Material and Finish Options Explained

Stickerbeat stickers are printed on a transparent material that lets your design float seamlessly on any surface. The clear vinyl base is paired with your choice of a matte finish or a glossy finish, depending on the look you want to create. The matte option is one of our most requested finishes.

A matte finish gives your matte sticker a soft, low-glare appearance that feels professional and understated, making it ideal for premium packaging, custom labels, and minimalist branding. The matte option also helps reduce fingerprints and reflections, which is especially useful for matte stickers placed in well-lit retail environments. Many customers prefer a matte material for an upscale, photo-friendly look on labels and product containers.

If you prefer a brighter, more eye-catching look, a glossy finish enhances color saturation and provides extra shine. Both finishes use the same durable material, so you get the same scratch resistance and waterproof protection no matter which look you choose. Our matte and glossy options carry across many custom sticker products, so you can build a consistent matte aesthetic across your full brand identity.

For projects that mix textures, some customers order matte clear designs for product labels and glossy versions for promotional decals. Whether you choose matte or gloss, the underlying material is the same durable, scratch-resistant vinyl, with the matte version providing an especially refined surface.

Designing With White Ink and a White Underlay

Because clear stickers are printed on transparent vinyl, whatever surface lies beneath the sticker will show through your design. To preserve opacity and keep colors looking bold, we add a white underlay beneath any colored areas of your artwork.

A white underlay acts as a printed base layer that blocks out the surface color, allowing your full color printing to appear vibrant rather than washed out. If your design includes light shades, gradients, or photographic elements, a white underlay is especially important to keep the artwork looking accurate.

White ink can also be used as a stand-alone design element, printing crisp white type or graphics that pop against darker surfaces and backgrounds.

How to Order Your Custom Stickers

Ordering a custom sticker run is simple. Choose your size, format, and finish, then upload your artwork in one of our accepted formats. Once we receive your design, our team prepares a digital proof for your review.

You will see exactly how your image and colors will appear before anything goes to print, and you can request adjustments to the proof until it is exactly right. Approval of your proof is the final step before printing begins.

We do not start production until you confirm the proof, so there are no surprises after you approve the image. Once you give approval, your printed stickers are produced, carefully inspected, and shipped out to you.

If you are unsure whether your image is suitable for print, our design team is happy to take a look and offer suggestions before you upload the final file. Many of our business customers upload designs through this process to create custom labels for their products, and our team is here to help if you have questions.

Care, Application, and Removal Tips

To get the longest life out of your stickers, apply them to a clean, dry surface and press firmly to activate the strong adhesive bonded to our vinyl material. The waterproof construction means your printed stickers can handle rain, snow, and direct sun without fading or peeling.

Items like water bottles, travel mugs, and food containers can be washed normally, and our stickers remain dishwasher safe through repeated cycles. For outdoor use on vehicles, helmets, or storefronts, the UV-resistant coating protects against sun damage, while the scratch-resistant lamination keeps the surface looking new even with heavy handling.

When you are ready to remove a sticker, simply lift one corner and pull slowly. The strong adhesive holds firmly during use but releases cleanly without residue.
