Paper
It is durable, glossy, beautiful, cheap, with the only downside that it is not water proof - but fear not, it will not smudge upon contact with water, just that it is not suitable for use with prolonged contact with water.
Synthetic
Synthetic sticker is manufactured using oil-based synthetic resins (plastic).
Synthetic sticker, like plastic, is water resistant and tear resistant.
PVC
Waterproof PVC sticker is more commonly used than paper sticker, as it is waterproof, hard to tear, has bright radiant color, and is cheap. but please note, we do digital printing, thus all “white” / “transparent” colour will be printed as nothing – thus take the background colour of silver / gold!
