Which Sticker Material is Best?

Short answer? It depends on your vibe. Need something that sparkles? We’ve got you. Want something that blends into the background like a sticker ninja? Yep, we’ve got that, too. Stomp offers a lineup of high-quality adhesive stickers to suit every personality and purpose, from bold and shiny holographic stickers to low-key matte styles. Let’s break down your options so you can pick the perfect one for your next sticker order.

White Vinyl Stickers

Think of white vinyl stickers as the dependable all-stars. Glossy, tough, and super versatile, these stickers are perfect for indoor or outdoor use. They’re waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-proof, meaning they can handle just about anything you throw at them (or stick them on). The glossy finish gives colors an extra pop, making them perfect for eye-catching designs.

Ideal for businesses looking for custom stickers that stand out, white vinyl is a favorite for die cut stickers with custom sizes that fit your brand’s unique shape.

Best For: Outdoor use, brand promotions, and any design that needs durable material with a glossy finish.

Matte Stickers

If glossy isn’t your thing, meet the chill cousin of vinyl stickers: matte stickers. These are made from the same durable vinyl material but with a matte finish for that soft, no-shine look. They’re just as waterproof and UV-resistant as their glossy relatives but with a more subtle vibe.

Matte stickers are perfect if you want a modern, minimalist look. Plus, you can write on them! So, if you’re looking for adhesive stickers that double as writable labels, matte is your best friend.

Best For: Branding with a sleek, low-glare look, writable surfaces, and designs that want to play it cool.

Clear Stickers

Clear stickers are the magic trick of the sticker world. Want your design to look like it’s floating on the surface? Go with clear stickers. They’re made of clear vinyl, so only your design shows up, blending seamlessly with whatever you stick it on—perfect for windows, bottles, or any surface where you don’t want a big white outline.

These printed stickers are durable, weatherproof, and can handle the outdoors just as well as their solid counterparts. Whether you’re promoting your brand or decorating a storefront, clear stickers add that “no-background” look.

Best For: Window decals, minimalist branding, and designs where the application surface needs to show through.

Mirror Stickers

Mirror, mirror, on the wall… these stickers are the shiniest of them all. Mirror stickers add a metallic finish that reflects light, giving your design a high-end, glamorous look. Perfect for logos, event branding, or any time you want a little extra sparkle, mirror stickers demand attention.

The reflective mirror-like surface makes these custom stickers look premium and professional, which is why they’re often used for luxury branding. Because when you’re this shiny, people are bound to notice.

Best For: Eye-catching brand promotions, logos, and anything that needs a polished, reflective look.

Holographic Stickers

Holographic stickers are like a party in sticker form. These babies change colors depending on the light and angle, giving you a rainbow-like effect that’s impossible to ignore. If you’re looking to grab attention and make a statement, holographic stickers are the way to go.

These stickers feature a scratch-resistant laminate that helps protect the inks and keeps your designs looking sharp. Their eye-catching appeal makes them perfect for brands targeting a young, fun audience—or anyone who loves a little extra sparkle.

Best For: Unique, playful branding, creative projects, and designs that need a high-energy, colorful look.

Glitter Stickers

Who doesn’t love a little sparkle? Glitter stickers bring the bling, adding texture and shine that makes any design pop. They’re ideal for event branding, party favors, or any place that could use a dash of glam. Like holographic stickers, glitter stickers are all about grabbing attention in a fun and memorable way.

These stickers also feature a protective gloss laminate that provides resistance to scratching, tearing, and water damage. They’re perfect for those who want their adhesive stickers to shimmer and shine.

Best For: Fun and glamorous branding, party favors, and any design that could use a bit of sparkle.

Domed Stickers

Domed stickers add dimension—literally. With a thick, clear resin coating, these stickers have a 3D, bubble-like appearance that makes them look extra high-end. The dome also adds durability, protecting your design from scratches, water, and UV rays.

If you want your logo or design to stand out in a tactile way, domed stickers are a perfect choice. Often used on electronics, car emblems, and other products where a 3D look adds value, these custom stickers give a premium, professional feel.

Best For: High-end branding, product logos, and designs that need a 3D, premium look.
