Matte finish stickers are non-shiny, have a flat texture and a dull, muted feel. They diffuse light and have very little glare. 

When should you pick Matte Finish Stickers? 

  • Your custom sticker has a light or pastel color scheme with lot of text such as product or company information and/or a photo image

  • Your product is a natural brand and you want to add subtlety and a luxurious organic look

  • You want your product to have a 'vintage' look

Glossy finish stickers are glossy; they are shinier in appearance, have a high contrast, reflect light and make colors 'pop'. 

When should you pick Glossy Finish Stickers?

  • You want to stick the stickers on glossy surfaces such as glass or shiny plastic jars

  • Your custom stickers are loaded with colors and big graphics

  • You want to add an eye-catching vibrant look to your product

  • You plan to use your custom stickers in the outdoors-on car bumpers, for outdoor advertising or to give away as swag at events. 

Your preference counts!

If you like your stickers to have more shine, go for glossy finish. If you prefer a subtle and muted look in your stickers, choose matte finish stickers.
