Choosing the right stickers: your guide to the different types of adhesive
Gone are the days when stickers were merely simple, one-size-fits-all decorations. In today's digital age, creating custom printed stickers is easier than ever, offering you complete control over the design, material, and finishing touches of your creations.
One critical element you have the power to choose is the right type of adhesive that secures your stickers to various surfaces. After all, you want just the right amount of stick — whether that’s a permanent decoration or an easy-to-remove label. But where to start? Don't fret; we're here to simplify it for you.
1. Permanent adhesive
Permanent adhesive, as the name suggests, ensures that your sticker sticks firmly and permanently to its designated surface. This type of adhesive is ideal for situations where you have absolute confidence that your printed paper sticker will never need removal.
Consider using permanent adhesive for applications like product packaging, glass jars, or food labels, where long-lasting adhesion is essential. At StickerShop, we understand how important that your stickers stay in place, especially when it’s an extension of your business branding.
2. Extra permanent adhesive
For those seeking unparalleled durability in their stickers, extra-permanent adhesive is the ultimate choice. Our extra-permanent adhesive option is available for all our waterproof vinyl stickers.
These stickers can withstand a range of challenges, including exposure to outdoor weather, refrigeration, and regular cleaning products. With extra-permanent adhesive, you can rest assured that your stickers will remain securely in place once you apply them, no matter the circumstances. Come rain or shine, you can put your faith in our extra-permanent adhesive stickers that are sure to stand the test of time.
3. Removable adhesive
Not all stickers are meant to stay in one place indefinitely. If you anticipate the need to change or relocate your stickers without leaving any residue or damage behind, our removable adhesive is the perfect solution.
Removable adhesive stickers make it easy to swap and rearrange your stickers as often as you desire. Consider die-cut vinyl stickers for vibrant and attention-grabbing designs that can be easily moved to suit your changing preferences. When it comes to label adhesive and adhesive stickers, removable options offer flexibility without compromising quality.
There’s nothing worse than having a sticker leave behind residue, or nasty marks - especially if you only need your stickers as a short-term solution. That’s where our removable adhesive is really handy, and will give you the peace of mind you need during your sticker application process.
4. Static cling adhesive
Static cling stickers introduce a unique adhesive solution that doesn't rely on traditional adhesives. Instead, they adhere through a static charge, making them perfect for specific applications.
These stickers are primarily designed for use as window stickers and have the advantage of leaving absolutely no marks or residue behind. Whether you're promoting your business or adding decorative flair to your storefront, static cling stickers offer a clean and hassle-free solution.
These static cling stickers are guaranteed to leave no trace — they’re a great, seamless solution for a variety of purposes.
