The short answer
You don’t need a whole new menu every time prices move. Make the new prices as stickers, print them on a full sheet of label paper, cut them out and cover the old numbers:
- Open the editor, tap Design without an image, choose inch and pick Letter (8.5×11 in).
- Type each new price as its own text block and give it an outline so it reads from across the counter.
- Export a PNG or JPG for your home printer (or a print-ready PDF for a print shop).
- Print on full-sheet sticker paper, cut each price out, and stick it over the old one.

Why prices are changing so often
Restaurant prices have kept climbing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the food away from home index rose 3.5 percent over the 12 months ending September 2026 (BLS, CPI September 2026). For a small café or food truck that means updating the menu more than once a year — and reprinting laminated menus, table tents and window signs each time adds up.
Stickers let you update just the numbers that changed.
Stickers or a reprint?
| Situation | Better choice |
|---|---|
| A few items changed | Price stickers over the old numbers |
| Most prices changed | Reprint the menu |
| You’re also changing the layout or items | Reprint the menu |
| Chalkboard or menu board with a printed price strip | New price strip on sticker paper |
Stickers look best when they match the size and position of the old price, so measure one price area with a ruler first.
Making the price stickers, step by step
1. Set up a Letter page
In the editor, tap Design without an image, switch the unit to inch, and choose Letter. Full-sheet sticker paper is usually Letter size, so what you see is what prints.
If you’d rather work one label at a time, choose Custom and enter the label’s width and height in inches instead.
2. Type each price
Add one text block per price — $12.50, $9, and so on — and space them out across the page with room to cut between them. A few tips:
- Use the same font and color as the menu if you can, so the sticker doesn’t stand out.
- Add a white or dark outline if the sticker goes over a photo or colored background. See how to add a white border around text.
- Leave a gap of at least a quarter inch between prices so you can cut cleanly.
If you’d like a ready-made look, pick a style in Select Pop, type your price, and tap Customize more to open it in the editor.
3. Export
- Home printer: PNG or JPG.
- Print shop: PDF in print colors (CMYK) with bleed and crop marks.
4. Print and cut
Print a test on plain paper and hold it against the menu to check the size. Then print on sticker paper and cut each price out with scissors or a paper trimmer. There are no cut lines for a machine here — trimming by hand is the plan.
Keep the file for next time
The file you export is your editable file. Load the PDF, PNG, JPG or SVG back into DecoTecoPop and it opens ready to edit. Next time prices change:
- Load last time’s sticker sheet.
- Retype the numbers.
- Export and print.
The same trick works for the whole menu: if you made it here, reopen it and change only the prices that moved. For a full menu built on an AI background, see how to print a ChatGPT image and add your own prices.
Frequently asked questions
Q. Can I just put stickers over old prices on my menu?
Yes. Match the sticker to the old price area and cover the numbers neatly. If most prices changed, reprint instead.
Q. What paper do I use for price stickers at home?
Full-sheet sticker or label paper in Letter size. Check whether it’s made for inkjet or laser, and print a plain-paper test first.
Q. Does this make die-cut labels?
No. Print the prices on a full sheet and cut them out by hand.
Q. How do I update the prices again later?
Load the exported file back in, retype the numbers and export again.
