Vinyl Stickers

The main difference between regular and vinyl stickers is the material they’re made from. Regular stickers are typically made from paper and are vulnerable to weather changes, while vinyl stickers are generally stronger and more resistant to tearing. Vinyl stickers are wall decals and are cut with a Vinyl cutting plotter. These vinyl stickers are also known as tattoos, vinyl or wall stickers, They can be used to decorate a room, for commercial use as a sign.
