20 Self-Adhesive A4 Vinyl Matt White Sheets, Waterproof, Customisable Stcikers, Inkjet & Laser Printable

Product Information

I also test three different brands of protective laminate and have recommendations so you can find the one that’s right for your custom waterproof labels or clear stickers. We understand that sometimes you need something a little different to ensure your sticker remains as reliable as the product inside. I am going to experiment with some other printable sticker vinyl and see if that makes a difference too. There is no prep time for the self-adhesive sheets, you just line everything up, peel back the top like a hinge, and then pull off the backing. I have a step-by-step tutorial for applying self-adhesive laminate sheets in my post, How to Waterproof Your Stickers [Laminate 101].

Waterproof vinyl stickers are a great way to make bumper stickers, laptop stickers, school supplies boxes, food containers that are long-lasting. Knowing the best ways to protect your stickers means you don’t have to worry about how your stickers will hold up to different situations or applications. For the die-cut stickers I cut using the holographic Kraft setting and for a kiss-cut I used the Stencil . I have a tutorial on how to use a laminating machine to protect your stickers in my post, How to Heat Laminate Your Stickers and Labels.Many companies say that their printable vinyl is completely waterproof and it doesn’t need any kind of sealer as long as you use uv inks. It can come in glossy or matte, and there are several tried-and-true brands like Krylon, Mod Podge, and Minwax.

I couldn’t get the spray, but had a laminator and pouches, I let the laminator warm up for about 10mins past the ready light and did two sheets back to back on 3mm setting. Waterproof stickers are great in environments which will often be exposed to moisture or chemicals, making them a perfect addition to cosmetic products and oil-based products and also science equipment!Use a self-adhesive laminating sheet (with UV protection) or a thermal laminator so that you know with certainty that you have absolute coverage over your entire sticker. Could it be that I didn’t wait long enough for them to dry before putting them through the laminator? It’s so easy to feed sheet after sheet through the machine and your laminating two sticker sheets back-to-back so it goes twice as fast.

You can use waterproof stickers/decals in more places (like water bottles); as a bonus, the ink won’t fade as quickly either.

Spray sealer wins this one because you can hardly tell it’s there, although Avery’s Self-Adhesive Laminating Sheets are super thin and don’t add much bulk or weight to the sticker. Avery's customisable printable waterproof printer labels and stickers come in a variety of different shapes and sizes which you can print in the comfort of your home or office.

However, when I tested printable vinyl with multiple washes, I found that even with printable vinyl, the ink can run.

I place a big cardboard box out in my yard and spray several at once, then set a timer to repeat as many times as needed. Testing three different brands, Avery, Royal, and Violetta, I found that I preferred the Royal because it was a medium-weight, and it gave me a glossy sticker so clear that it makes my stickers look beautifully saturated and luminous. Added bulk makes finding the correct cut settings a little trickier, using a spray negates that issues.
