Stickers come with many different types of adhesives. Our standard products fall into 5 main adhesive categories: Static Cling, Removable, Semi-Permanent, Permanent, and Heavy Duty Permanent. We have pre-selected the adhesive that goes best with the most-likely application of your stickers. The chart below shows the various adhesive types and provides a description of how the adhesive is expected to perform.
| Adhesive Type | Description | Typical use | Products Using Adhesive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static Cling | No adhesive. Uses static energy and surface tension to “stick” to smooth glass surfaces. | Glass surfaces | Static Clings |
| Removable | Easily removed from surfaces for up to 1 year without residue left behind. | Large window posters and signage. | Double-Sided Window Stickers Window Signage Floor Graphics Removable Stickers |
| Semi-Permanent (short-term) | Sticks really well to most surfaces, but removes with little to no adhesive. Our most popular adhesive. | Promotional brand stickers such as die cut stickers, kiss cut stickers and sticker sheets. | Die Cut Stickers Clear Stickers Sticker Sheets Kiss Cut Stickers Transfer Stickers Square Stickers Back Printed Stickers Shiny Chrome Stickers Hang-Tag Stickers Screen Printed Stickers |
| Permanent (long-term) | Sticks very well for long-term use. Will be hard to remove and will likely leave behind a sticky residue. | Equipment stickers, HVAC stickers, long-term outdoor stickers. Hard hat stickers. | Equipment Stickers Hard Hat Stickers |
| Heavy Duty | Difficult surfaces to stick such as low-surface energy plastics | Rough-textured plastics such as gun cases or porta-potties. | Heavy Duty Stickers |
