Permanent Adhesive Stickers

The lifespan of a sticker depends on the material and where it's placed. Vinyl stickers with adhesive can last up to 5 years, while cling stickers typically last up to 6 months. Specialty materials like glow-in-the-dark vinyl are not meant for long-term outdoor use but can last indoors for up to 5 years. Perforated film, designed for one-way visibility, will last up to 3 years.

Our stickers come in a variety of thicknesses based on material type and lamination options. Please see the table below to find the thickness of the sticker material you are looking for. We have included the thickness of the sticker alone as well as when it is still secured to the backing.

Applying your stickers is easy! We provide detailed instructions on our Application Instructions page, and a set of these instructions will be included with each sticker order.

Lamination is a process that adds a protective layer to your sticker, enhancing its durability, strength, and appearance. At CarStickers.com, we apply a laminate layer to our printed stickers to make them scratch-resistant, weatherproof, and more resilient to UV rays. This extra layer can extend the life of your sticker by 1-3 years and comes at no additional cost. Lamination also allows you to choose between a glossy or matte finish, giving your stickers the perfect look.

Why We Provide Free Lamination for All Stickers

We�re proud to offer free lamination on all our stickers!

This added value ensures your stickers are not only durable but also look fantastic, whether you choose a matte or gloss finish.

Why We Laminate Stickers

• Resists Scratching and Abrasion
• Weather and Water Resistant
• UV Protection
• Choice Between Matte or Gloss
• Improved Durability

Matte Lamination

Matte lamination provides a subtle, non-reflective finish that enhances the sticker's durability, UV protection, and weather resistance. It�s perfect for a sleek, sophisticated look.

Gloss Lamination

Gloss lamination adds a shiny, high-impact finish that�s ideal for making your stickers stand out. It offers the same protective benefits as matte lamination but with a vibrant, reflective sheen.

At Carstickers.com, we measure and price all our stickers based on square inches. To calculate the square inches of a sticker, simply multiply the width by the height. For example, a sticker that is 4�W x 4�H (4 inches wide and 4 inches high) and a sticker that is 2�W x 8�H (2 inches wide and 8 inches high) will cost the same because both are 16 square inches.

These measurements are based on the widest and tallest areas of the sticker's shape, measured from left to right and top to bottom in a straight line.

Please note: The measurements are taken when the design is upright and in the same position as it will be applied. This ensures that the sticker you order will fit in the intended space. For example, while a diamond-shaped sticker could theoretically be rotated 45 degrees and measured as a square, a 3�x3� diamond and a 3�x3� square rotated 45 degrees are not the same size and will not fit in the same space.
