Comparison of Sticker and Label Materials

Choosing the best sticker for your needs can be overwhelming if you don’t know where to start. We’ve taken the guesswork out of the process for you by listing the details of each material so you can make an informed decision. If you’re still not sure, you can order one of our sample packs to see and feel the options and try them out!

Paper and Synthetic Materials

Our Paper and Synthetic materials are printed on our HP Indigo 6k printer which provides excellent detail and is perfect for stickers with fine details and small text. Where possible we recommend choosing a paper or synthetic material due to the lower prices available and variety of choice in how they are supplied.

Vinyl Materials

Our Vinyl materials are printed on our HP Latex printers which are large format printers designed for larger stickers and decals. The Vinyl materials are ideal if you need a durable sticker for outdoor use because they are UV and water resistant with a longer lifespan.

Vinyls with a grey back assist in providing a block out for colours/images underneath the sticker and can be used to cover old stickers.

The Bubble Free Vinyls have air release channels that allow you to push any bubbles to the edge of the sticker for a seamless and easy installation; it is recommended to use this material if you are ordering a large format sticker.
