Vinyl
The original material
Our best-selling classic sticker material.
How durable are the stickers, and do they fade over time?
Our laminated stickers are water-, weather- and UV-resistant. With glossy laminate they last 2 to 4 years outdoors before they start to fade, and longer indoors. See weather-resistant stickers.
Sticker durability and fading
Our stickers are water-, weather- and UV-resistant thanks to a protective laminate over the print. The laminate shields the colors and the material from sun, rain and wear.
How long before they fade
-
Outdoors: usually 2 to 4 years with glossy laminate before you see fading, depending on exposure.
-
Indoors: longer.
Matte laminate gives slightly less UV protection, so matte stickers fade sooner in constant direct sun. Kraft paper has no laminate and is for indoor use only.
Materials made to last
Materials such as vinyl, holographic and brushed aluminum handle sunlight, rain and temperature changes over time. For the toughest conditions, see Heavy Duty Stickers.
Getting the most out of them
Apply stickers to clean, dry surfaces, and avoid places with a lot of rubbing or mechanical wear.
