When paper fits
Paper stickers suit indoor jobs such as packaging seals, retail bags, inserts and handwritten labels. Uncoated paper takes pen and stamp ink well. Kraft gives a natural look. Coated paper is the lower-cost option at most sizes.
When vinyl fits
Vinyl suits handouts, merchandise and surfaces where the sticker needs a film rather than paper. Tell us about moisture, sun or outdoor use, because performance is confirmed for the exact construction rather than assumed.
What to check before ordering.
- Describe the surface and whether it is indoors.
- Say whether people will write on the sticker.
- Compare the same size in the table.
- Ask for an application sample when performance matters.
