How are stickers made?

Ordinary cut stickers, text stickers or name stickers:
These are cut from a roll of self-adhesive foil using a computer-controlled cutting plotter. Then the excess background is removed and an application film is applied over it to keep it together and to facilitate the sticking process, see our sticking instruction "How do you apply stickers?" The stickers have no background, only the drawing or text sticks. The color you choose is the color of the roll of foil from which the sticker is cut out.

Full color contour cut stickers:
These are first printed on white, self-adhesive film and then contour cut. You only stick the shape of the drawing or image, like in these examples:

How to remove stickers without leaving adhesive residue?

  • Make the sticker warm with a heat gun or hairdryer. The foil then softens and is more easily detached from the substrate. You can remove adhesive residue with benzene. This is better than aggressive products such as white spirit or thinner!

Are the stickers resistant to car wash and windscreen wipers?

  • Yes, if they are well applied, this won't cause any problems. Carefully follow our applying stickers instructions for this. After sticking and removing the application film, you should always rub the sticker well again. Do this especially at the ends and the fine points. It is best to wait 2 to 3 days before using your wipers. It is also recommended to wait a week for a car wash. By then the glue will be cured and fully bonded.
