Not all stickers are created equal. Some peel too soon, fade under sunlight, or wrinkle in humidity. For businesses and creatives in Sri Lanka, designing vinyl stickers that stay sharp and stick well is key to customer satisfaction.

At Jeewa Plastic, we offer vinyl sticker materials that deliver on both durability and print quality. Here’s how to get the most out of them.

Choose the Right Vinyl for the Job

Sticker longevity begins with the base material.

  • Calendered Vinyl: Great for short-term indoor use, budget-friendly, and easy to cut.
  • Cast Vinyl: More flexible, thinner, and ideal for long-term or outdoor applications.

For everyday labels and product branding, our Matt Vinyl Stickers offer a professional finish and dependable adhesion.

Adhesive Strength Matters

Different adhesives suit different surfaces.

  • Permanent Adhesive: Best for outdoor or long-term branding, these stick tightly to glass, plastic, and metal.
  • Removable Adhesive: Useful for temporary signage, promotions, or event branding.

Jeewa Plastic’s vinyl stickers use high-quality adhesives suited for Sri Lankan conditions – humid, hot, or rainy.

Laminate for Protection

Lamination adds a layer of defense against wear, UV rays, and moisture.

  • Gloss Lamination: Enhances colors and provides a shiny finish.
  • Matt Lamination: Offers a subdued look while still protecting the print.

For lasting results, we recommend Gloss Lamination Film for high-exposure stickers used outdoors or on vehicles.

Design Tips for Longevity

To ensure your stickers stay visually strong and physically intact:

  • Use high-resolution graphics for clarity after lamination.
  • Leave bleed space around edges to avoid peeling.
  • Choose fade-resistant inks for long-term vibrancy.
  • Avoid overly intricate cuts, which may lift sooner.

Application & Surface Prep

Even the best-designed sticker won’t last on a dirty surface. Always:

  • Clean the surface with alcohol before applying.
  • Apply slowly using a squeegee to avoid bubbles.
  • Let adhesives cure for 24 hours for full stickiness.

For tools, check out our Solux Squeegee designed to make application smooth and bubble-free.
