FAQs
Q: Is this glossy vinyl sticker paper waterproof?
A: Yes, it's water-resistant once printed with glossy settings and fully dried. For long-term durability or outdoor use, we recommend applying a laminate layer.
Q: Can I use this with my Cricut or Silhouette cutting machine?
A: Absolutely. This paper is fully compatible with Cricut, Silhouette, Siser Juliet, Brother and other desktop cutting machines.
Q: Is this vinyl suitable for inkjet or laser printers?
A: It is designed specifically for inkjet printers. But can be used with Laser Printers too!
Q: Do I need to laminate the stickers after printing?
A: Lamination is optional. For everyday indoor use, it’s not required — but for waterproofing or heavy handling, a clear laminate sheet will protect the design.
Q: Does the adhesive work on all surfaces?
A: It sticks well to most clean, smooth surfaces like plastic, glass, paper, and packaging. We recommend testing on textured or coated surfaces.
Q: How thick is the sheet once printed and laminated?
A: The vinyl itself is thin and flexible. When laminated with a standard 80–100 micron overlay, the final thickness is about 0.15–0.2mm — still great for cutting machines.
