What materials are available for sticker sheets?
Sticker sheets can be produced using the same materials available for individual stickers, including Kraft Paper, Holographic, Vinyl, Prismatic, and Clear. Each material has specific properties related to appearance, durability, adhesion, and finish. You can choose a matte finish for vinyl materials.
Material Options for Custom Sticker Sheets

Kraft Paper and Wall-type materials are for indoor use only.
Finish Options
Most vinyl materials support:
