Vinyl Stickers vs. Glossy Stickers
The Great Debate
GLOSSY STICKERS
Price:
Glossy Stickers cost less than vinyl stickers. This makes them very popular!
Durability:
Glossy stickers will last for years indoors. Bring them outside and they'll last quite a while, but eventually the rain and sun will wear the paper sticker away.
Suggested Use:
When you want to spread a viral message on a budget, go with glossy stickers. They have better print quality than vinyl, great for small detail prints. Many bands, events and charities choose paper stickers.
VINYL STICKERS
Price:
Vinyl Stickers cost a bit more than glossy stickers.
Durability:
Vinyl stickers can stand up to sunlight, rain, humidity and snow. Perfect for long term use, especially for outdoors.
Suggested Use:
When you need stickers in unique shapes, that don't leave residue behind and can last outdoors... it's worth it to order custom vinyl stickers. We also offer free sample print for vinyl stickers before the production.
More Info:
Vinyl peels easy! Since they don't leave glue behind, vinyl stickers can be placed on expensive merchandise. Plus, we can cut vinyl stickers into any shape you want! Perfect for lettering on signs and creative shapes.

Vector files use lines, curves and shapes to create an image based on mathematical formulas.
Advantage of Vector: Vector designs can be enlarged without getting pixelated or blurry.
Disadvantage of Vector: Photographs and images usually can't be vectorized. Vector is best for shapes and text.
Which programs use Vector? Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw are two popular vector art programs.
Common Vector Problem: Missing Font
If you are using a rare font, send us the font file (.ttf) with your vector design file (.ai .cdr)
![]() Alternatively, send us a copy of your file with all fonts converted to curves (outlined). Be sure to save the original under a different name in case you want to edit the text later on. |
Raster files use pixels to display an image.
Advantage of Raster: Raster files are good for photographs. It can print well when you set your image size and quality high.
Disadvantage of Raster: Raster files can look blurry when enlarged. Be sure to save at high quality from the start.
Which programs use Raster? Adobe Photoshop is a popular raster program. Most images online are raster files as well.
Common Raster Problem: Low Quality Image
When creating a new document in Photoshop, select Image > Image Size and set the quality to 300 DPI. Note that enlarging a low quality jpg will not increase the quality. Once you have a higher quality image, send it to us!
