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.

Yes, custom photo stickers are dishwasher safe. They are made from durable vinyl that can withstand the dishwasher's heat and water. This makes them a great option for customizing items like water bottles, mugs, and other dishwasher-safe surfaces.

Front-facing stickers are typically used by adhering them to the inside of a window. This option is especially popular for parking permit stickers, as they can be easily applied to the inside of a car window or windshield, ensuring they are visible while being protected from weather damage.

Custom photo stickers are a popular option for personalizing many items and creating custom gifts! Some of the most popular uses for custom photo stickers include:

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.

Yes, photo stickers are laminated to ensure durability and a longer-lasting finish. You can choose between gloss or matte lamination. Gloss lamination provides a shiny, reflective finish, while matte lamination offers a smooth, non-glossy appearance. Both options help protect your stickers from scratches and fading, making them ideal for both indoor and outdoor use.

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.

You can choose from several vinyl types for your photo stickers:

• Standard White Vinyl: Durable and suitable for various surfaces.
• Light Adhesive Vinyl: Offers a temporary, low-tack option for easy removal and repositioning.
• Permanent Adhesive Vinyl: Ideal for long-lasting applications where the sticker should remain securely in place.
• Front Facing Adhesive Vinyl: Designed for sticking to the inside of windows, allowing the image to be visible from the outside.
• Static Cling: Perfect for temporary applications on glass and smooth surfaces.
