Stickers for Decoration

A sticker is actually similar to a label: a sheet of printed paper, vinyl, or another material, with adhesive on one side.

Nowadays, stickers are everywhere around us. They are in children’s books and albums, also used at various events to break the ice, for decoration purposes, and many others. Stickers are a fundamental part of the marketing mix for many lifestyle brands with loyal fans, eager to be part of the community.

History of Stickers

We’ve seen stickers everywhere, but have we ever wondered how exactly they became so widely used or when they were first introduced?

In Egypt, in the cities of Cairo and Alexandria, ingenious traders began to place papyrus signs, with which they advertised the prices of their goods.

And if you’re too pedantic and think a piece of papyrus glued to a wall doesn’t fit the definition of a sticker, then let’s move a little further in time to around 1839 in England, when the first adhesive paper for making postage stamps was discovered.

Then, adhesive paper became popular as manufacturers and traders began to use “stickers” to brand their products, decorating boxes and cases with everything from logos to advertisements and price tags. However, all of these were applied with water, similar to wallpapers.

And even later, in 1935, R. Stanton Avery invented the first self-adhesive stickers. His company is a major player in the industry to this day, offering both direct-to-consumer retail goods and a full line of commercial actions made just for the printing industry.

Application

Stickers come in many different shapes and sizes, and also vary significantly in color and design. They are often stuck to objects like lunch boxes, paper, cabinets, notebooks, walls, cars, windows, etc.

When placed on car bumpers, whether magnetic or permanent, they are called bumper stickers and are often used by people as a way to demonstrate support for political or ideological causes.

Another application is to decorate the pages of a scrapbook or to help in journaling or planning, making it much more enjoyable, fun, and easy. Currently, there are thousands of types of stickers for every occasion or mood, making aiding the organization of daily tasks easier. The types of stickers include acrylic, 3D, cardboard, fabric, glitter and paper.

Types of Stickers

Stickers vary based on several factors. Firstly, they can be made from paper, vinyl with standard adhesive, or vinyl with non-standard adhesive (those that can be easily peeled off and replaced) or from reflective materials.

Another distinction is how complex they are to cut. They can be:

• Basic shapes (squares, rectangles, ovals)
• Customized (those further cut to design)
• Whole sheets
• Rolls (mostly used for a specific brand)

These stickers are versatile and have a number of applications. They can be used on walls, as decoration for children’s rooms, bathrooms, mirrors, wardrobes and more. Holiday stickers are also popular, the most common of which are those for Easter and Christmas. There is also a high demand for nail stickers, as well as vinyl stickers.

Now let’s explain the 5 most commonly used stickers:

• Logo stickers – they are durable and can be given as gifts to customers or glued on promotional materials.
• Clear stickers – they are usually water and oil-resistant. Most often can be seen on signs or windows. They are printed primarily on premium, weather-resistant vinyl and can be cut into any shape and have a UV coating.
• Die-cut stickers – they are precisely cut to the shape of your design and can be stuck on all smooth surfaces, both indoors and outdoors.
• Photo stickers – most photo stickers are made of vinyl material and can be stuck on mugs, wine bottles, cabinets, laptops, etc.
