Most questions about stickers boil down to a choice between three types of film, and that choice depends on two factors: how long the sticker needs to last and how flat the surface is.
Monomeric vinyl It lasts for about two years and is intended for short-term use on flat surfaces: a promotion, an opening event, a name on a window. It shrinks slightly, so on a curved surface it will start to peel away at the edges after a while.
Polymer vinyl lasts five years and has a slight curve. This is the film used for a façade, a commercial vehicle or a sign that needs to remain in place for years.
Cast vinyl It is the only one of these three that wraps round a strongly curved surface, such as a bumper or a wing mirror housing, and it lasts for seven years. It’s more expensive, but for a shape like that, there’s no alternative that stays in place.
If you’re not sure, please let us know where the sticker will be placed and how long it needs to stay in place. We cut everything to size, including individual letters and shapes, and supply from as little as one item.
