We’re excited to introduce one of our newest sticker options: custom embossed stickers, now available at CarStickers.com.
If you’ve ever wanted your design to literally stand out, this is it.
Let’s break it down.
What Are Embossed Stickers?
Let’s start with the word embossed.
According to Merriam-Webster, embossed means: “ornamented with or having the form of a raised pattern, design, image, etc.”
Traditionally, embossed stickers have been associated with gold or silver foil techniques. Those classic metallic raised stickers have been around for decades. For a long time, that was the only type of embossed option available.
But not anymore.
How Our Embossed Stickers Work
With modern UV printing technology, we can now create a raised effect on any part of your design, not just foil.
We use a specialized UV printing process that allows us to apply a raised gloss layer onto specific areas of your artwork. This creates a tactile, elevated texture that you can both see and feel.
Want to emphasize a logo, brand name, key text, a design element, or a pattern? The raised UV layer adds dimension and instantly makes your sticker feel premium.
What Material Are Embossed Stickers Printed On?
Our embossed stickers are printed on standard white vinyl, the same flexible, durable material our customers already love.
Because we use UV printing, your design is printed with UV resistant inks, making these stickers fade resistant and long lasting. They’re also thick and weatherproof.
Unlike our standard laminated vinyl stickers, embossed stickers do not require a separate lamination layer. The UV curing process hardens and seals the ink during printing, making the surface scratch resistant.
One key difference: embossed stickers have a slight texture on the sticker, while our laminated stickers are completely smooth.
Neither option is better or worse — they simply offer different finishes and design experiences. Both are durable, long-lasting, and built for real-world use.
Why Choose Embossed Stickers?
If you want your design to feel elevated — literally — embossed stickers add that extra wow factor.
They’re thick. They’re textured. They feel premium in-hand.
This makes them perfect for brands and creators who want to stand out without changing their entire design.
