Vinyl stickers or paper stickers? A common debate when it comes to choosing what type of sticker to use. Is there a clear winner? Or is it really just down to preference? We compare our vinyl stickers against paper stickers. Read below as we look at both sides of the argument and we make our own judgment on the sticker debate.

Vinyl vs. paper

Vinyl has a lot of advantages over traditional paper stickers, which easily crack and fade over time. An advantage of vinyl is that it can be pulled off in one piece. Paper stickers are a nightmare to pull off after a while. Vinyl stickers won’t mark if water or oil is spilled on them. That’s a big plus. A paper sticker is ruined if any sort of liquid touches the sticker. The uses of paper stickers are limited. They are vulnerable to fading, prone to rip upon removal, and easily destroyed if wet. Paper stickers are mainly used for labels used indoors. They are typically printed in large rolls and applied to boxes and packaging. Vinyl stickers work for labels too but they have a whole lot more uses.
