a custom sticker at StickerGreen takes an average of 2 business days, free delivery included.
Each custom sticker therefore undergoes a review before printing, which prevents any surprises upon receipt. Ordering a custom sticker online requires no design software: a single piece is enough to test the result, with no minimum quantity imposed.
Why is this format so popular right now?
Snapchat remains a heavyweight among young people in France. According to Blog du Modérateur (March 2026 update), the application gathers nearly 30 million users in the country, making it the platform's 4th largest market worldwide. Among 15-24 year-olds, coverage climbs to 91%, compared to 64% among 25-40 year-olds.
This generation loves turning digital content into physical objects. A 500-day streak, a spot-on Bitmoji, or a screenshot of a hilarious moment with friends: this type of memory deserves more than a like. The affordable custom sticker, starting at €0.80 per unit, makes this transformation accessible without a significant budget. And with no minimum order, a single copy is enough for a birthday gift or phone case decoration.
Which format should you choose based on your Snapchat visual?
| Format | Ideal for | Finish |
|---|---|---|
| Die-cut | Bitmoji, character, illustration | Follows the exact contour, no white border |
| Rectangular | Screenshot, text, Snapchat handle | Clear reading, classic format |
| Round | Streak, logo, seal for a water bottle | Clean and symmetrical look |
| Transparent | Visuals you want to blend into the surface | No visible white background |
| Sticker sheet | Several snaps or Bitmojis at once | Multiple designs on a single sheet |
A Bitmoji with irregular contours works better with die-cut. A screenshot with legible text keeps all its sharpness in rectangular. If you are hesitating between several favorite snaps, the sheet avoids the need to place multiple orders.
When to choose a custom Snapchat sticker over another format?
This format makes sense in a few specific cases. To mark an important streak between friends, a custom sticker becomes a tangible souvenir rather than a number stuck in an app. For a low-budget birthday gift, a bespoke sticker with the recipient's Bitmoji often costs less than a traditional gift. To quickly personalize a laptop before the start of the school year, single-unit ordering avoids having to wait for a pack or meeting a required quantity.
Conversely, if you are looking for advertising material for a brand or an event, a classic corporate logo remains more relevant than a Snapchat visual.
Where to stick your custom Snapchat stickers?
Smooth and rigid surfaces give the best results. The back of a phone case remains the number one surface for this type of sticker, closely followed by laptops. A water bottle, a bike helmet, or a bedroom wall work just as well, and the water-based adhesive holds firm without leaving any residue upon removal.
FAQs
Can you turn a simple Snapchat screenshot into a sticker?
Yes, provided the image is sharp enough. The rectangular or die-cut formats are well-suited to a screenshot, and our team checks the file for free before printing.
Which format should I choose to print a Bitmoji?
Die-cut remains the most logical choice: it follows the contour of the character without leaving a visible white border around the avatar.
Is a custom Snapchat sticker water and sun resistant?
Yes. The recycled rPET vinyl used for every custom vinyl sticker also makes it a custom waterproof sticker: it lasts for 7 years outdoors and is UV and scratch resistant thanks to a water-based adhesive.
Do I need to order a large quantity to get a good price?
No. The price starts at €0.80 per unit with no minimum order, and then decreases with quantity, down to €0.02 per piece for 5,000 units for creators who want to distribute more.
Can I customize a sticker without knowing how to use design software?
Yes. Uploading the file is enough, whether it's a screenshot or a Bitmoji export, and our team checks the quality before starting production. At StickerGreen, custom sticker printing is always done after the customer's approval.
