Outdoor stickers that stay stuck from the start.

We produce custom outdoor stickers and durable labels for businesses, councils and waste operators across the UK. From bins and drums to machinery and equipment, we choose the material, adhesive and finish to suit the surface and working conditions.

BUILT FOR WORKING LIFE

Durable stickers specified for outdoor exposure, regular handling and cleaning.

MATCHED TO THE SURFACE

Materials and adhesives selected for plastics, metal and other difficult surfaces.

PRODUCED IN HOUSE

Printed, finished and checked at MOBAD, with control over the details.

SUPPLIED ACROSS THE UK

From individual orders to coordinated deliveries across multiple sites.

“The quality is excellent and the stickers have held up well on our bins, even with constant outdoor use. They stay clear, readable and weatherproof over time, which has made a noticeable difference compared to other products we’ve used. We’d happily recommend Mobad.”

STICKERS FOR REAL WORLD USE

Custom stickers for demanding jobs.

A sticker for a recycling bin has a different job to one on an oil drum or a piece of machinery. The surface, cleaning routine, outdoor exposure and expected lifespan all affect what we recommend.

Tell us how yours will be used. We’ll help you choose a suitable specification, with samples for testing where the application calls for it.

Outdoor Stickers & Labels

Custom printed stickers for waste and recycling bins, containers, equipment and outdoor displays. We select the material and finish to suit the expected lifespan, weather exposure, handling and cleaning.

Stickers for Hard-to-Stick Surfaces

Standard stickers can struggle on plastics such as HDPE and polypropylene. We help specify adhesives for these surfaces, as well as powder-coated metal and textured finishes, taking account of preparation and working conditions.

Not sure which sticker material you need?

Tell us what the stickers will go on, how they’ll be used and how long they need to last. We’ll help you choose.

QR Codes, Numbered Labels & Asset Tags

Custom labels with sequential numbers, barcodes or QR codes for identifying and tracking bins, containers and equipment. We produce variable data labels in-house, with materials selected for their working conditions.

Real World Testing (Almost!)

We’ve left the same sticker outside, frozen it, jet washed it and driven over it. StickerWatch follows what happens. It started as team fun, but makes a practical point: stickers that last longer need replacing less often.

Quality Controlled

Our quality management system controls artwork versions, material specifications and production checks. Retained job details help us keep repeat orders consistent as your requirements grow or change.

THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR THE RIGHT CONDITIONS.

The right sticker starts with the surface.

Tell us what it needs to stick to, what it will be exposed to and how long it needs to last. We’ll use that information to recommend the material, adhesive and finish.

LONG LASTING

For labels that need to remain readable and securely attached through prolonged outdoor exposure and daily use.

SHORT TERM

For campaigns, temporary notices and time-limited applications, with removable adhesive options where suitable.

PVC FREE

Alternatives to PVC, selected to suit the surface, working conditions and required lifespan.

HDPE PLASTICS

Specialist adhesive options for bins, tanks and drums made from HDPE, where standard stickers can struggle.

CHEMICAL RESISTANT

Materials and finishes selected for exposure to specified oils, fuels or cleaning products, with testing where needed.

LOW SURFACE ENERGY

Adhesive options for low-surface-energy plastics, including polypropylene, selected for the application.

​

MARINE USE

Labels specified for exposure to moisture, salt spray, sunlight and outdoor working conditions.

​

EXTREME TEMPERATURES

Materials selected for the temperatures involved during application and throughout the label’s working life.
