Yes, our stickers use a permanent, medium-strength adhesive. This means that your stickers will stick, but can be removed without leaving any adhesive residue.
What is the best sticker size?
The best sticker size depends on how you want to use your stickers. If you are not sure, we recommend opting for anything between 4 and 7cm. This will make your stickers large enough to include text and design elements and is perfect for applying them to laptops.
We also have a detailed sticker and label sizing guide for you.

What size do I enter for labels?
If you want multiple designs per sticker sheet, enter the full sheet size in the pricing calculator above and upload your artwork for the full sheet.
If you want the same label on a single sheet, enter the size of the label you want. We will make your sheet size approximately A4 unless you ask specifically for another size.
You can do this in the additional instructions after uploading your artwork.

Yes, you can get multiple designs on a sheet without any extra cost.
If you would like multiple designs on one sheet, please enter the sheet size in the pricing calculator above.
You can either combine your designs in a .zip file and we will arrange them on a sheet for you, or you can upload you own sheet.
If you do that, please ensure each design is at least 2cm big and 4mm apart and the cutline is 100% magenta.
What are sheet labels?
Sheet labels contain a number of labels printed onto an A4 sheet that is not cut through the backing paper. This makes labels faster to apply than stickers.

Sustainability
Are sustainable stickers and labels waterproof?
No, the material these stickers get printed on is splashproof only. That means it can handle light contact with water. You can find out more about the different levels of waterproofness and which stickers and labels are waterproof here.
What eco-friendly materials do you offer?
We offer seven eco-friendly sticker options:
- Biodegradable paper
- White
- Clear
- Holographic
- Glitter
- Silver
- Gold
How are eco-friendly metallic materials made?
They are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and contain no plastics.
We then add a 0.02µ metallised layer that gives it the holographic, glitter, silver or gold appearance.
This layer is so thin that it will not interfere with the compostability of the material and your stickers or labels will completely degrade.
How quickly do these stickers and labels compost?
Within about 12 weeks. Watch a time lapse video of it degrading here.
Die cut & Kiss cut
What is the difference between die cut and kiss cut stickers?
Die cut stickers are cut through the material layer and the backing paper, creating a custom shape for your entire sticker. Kiss cut stickers are only cut through the material layer, leaving the backing paper intact.
You can find out more about their differences and plenty of images in our post on kiss cut vs die cut stickers.
Are die cut and kiss cut stickers waterproof?
If you choose a waterproof material, your stickers will be waterproof. Our waterproof materials include:
- White vinyl

- Holographic
- Glitter
- Silver

- Fluorescent
For more details on waterproof stickers, read our in-depth article on which stickers and labels are waterproof.
Which sticker should I chose?
You can choose whichever sticker you like best.
But we generally recommend using kiss cut stickers for intricate designs, as the added border makes them easier to peel.
Both stickers are create for selling on or handing out to customers.
What materials are these stickers printed on?
You can get die cut and kiss cut stickers printed onto any of our materials.
Effect Stickers
How transparent are clear stickers?
Our clear stickers have some of the highest clarity on the market because we use high-quality materials.
You will see a slight edge to your sticker, which is why we recommend keeping the shape of your sticker simple for an even cleaner finish. Simple circle or rectangle shapes work best.
What are holographic stickers?
Holographic stickers are also often referred to as metallic or iridescent stickers. They are printed onto the effect vinyl are create a beautiful rainbow-effect when the light hits them.
Can you print white on these stickers?
Yes, our digital printing technology allows us to get amazingly opaque (not see-thru) white. When printed behind a colour on effect materials, it gives that colour fantastic vibrancy. Read more about printing white ink on stickers and labels here.
What other effect stickers do you offer?
We offer clear, holographic, glitter, silver and gold stickers and labels.
Wall stickers & Floor stickers
How long will these stickers last on my floor?
This is a tricky question to answer because it depends on how much footfall and cleaning your stickers get. When applied inside to a clean, smooth floor, this sticker should last about 1 year. If it's in a heavy traffic area, this can reduce to just a few months, and it's barely touched it'll last years.
Can I use floor stickers outside?
Yes, but only for temporary use (a few weeks or less).
How do I apply these stickers?
It's pretty easy and won't take longer than 15 minutes. We include application instructions in the box, but you can download them here if you need them.
Can I remove wall stickers?
Yes, absolutely. We use an adhesive that is designed to be removed without peeling paint away from the wall. We've carried out extensive testing and find it doesn't remove paint from walls during these tests. However, we cannot guarantee this will not happen because all painted surfaces vary.
