Carstickers.com offers a variety of types and styles; And while they will all look great on your vehicle or surface of choosing, there are some key differences in how they are made and applied.
Transfer Stickers have been cut out of material and had the background removed from the design. They are applied using transfer tape.
Printed Stickers are made by digitally printing your design on vinyl. They are applied by peeling the sticker from the backing and applying it by hand.

People often ask the difference between a decal and a sticker. Unfortunately there is not an absolute answer because different people often use the terms interchangeably to describe similar products.
At Carstickers.com, we use the terms "Decal and Sticker" to describe the same thing: a design printed on an adhesive vinyl for indoor or outdoor use. We refer to our custom vinyl lettering and graphics as "transfer" products because they are transferred to a smooth surface using an application tape.
