Can kraft paper stickers be used for outdoor applications?

Kraft paper stickers are not recommended for outdoor applications or exposure to water. These stickers lack a protective laminate, making them vulnerable to environmental conditions such as rain, sunlight, and humidity. Exposure to moisture can cause kraft paper stickers to become soggy and peel off, while UV rays can lead to fading and discoloration.

These stickers are best suited for indoor use where they are less likely to encounter harsh environmental conditions. They are ideal for labeling jars, boxes, and other items kept indoors, offering a rustic, natural look that is perfect for artisanal and homemade products, adding charm and authenticity.

For outdoor use or situations where water resistance is crucial, we recommend our range of weather-resistant and UV-resistant materials such as vinyl, holographic, or brushed aluminum. These materials are designed to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring your stickers remain vibrant and intact over time. Vinyl stickers, for example, are waterproof and UV-protected, making them ideal for outdoor applications where durability and longevity are critical.

Choosing the right material for your application ensures the longevity and quality of your designs. If you are unsure which material is best suited for your needs, our support team is available to provide guidance and recommendations based on your specific requirements. Ensuring the right match between your stickers and their intended environment will help maintain their appearance and functionality, providing the best results for your projects.
