Rising raw material costs are hitting everything from stickers to foil

Vinyl prices are up nearly 6% in 2026, while materials like PVC and resin have also gone up as oil derivatives have increased.

Rising raw material costs are impacting various products, from stickers to foil, as manufacturers struggle to maintain profitability. Specifically, vinyl and resin prices have increased significantly due to the rise in oil prices following the war in Iran. Sticker You, an Ontario-based company founded in 2008, specializes in making custom stickers with no minimum order quantities.

However, the company has faced challenges as the price of vinyl, one of its primary materials, has risen nearly 6% in 2026, continuing a trend of increasing costs over the past few years.
