Stickers materials

Hi, friends, I’m new to the community. What paper do you recommend for stickers with my iCraft? I look forward to your responses, and thank you in advance.

Hello, welcome to the community. I hope you feel at home. There are several types of paper you can use to make stickers, such as printable adhesive paper, water-resistant printable vinyl, and also printable holographic vinyl. Each one will provide you with a different type of finish depending on what you are looking for. I hope this answer is useful.

Personally I prefer using printable vinyl stickers because they are more durable than paper stickers

I searched on amazon for vinyl sticker paper and accidently order paper sticker paper. The printed fine, but were not very durable in use - lasted 1 day!

I then ordered a pack of HTVRONT vinyl and it prints fine.
(I was making a rectangular label, so used the guillotine rather than the iCraft).

I suggest it’s better going for a brand you know.

Hello @minerva_martinez and welcome!!

As Idear says you have that options, and as timmy says, the better is printable water ressistant printable vinyl. Paper stickers are just label stickers for desktop use.

Hi and welcome to the community @minerva_martinez I have just picked up these sticker sheets to use in my inkjet A4 printer. (australia)
Avarrix Australia Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper for Inkjet Laser Printer, Matte White. I like them because they print up nicesly as they are, the sticker part when it’s peeled off is nice and thin.
this is what I found similar in US letter size
OYEZA Premium Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper for Inkjet Printer Matte White Waterproof Tear Resistant, Inkjet & Laser Printer.
But if you use A4 you can get the Avarrix Australia Printable Vinyl Sticker Paper for Inkjet Laser Printer, Matte White on amazon dot com

I cant use the HTV sticker paper because its a US letter size, I need A4.
I have worked out and saved the cut settings for this Avarrix as well.
If you want a really sturdy firm sticker with a gloss finish you need to search for that type of sticker paper, or you can add a clear sticker sheet over the top of your original sticker befor you cut them out.

I also accidently ordered for the laser printer instead of the inkjet, they allowed me to return it and send a new box, I learnt to read slower now :rofl:
