Stickers are a great way to convey messages in a creative and engaging way. There are several different types of stickers, each with its own benefits. The most commonly used types are paper stickers, vinyl stickers, decals and labels.
Paper stickers are ideal for use on paper surfaces such as books, notepads or greeting cards. They are usually inexpensive and easy to print. However, they are not particularly resistant to water or abrasion, so you may want to use them indoors where they are protected from the elements.
Vinyl stickers, on the other hand, are more durable and resistant to weather conditions and wear and tear. They are great for outdoor use on products like cars, bikes, or windows. Their durability makes them a great choice if you want your stickers to last and withstand the elements.

Direct differences between paper and vinyl stickers can be seen in the print. On a simple paper surface, the colors are not as rich as on a glossy vinyl surface. The ink from the printer is absorbed better on paper. We use premium matt paper for our stickers in the shop; the surface is softer than normal paper, which is always a bit rough, but not smooth and glossy like vinyl. Nevertheless, the colors of the print shine vividly.
Our Premium Matt paper can also withstand some splashes of water, but we clearly sell it as non-waterproof.
Stickers are a popular choice for promotional purposes. They can be applied to almost any surface and offer high visibility and impact. Depending on the sealing/finishing, you can use them on packaging, bottles, laptops or even clothing. They are versatile and can spread your message effectively.
Labels are perfect for organizing items like office supplies, groceries, or medications. You can customize them and they help you keep things organized. Labels allow you to easily identify and sort your things, making everyday life easier.
When using stickers, it is important to ensure that they are applied properly. Make sure the surface is clean and dry so that the sticker adheres well. Remove any dust or dirt to ensure a smooth surface. Make sure the sticker is applied without air bubbles for a clean and professional look.
With these tips, you can be sure that your messages and designs will look and work well in the long run. Use the different types of stickers to express your creativity and convey your messages in a unique way. Have fun on your sticker adventure!
