Question
What paper stocks can I choose for stickers?
Answer
Sticker material sets the feel, the durability, and where the sticker can safely live. The right pick depends on whether it will face water, sunlight, or just an indoor shelf.
| Material | Feel | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Vinyl (gloss or matte) | Durable, waterproof | Outdoor use, water bottles, cars |
| Glossy paper | Smooth, vivid color | Indoor product labels and packaging |
| Matte paper | Soft, low glare | Minimalist branding, writable surfaces |
| Holographic | Rainbow shift | Eye-catching promos and retail |
| Glitter | Sparkle texture | Kids, craft, and boutique branding |
As a rule, choose vinyl anywhere moisture or sun is a factor and paper stocks for indoor-only use where a softer, natural finish is fine.
