This is a question we are often asked by customers. When you order our premium stickers you have the choice of going for a glossy or matt stock.

Gloss Stickers

Gloss stock reflects light. Because of this your stickers will have more of a sheen. The benefit of this film as well is that the ink is absorbed better as well. Because of this the material has less of a likelihood of banding and is better for printing smaller text. The actual material is more suited to outdoors as well. Because of the gloss sheen, water runs off the material a lot better than matt stickers.

Matt Stickers

Matt sticker stock on the other hand does not reflect light. Because of this images and text are easier to read. However with the film used ink has a tendency to bleed a lot more on this material. Because of this printing small text is not recommended as it will not be that visible. Also printing rich solid colours on this stock can cause slight banding due to bleeding.

Even though our matt stock is waterproof we recommend our gloss stickers more for outdoors. The reason for this is it has a better protective layer for being waterproof. Both material are printed with our 3 year durable inks.
