Stickers

Graffiti stickers have long been a popular medium for writers to showcase their creativity and get their name up in the easiest way possible. While tags and throws can take up a bit of time, stickers only take half a second to slap up! But what materials are best for making stickers? In this breakdown, we'll delve into the characteristics of three common materials used for graffiti stickers: paper, vinyl, and eggshell. 



- Paper Stickers -

Paper stickers are one of the most accessible and affordable options for graffiti artists.
They are typically made from matte or glossy paper stock, offering varying levels of durability.


Advantages

1. Cost-effective:
Paper stickers are usually cheaper to produce, making them ideal for mass distribution.

2. Easy to print on:
Paper is compatible with most printing methods, including inkjet and laser printing.


Disadvantages

1.Limited durability:
Paper stickers are susceptible to tearing, moisture, and fading, especially when exposed to outdoor elements.

2. Less versatile:
They may not adhere well to uneven or non-smooth surfaces.

3. Easy to remove:
A razor blade or fingernail will destroy these slaps in no time.



- Vinyl Stickers -

Vinyl stickers are known for their durability and weather resistance, making them a popular choice for outdoor applications.
They are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride) material, which provides flexibility and resilience.


Advantages

1. Weather-resistant:
Vinyl stickers can withstand exposure to rain, sunlight, and harsh weather conditions without deteriorating.

2. Long-lasting:
Their durable nature ensures that vinyl stickers maintain their integrity over time, even in high-traffic areas.

3. Versatile:
Vinyl stickers adhere well to various surfaces, including metal, plastic, glass, and painted walls.


Disadvantages

1. Costlier:
Vinyl stickers tend to be more expensive than paper stickers due to the higher quality of materials.

2. Limited printability:
While vinyl can be printed on, the printing process may require specialized equipment and inks.

3. Easy to remove:
Vinyl can be easily peeled off in one go making the buff-mans job a piece of cake.

- Eggshell Stickers -

Eggshell stickers, also known as destructible vinyl or tamper-evident stickers, are designed to fragment into tiny pieces when removed.
They are made from a fragile vinyl material that tears easily upon attempted removal, leaving behind residue and deterring heroes from trying to remove them.


Advantages

1. Hard to remove:
Eggshell stickers provide a tamper-evident feature, making them the best option for graffiti writers, as they are the hardest to remove.

2. Durability of vinyl:
These stickers can also have all the same benefits of your regular vinyl stickers that are waterproof and sunproof, allowing your stickers to run for longer than anyone else.


Disadvantages

1. Limited reusability:
Once applied, eggshell stickers cannot be removed intact, making them unsuitable for applications where repositioning is required. This is perfect for sticker bombing, but not what you would want to have on your car window.

2. Cost:
Eggshell stickers are usually the most expensive of the bunch, but for good reason as they last the longest for graffiti writers.
