Difference Between Glossy, Matte and Transparent Stickers
Traditional paper stickers are made of mainly low-profile materials and have an additional layer to create their final finish. Although paper stickers are vulnerable to such elements as moisture or the influence of direct sun rays, they will work for those who don’t want overly bright stickers and would prefer calmer options with a matte finish. There are two other options for both kinds of stickers to take into account:
- Glossy layouts include an additional white border around the entire design. Its width is usually about ⅛ inch, but this dimension can be adjusted. Whether you make extra-large stickers of 14 × 14 inches or small varieties of 2.85 × 3.80 inches, this solution is still valid.
- The main difference between glossy and transparent stickers lies in the tone of their border. In this case, the latter is colorless. Such transparent elements of your artwork are perfect for resting ornaments for plastic or glass surfaces.
