Stickers are a type of printed products that are popular among all age groups, which means that they are in great demand in the market. At the same time, stickers can perform different functions.

For decorating laptops, phones, tablets, notebooks, diaries and notebooks.

And also as an informational part of the product, a barcode and the price of the product are printed on it.

Stickers also differ in the material of the base. When ordering the printing of stickers, many customers do not always understand what the difference is, and most importantly, what are the advantages of one or another type of product.

Visually, stickers on film and paper look similar, what is their functional difference?

Advantages of film stickers

The self-adhesive film has the following advantages:

  • no traces when peeling off. At the same time, they hold firmly and only with due effort (for example, when the buyer peels off a sticker with a barcode and price from a new purchase) begin to separate, leaving a clean and smooth surface;
  • waterproof Conditions of storage and delivery of goods are different. Imagine if the courier needs to deliver the product in bad weather, and even a short interval between taking it out of the car and indoors can affect the appearance of the sticker. Paper products peel off quickly under the influence of water and can deform under high humidity. Stickers on the film retain their shape and look like new;
  • UV resistant. The paper quickly fades under the influence of sunlight, and the stickers on the film remain bright;
  • resistance to mechanical impact. Images on paper stickers quickly fade. If you order stickers for notebooks or on the cover of diaries, it is better to choose a film version.

If higher specifications are paramount for the decals you want, then we recommend that you order them printing stickers on film.

Paper vs. Vinyl Film Stickers: How to Choose the Right Material

When should you choose to print stickers on paper?

If, after reading the advantages of film stickers, you think that ordering paper ones is illogical in principle, then we hasten to justify them. They also have their advantages and are also in great demand among customers:

  • cost. Considering the cost of the material and the printing method, printing of stickers on paper is a very profitable option for advertising printing. Film stickers are more expensive;
  • the possibility of choosing a matte or glossy surface. This is especially important if you order the printing of decorative stickers, for example, to include a gift sticker as an addition to your purchase. By the way, this is a very profitable option for communication with customers, and not only with the youngest. Everyone loves stickers!;
  • paper stickers give a huge variety of base choices - bright, colored, matte, glossy, neon.

    Separately, it is worth mentioning the stickers on kraft paper: brown (brown) and wine (white). Kraft paper is a recycled paper valued for its environmental characteristics and tactile surface. Light roughness and characteristic shades of paper are perfect for creating aesthetic and attractive stickers-labels, which is especially relevant for use in companies specializing in the sale of eco-products.
