Should I choose matte or glossy laminate for my stickers?

Choose glossy for bright colors, extra durability and UV protection outdoors. Choose matte for a soft, glare-free look that keeps text easy to read, mainly for indoor use. Both are available on Vinyl.

Matte vs glossy laminate

Both laminates protect your print. The choice depends on where the sticker will be used and the look you want.

Glossy laminate

Smooth, shiny finish that makes colors look bright and deep
The most durable option, with UV protection
Good for outdoor use and places with a lot of light, for example bumper stickers and motorcycle stickers

Matte laminate

Soft, non-reflective finish that reduces glare
Text and fine details are easy to read from any angle
Resists fingerprints, so the sticker stays clean when handled
Not as durable as glossy and with less UV protection, so it suits indoor use or places with little sunlight, for example laptop stickers

Which one should I choose?

If the sticker will be outside or exposed to a lot of light, choose glossy. If it will be used indoors and you want a refined, glare-free look, choose matte. For more on outdoor use, see weather-resistant stickers.
