A Complete Guide to Die-Cut Sticker Materials
February 13, 2026
There‘s nothing like the feeling of peeling the backing off a fresh, custom die-cut sticker. But before you hit order, you need to choose your sticker finish. Think of the sticker material as an outfit your design wears. Are you going for sleek and professional? Or are you looking to grab attention?
Here’s a breakdown of our die-cut sticker finishes to help you find the one that’s right for your project.
1. Signature Die-Cut Stickers: The Reliable Classic
Our Signature Vinyl is a best seller for a reason. It’s thick, durable and features a high-definition print quality that makes colors snap.
The best use: Professional branding, laptop decals, water bottles and outdoor gear. They’re waterproof and dishwasher-safe, meaning they’ll look just as good a year from now as they do today.

2. Holographic Stickers: The Attention-Grabber
If you want to stop people in their tracks, go holographic. This material uses a light-catching, rainbow-effect vinyl that shifts colors as you move it.
The best use: Limited edition merch and artist stickers. It adds a special feel to any design and can turn a standard logo into something hypnotic.

3. Glitter Stickers: The Bold Statement
Unlike the messy glitter of your youth, our Glitter Stickers use a smooth, high-intensity metal flake embedded in the vinyl. That means you get all the sparkle and none of the flake-off.
The best use: Band merch, festival promos or any design where you want to emphasize specific elements with a brilliant shimmer.

4. Eco-Safe Stickers: The Conscious Choice
Our Eco-Safe line is a great choice for brands that want to prioritize sustainability. These are 100 percent PVC-free and compostable, offering a beautiful matte finish without the environmental footprint of traditional vinyl.
The best use: Sustainable packaging, organic products and eco-conscious campaigns where your values are as important as your visuals.

5. Glow in the Dark Stickers: The After-Hours Surprise
By day, these stickers look like high-quality white vinyl. By night, they emit a vibrant neon glow. They’re a fun way to add a hidden layer to your design.
The best use: Halloween promotions, safety signage, nightclub life or creative streetwear branding that needs to stand out when the lights go down.

6. Clear Stickers: The Seamless Professional
Clear Stickers help your design to stand on its own without a visible border. Because the material is transparent, your artwork looks like it was printed directly onto the surface.
The best use: Window decals and product labels for glass jars or bottles. They offer a sleek, no-label look that really works for minimalist branding.
