Question
How sticky and durable are the stickers and labels?
Answer
Our stickers and labels are pressure-sensitive, which means the adhesive grabs the surface the moment you press them down. No water or heat is needed. How long they stay put and how well they hold up comes down to the face material and adhesive you choose.
- Permanent adhesive forms a strong, lasting bond that resists peeling and is meant to stay in place.
- Removable adhesive holds firmly but lifts cleanly when you want it gone, leaving little to no residue.
- Paper face stocks are ideal for indoor use such as product boxes, packaging inserts and short-term promotions.
- Vinyl and BOPP film face stocks resist water, tearing and fading, which makes them the durable pick for outdoor, refrigerated or high-handling uses.
- A gloss, matte or laminate finish adds extra protection against scuffing, moisture and UV exposure.
| Material | Best for | Durability |
|---|---|---|
| Paper | Indoor packaging, mailers | Light, short-term |
| White vinyl / BOPP | Bottles, outdoor, appliances | Water and tear resistant |
| Laminated film | High-handling, harsh conditions | Longest-lasting |
