When to Choose a Paper Sticker?
A paper sticker is an excellent choice when you’re looking for an eco-friendly and affordable option for short-term use. Paper stickers are also easy to mark with a ballpoint pen if needed. There are many paper options available, such as matte and glossy finishes, as well as different adhesive types, such as removable, permanent, and extra-strong adhesives. We also offer pre-colored paper sticker options, including yellow, red, green, blue, and neon colors. Other shades can be achieved by printing the background color to the customer’s specifications.
Most of the sticker types are available in both unpunched and pre-punched back options. If necessary, we can also cut the punches precisely where the customer desires. Especially for large-sized stickers, partial application before the final positioning is important to ensure the sticker is applied straight and without wrinkles. Die-cut stickers easily draw attention and stand out. Round or rounded corners are created with die-cutting tools, and irregularly shaped promotional stickers can be made more affordably by cutting, avoiding the cost of die-cutting tools.
Where Can Paper Stickers Be Used?
Paper stickers can be used in various environments where the sticker is not constantly exposed to moisture or wear. They are commonly used in storage areas, shelf markings, product labels, and temporary campaigns where an affordable and easily replaceable solution is needed. Paper stickers are also used in many office settings, such as for labeling folders or mailings. Specifically, short-term advertisements, such as sale signs and trade show stickers, benefit from paper material. Die-cut paper stickers in round or square shapes add value and visibility, making them a cost-effective choice for advertising and branding.
What Types of Paper Stickers Can You Order from Tarra-Tac?
PP Sticker (Polypropylene):
The operating temperature for polypropylene ranges between -30°C and +90°C, depending on the grade. PP can be melted and reused or burned as an energy source.
PE Sticker (Polyethylene):
Polyethylene is the most affordable and widely used plastic in the world. It has good chemical resistance, except to strong acids. Most plastic containers are made of PE. When using polyethylene as an adhesive surface, a special adhesive is required because the surface of PE plastic is slippery. The operating temperature ranges between -30°C and +80°C, depending on the grade. We also produce BS5609 certified stickers from this material for maritime use.
PVC Sticker (Polyvinyl Chloride):
The main advantage of PVC stickers is their superior UV resistance. Vinyl stickers are used when a long lifespan is required, and they are exposed to the elements. When the adhesive surface is irregular, it is advisable to use vinyl stickers as they are the most flexible among plastics. The operating temperature range for PVC stickers is between -40°C and +110°C, depending on the grade.
PES Sticker (Polyester):
We produce polyester stickers when a tough plastic is required with high heat resistance. The operating temperature ranges between -40°C and +225°C, depending on the grade. The advantage of polyester stickers is their minimal thermal expansion or contraction. We also offer silver polyester stickers (3M 7983), whose matte silver surface is ideal for machine labeling solutions. Additionally, the surface of the silver polyester has a coating that allows for marking with a pen.
PU Sticker (Polyurethane):
A highly flexible plastic material suitable for applications with an operating temperature range of -40°C to +80°C.
PVC-Free Stickers:
For certain applications where fire regulations prohibit the use of vinyl, we manufacture stickers using PVC-free films.
