Our vinyls stickers can be over laminated with either a gloss or a matt laminate as required. The lamination provides an extra layer of protection to the inks.

No there is no standard sizes as we can custom print vinyl stickers at sizes to suit your design requirements. We have listed below some of the standard paper sizes that we get sticker requests for:

A vinyl sticker is a graphic /design printed onto self adheive vinyl and cut to any shape and size, whilst a vinyl decal is still a sticker, which is a cut out shape, logo or image (often with details cut out within the design and not just the outline) it is then supplied with a release paper on the front of the image. The decal would be applied by removing the backing paper from the sticker and placing the sticker onto a surface before removing the front release paper.

Self adhesive vinyl can be supplied with either a permanent or a removable adhesive, please advise your preference when requesting a quotation.

Vinyl stickers can be printed on static cling for use on glass surfaces. Please see our window stickers page for further information.

How much your stickers will cost to print depends on a number of factors including, the size of the stickers, the design (including if they are full colour or single colour), the number of different designs, if you would like them to be presented on sheets, rolls or as individuals and the quantity required in total.

Matt stickers have a duller satin style finish whilst gloss stickers have a shiny appearance.

Matt and gloss lamination are available on vinyl stickers. Stickers are over laminated to add an extra layer of protection over the ink.

Yes the backing paper has a shiny silicone side which the sticker is stuck to and the reverse is a matt finish, this side can be printed on. It is often used to promote sponsors, vouchers or for competitions. Please speak to our team on 01347 823230 for further information.

When a sticker is die cut, both the vinyl and the release paper are cut to the outline shape of your design. If a sticker is kiss cut, the vinyl sticker is cut to the shape of the design but the backing paper is not cut through. This process is frequently used for multi sticker sheets.

Yes, we can print stickers on either a transparent or a white vinyl to suit your design requirements. Please see our page on transparent stickers for further information.

The easiest way to remove vinyl stickers that have been in place a while is to heat them up.

Ideally you will need a hairdryer, and a bit of patience. Firstly though, let’s look at the actual sticker itself.

Self adhesive vinyl is made of a thin calendered, or cast pvc vinyl sheet with a layer of glue adhesive applied to the back. There are various types of adhesive used, varying in strength of adhesion required. The standard adhesive is called ‘permanent’, although it isn’t actually permanent.

Removable and Super Tack are also often requested for special applications and end uses. Although Removable adhesive is easier to remove, with time its ‘grip’ or bond increases and becomes more permanent.

Super Tack, or High tack adhesive refers to the initial bond to the surface, as it is a ‘stickier’ adhesive.

It’s very useful for waxy feeling surfaces, such as bins, tubs and containers that are made from polypropylene and difficult to stick on to. Why do you need heat to remove stickers?

As with most plastics, they can become brittle if cold, but also more flexible and stretchy when warm. Add to this the actual adhesive glue layer; when warmed up, the glue softens.

If you’ve struggled to remove a pvc sticker, and it annoyingly breaks into tiny pieces, a bit of heat is the answer. The heat will warm up the surface of the sticker, making it stretchy, whilst softening the glue at the same time. The warmth stops the vinyl from tearing and will remain in one piece.

Warm up the whole surface of the sticker, and then gently peel one corner up.

Keep applying a steady pressure as you slowly peel the sticker off. Keep applying more warmth, and don’t try and rip the sticker off quickly. Once you have it removed, you will find that any remaining residue can be easily removed by wiping with a solvent or spirit (petrol works well) applied to a soft cloth.
