Laminating

Will laminate stop my stickers fading in sunlight?

It slows fading significantly. Our UV gloss and matte self-adhesive laminates block a large portion of UV rays, which is what causes ink to fade on unlaminated stickers.

For indoor use, laminated stickers will look the same for years. For outdoor use (car windows, bins, garden signs), expect longer life but not infinite life. Direct sun gradually degrades anything over enough time.

If you're selling stickers marketed as outdoor or weatherproof, laminate is essentially non-negotiable.
