    Learn More About Stickers

    From kids to college students to corporate big-wigs, a well-placed sticker brings a smile to anyone's face. Stickers are amazingly multifaceted, displaying fandoms, advertising services, celebrating successes, and much more. Below are just a few of the types of stickers you’ll find from sellers on Etsy:


    • Die-cut: Die-cut stickers are pressed into the exact outline of the sticker design without overhanging backing. They typically feature a split back you crack and peel to remove.
    • Kiss-cut: Kiss-cut stickers are the most common design, featuring a backing of waxy paper that’s larger than the sticker outline.
    • Sheet: Sheet stickers are full sheets of identical or themed stickers cut into one sticker sheet. Sticker sheets often appear in activity books or planners.
    • Transfer decals: Transfer decal stickers produce eye-catching silhouettes. They’re created by cutting sticker material into a shape or graphic and removing the background.
    • Wall decals: Wall decal stickers are large graphics or designs that stick to flat walls without using nails or glue. Choose wall stickers for dorm rooms, teens with quickly-changing styles, or seasonal decorations.

    Whether you’re displaying your interests on a skateboard or adding detail to your bullet journal, stickers are an easy way to make everyday items uniquely yours. Stickers are used in a wide range of applications, so they often require different levels of durability. Below are a few of the most common sticker materials:


    • Paper: Paper stickers come on matte sheets with a sticky backing and often feature shiny finishes. They’re great for notebooks, folders, and custom greeting cards.
    • Vinyl: More durable than the paper option, custom vinyl stickers are great for long-term use on electronics, bottles, and bags.
    • Cling: Static cling stickers are made from an extra-stretchy, transparent vinyl film designed to stick to various surfaces. They don’t have a sticky backing, making them the perfect glass and window stickers.

    The versatility of stickers makes your options for styling nearly endless. Stickers allow you to display your identity, sense of humor, and favorite things. Custom stickers take an average messenger bag and make it a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Phone case stickers add personality to your phone, making it feel authentically you. Remind yourself of goals, inspiration, or affirmations with water bottle stickers in scrolling fonts. Personalized stickers create a map of interests and experiences and allow you to put your mark on anything you own.
