Share 5 Types of Stickers Commonly Used for Printing Product Labels! 

Paper stickers come in various types, and it is essential to understand them thoroughly because different materials and textures directly impact their intended use. Today, we will discuss the differences in surface type and materials, including all 5 types of popular stickers. This knowledge will help you make an informed decision before starting your order at a sticker shop, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your needs.

What are Matte Stickers?

Matte Stickers are a type of paper sticker with a smooth, non-glossy surface. They do not reflect light and are commonly used for product labels. Their durability depends on the type of sticker material used. While matte stickers are more cost-effective than glossy ones, they do not provide the same level of protection against wear and tear.

What are Glossy Stickers?

Glossy stickers have a distinctive feature: a shiny surface that adds visual appeal and draws attention to the printed design. They are also water-resistant, which helps prevent smudging and the peeling of text or designs. However, glossy stickers tend to be more expensive than matte ones due to their enhanced properties.

5 Types of  Sticker You Should Know About Before Printing Product Labels

• Paper Sticker

Paper stickers are the most basic type of stickers available with options of either matte or glossy finishes. These stickers are suitable for beginners looking to save costs and for labeling products that are not exposed to water or moisture, such as barcode stickers, expiration date labels, or general product box stickers.

• PP Stickers (Polypropylene) 

This is the top choice among sticker categories due to their widespread popularity. They are favored for their cost-effectiveness and durable properties. They offer 100% water resistance and can withstand temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Celcius. They come in both transparent and white glossy options, making them suitable for various applications, including cosmetics, skincare products, scent candles, and everyday consumer goods. For small-scale businesses and budget-conscious entrepreneurs, PP stickers are the ideal choice.

• Hologram Stickers

Hologram stickers have a distinct 3D appearance and are printed using laser light. They are known for adding an additional layer of trust and security to products, especially high-tech and beauty items. Hologram stickers are tamper-evident, leaving visible traces when removed, akin to a seal or a stamp.

• Vinyl Stickers

Vinyl stickers, made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), come in two main types: rigid PVC and flexible PVC. Rigid PVC stickers are strong and resilient, while flexible PVC stickers are soft and pliable due to a higher plasticizer content. Both types are designed for various applications, including outdoor and indoor use, and are commonly used for labeling and signage.

• Die-Cut Stickers

Die-cut stickers are printed before being cut into specific shapes for convenient use. They are available in various cutting techniques, including kiss-cut, and die-cut. This sticker type is highly popular for creating product labels and location-based stickers.
