How to search bricklink for stickered parts in set

1. Understand BrickLink’s distinction: decorated vs. plain parts

BrickLink treats “decorated” parts (which include printed and stickered parts) differently from plain element entries; Studio exposes a specific toggle to show or hide decorated parts in the Building Palette, meaning stickered items are tracked as a separate display layer rather than as ordinary color/part inventory (Studio’s Building Palette includes a Decorated Parts toggle to show/hide printed and stickered parts) ^{[2] [1]}.

2. Quick method — use Studio’s decorated-parts toggle while building

If you work from Studio, open the Building Palette and use the decorated parts toggle to reveal stickered and printed variants in the part list; the palette search box still filters by BrickLink ID or keywords, and decorated parts will appear only when that toggle is enabled (Studio’s Building Palette notes the decorated parts toggle and the search/filter behavior) ^{[1] [2]}.

3. Import the LEGO set into Studio to surface stickered counterparts

Importing a physical set into Studio will include “counterparts” for stickered parts and assemblies: Studio imports counterparts for stickered parts and also imports composing parts of assemblies, which can change quantities shown in the palette. That means when you import a set number into the Studio viewport, stickered elements should appear as counterparts in the imported palette ^[3]. Note that this import behavior can also inflate or change counts because Studio imports both sticker counterparts and the underlying pieces used by assemblies ^[3].

4. Use the catalog categories for a direct catalog search

BrickLink’s reference catalog has dedicated categories you can browse for stickered items: there is a “Stickered Assembly” category and a “Sticker Sheet” category in the Parts catalog. Browsing or filtering within those catalog categories is the direct BrickLink-catalog way to find sticker/label items rather than relying solely on Studio (see the Stickered Assembly and Sticker Sheet category pages in the BrickLink catalog) ^{[4] [5] [6]}.

5. Combining approaches when searching by set

Because the official docs emphasize Studio’s import creates counterparts for stickered parts, the practical workflow to find stickered parts used in a particular set is: import the set into Studio (entering the correct set number and extension), enable decorated parts in the Building Palette, then inspect the imported palette or steplist for the stickered counterparts. This is exactly what BrickLink advises: import a set to see counterparts for stickered parts ^{[3] [2]}.

6. Caveats and limits you should expect

Studio’s import can produce “unknown parts” for bricks it can’t match, and it may alter palette counts because it brings in both sticker counterparts and assembly components; Studio also allows hiding parts unavailable in a selected color which affects visible results. The documentation explicitly warns that importing counterparts for stickered parts and composing parts of assemblies can change quantities, so don’t expect a perfect one-to-one parts list solely for stickers without manual verification ^{[3] [2] [1]}.

7. If you need a pure catalog view or to purchase stickers

For purchasing or seeing sticker sheets and stickered assemblies as catalog items (rather than Studio counterparts), browse the Parts catalog categories “Sticker Sheet” and “Stickered Assembly” directly on BrickLink; those category listings are where sellers list sticker sheets and assemblies as discrete catalog items ^{[5] [4] [6]}.

8. Practical step-by-step (concise)

• In Studio: import your set via the Import dialog using the exact set number (with extension if needed) ^[3].
• Open the Building Palette, enable the Decorated Parts toggle so printed and stickered parts are shown ^{[1] [2]}.
• Use the palette search box or steplist search to filter parts by BrickLink ID or keywords and inspect counterparts flagged as stickered ^{[2] [7]}.
• For direct catalog items, browse the Sticker Sheet and Stickered Assembly categories on BrickLink ^{[5] [4]}.

Limitations: available sources focus on Studio’s tools and the catalog categories and do not describe a single “search set for stickered parts” site-wide button outside those methods; they also warn Studio’s import and decorated-part handling can change counts and import extra components ^{[3] [2]}.
