# What are the stickers/labels made of?

Stickers and labels are built from a printed face material bonded to an adhesive and mounted on a peel-away liner. The face stock you pick is what determines the look, feel and durability of the finished piece. Paper face stock : economical and great for indoor packaging, boxes and short-term use. Vinyl and BOPP film : plastic-based, water resistant and durable, ideal for bottles, outdoor and high-handling applications. Adhesive layer : a pressure-sensitive glue (permanent or removable) that bonds when pressed. Release liner : the backing sheet you peel off before applying. Finishes such as gloss, matte or laminate can be added on top of the face stock for extra shine and protection.

Each sticker is a printed face stock, paper or vinyl and BOPP film, on a permanent or removable adhesive and a peel-away release liner backing.
