Custom Labels and Stickers & Laminate
Custom Labels and Stickers – Design Tip #8
To Laminate or not to laminate… that is the question! Custom labels and stickers don’t have a right or wrong answer as far as laminate goes. A lot depends on the end use for your custom labels and stickers. If it’s going in the shower and you want it to last, a laminate is the way to go. We’ve run samples through the dishwasher and done ‘wipe downs’ with wet, hot washcloths to test our custom stickers durability for customers. There are other factors to consider as well. The ‘look’ you’re going for matters, as well as the eco footprint you want your custom labels to have.
We had an interesting call today from a customer who wants waterproof custom labels for hair clips. In cases like this, one of our our first questions is always how long the custom stickers need to last. Depending upon the answer to that question (and a few more) will help you determine whether to use a laminate for your custom labels or not. If you’re more concerned with being green, we’ll advise against a laminate. If you’re more concerned about being waterproof, we’ll suggest a laminate.
