Materials & Finishes FAQ
Our custom stickers are printed on premium white vinyl with a permanent adhesive. They're waterproof, scratch-resistant, UV-resistant, and laminated in glossy by default, or matte if you prefer.
Are your stickers waterproof?
Yes. Our vinyl stickers are waterproof, so rain, spills, and condensation won't ruin them. That makes them a good fit for water bottles, tumblers, coolers, laptops, and packaging.
What material are your stickers made of?
Premium white vinyl with a permanent adhesive. With the standard lamination, a sticker is about 0.30 mm thick. Vinyl is flexible, durable, and holds color well, which is why it's the standard for custom stickers that need to last.
Are your stickers dishwasher safe?
Yes. We've run our vinyl stickers through the dishwasher daily for over a month, and customers tell us theirs still look good after 2 months.
Will stickers stay on curved surfaces like water bottles and tumblers?
Yes. They stick well to curved surfaces. For the best hold, apply to a clean, dry surface and press firmly from the center out to remove air bubbles.
Can I use your stickers outdoors or on my car?
Yes. They're waterproof, UV-resistant, and made for outdoor use, including cars, bikes, and outdoor gear.
How long do vinyl stickers last? Will they fade?
Our stickers are UV-resistant, and the lamination adds a layer of protection against scratches and sun. Like any printed product, how long they last depends on how much direct sun and wear they get.
Are your stickers laminated?
Yes, by default. Every sticker gets a glossy laminate unless you choose otherwise. You can pick matte, or choose no lamination if you prefer. The laminate helps protect against scratches and fading.
Matte or glossy: which finish should I choose?
Glossy makes colors look bright and rich and is our default. Matte has a soft, non-reflective look that's easy to read under bright light and feels premium on packaging. Both cost the same.
Is matte the same price as glossy?
Yes. Matte and glossy cost the same on every deal. Just choose your finish when you order.
Do glossy stickers make colors look brighter?
Usually, yes. A glossy surface reflects light, so colors look more vivid and saturated. Matte diffuses light, so the same colors look a bit softer. Neither changes your design, only how it reads in the light.
Do you make clear (transparent) stickers?
Yes. We print on clear vinyl as well as white. Clear stickers let the surface underneath show through, which works well on glass, bottles, and windows. Mention it when you order, or ask us which material suits your design.
What are holographic stickers?
Holographic stickers are printed on a rainbow-foil vinyl that shimmers and shifts color as light hits it. They're waterproof and scratch-resistant like our standard vinyl. See holographic stickers.
Should I choose holographic or regular vinyl?
Choose holographic when you want a sticker that grabs attention, like merch, giveaways, or a bold logo. Choose standard white vinyl when you need the most accurate colors and easy reading, like product labels and packaging.
Why are my stickers hard to peel off the backing?
It rarely happens, but here's what helps: bend the sticker slightly at a rounded corner to lift the edge, then peel. Kiss-cut stickers, which stay on a larger backing, are also easier to peel. If you're still having trouble, email us and we'll help.
