The weatherproof matte inkjet sticker paper is a water-resistant film stock and adhesive but since the ink sits on top after printing, we'd recommend laminating with a clear gloss label sheet or self-laminating paper to make it truly waterproof! Very helpful video!

@onlinelabels That answers my question if you had printable vinyl sheets. Thanks. I'm currently running through some brands to test, and your company is well rated. I also cold laminate because if you get it wet colour still runs. However if you print with colour laser, i found the colour doesn't run BUT the print is duller. We want our stickers to be able to go one peoples water bottles, coolers, car, side of the canoe, etc. Thanks for the info!

I've done "water tests" with the online labels Weatherproof matte sticker paper. This paper is definitely water proof, and is what I use to make my tumbler stickers. I agree with the comment mentioned below from online labels. I've tested the water proof durability with and without applying a lamination sheet. With lamination sheet will protect your printed design on your sticker and definitely keeps your sticker waterproof. With out the lamination sheet, the paper itself is still waterproof, but your printed design can be scratched off over time.

I had better luck using PPG vinyl sticker paper with Avery stick on laminate for a dishwasher safe sticker, but for planner stickers, I do the weatherproof matte. It’s a nice quality paper.

Serious question: If you use the bubble mailer how does it not bend or mess up the stickers in transit?
@StickerGuru Жыл бұрын
Our orders are typically pretty thick, so we haven't had any issues of bending in transit! You could put chipboards in the bubble mailers, but that'll add an additional cost, so it might be more worth it to just go with rigid cardboard mailers.

I was wondering would it be more effective to print ship labels from your regular printer or buying a machine that prints out shipping sticker labels?
@StickerGuru Жыл бұрын
Defff recommend a thermal label printer to print out shipping labels. It's like 3 seconds to print out a label sticker vs. 30 seconds to print, cut, tape label to a package. It adds up when you have to ship a hundred orders 🥲
