4 Things To Know About Wall Stickers

All of us want to be smart shoppers and get the best value for our dollar. We thought it might be helpful to clear up some of the confusion about types of wall decals stickers and how to choose a quality product.

At times, customers contact us with questions or problems about their wall decals stickers, especially those bought from competitors. After visiting with these customers, we knew the product they were dealing with was not ours, but we still wanted to help. Some of these problems included:

• struggling to remove a sticker that was pulling off the paint (see #2 and #3 below);
• not knowing how to apply a sticker printed on sticky plastic instead of being die-cut (see #4)

Here are 4 important things to know about wall stickers so you can make a smart choice:

1. Always read application instructions before you purchase. These will inform you about how well the product is made. If the manufacturer is sending you a film to apply to the sticker yourself, that's a real red flag–a reputable wall sticker manufacturer has already applied this transfer film to the wall sticker. If you have to do this yourself and don't have a lot of experience, you may get wrinkles, crooked lettering, etc., making a quality wall sticker application nearly impossible. We often see this type of problem on wall stickers from China and Hong Kong.

2. Check to be sure that the material is designed for Home Décor use. Vinyl stickers for signage existed a long time before Home Décor wall stickers became popular. Stickers for signs need super strong adhesive to withstand outdoor elements–PLUS they need to be glossy to attract attention. Neither Glossy nor Strong Adhesive types are advised for Home Décor use.

3. Select a Matte finish for the best Home Décor application. The non-shiny look of a Matte finish wall decals stickers allows it to look like a custom paint application once put on to your wall. All high-quality wall stickers have this Matte finish.

4. Make sure the item is a Die-cut Decal; you don't want just an image printed on sticky plastic. This is a deal-breaker! A die-cut decal has no background permanently attached to it or surrounding it (ie. no sticky clear plastic), just the vinyl die-cut lettering/design that will go on the wall. Some cheap wall decals stickers are not actually decals – they are just a design printed on thin plastic material with a sticky coating, which does not adhere well to anything except smooth surfaces. Plus, the clear plastic looks tacky on your wall.
