Substance 2755

This is what Everyday Stickers run on.

It's also the film behind our long-term Wall Murals — same painted-on look and adhesion, just bigger.

2.75 mil — our thinnest sticker, and the most-ordered stock in the shop.

Thin enough to disappear into the surface. It's the "looks painted on" stock.

Rated to resist yellowing and fading for up to 7 years outdoors, before any ink ever touches it.

That's the blank film's own lifespan. In practice, the print sitting on top fades long before the vinyl underneath does.

Roland rates our UV inks for one year outdoors, unprotected. A full gloss varnish finish pushes that to two.

We're blowing past that number for the stickers we've got on the test mule — aka the boss's work truck.

It depends on the life your sticker's actually living. Car in a garage: longer. Laptop in a bag: longer. Water bottle getting its eardrums blown out by the speakers at Orange Theory class every day? If it's indoors, that's basically forever. UV ink gets brittle as it ages, so on a flat surface inside, you're looking at a long time. On a heavily curved surface outdoors, less.

100% polymeric, not the cheaper blended vinyl a lot of shops cut corners with.

Holds its dimensions instead of shrinking and cracking at the edges a few months in, the way bargain vinyl does.

It's a hard-cured shell straight off the printer, not a soft ink that needs babying.

Keys, coins, a backpack full of textbooks — this stuff shrugs off the everyday scuffs a sticker actually runs into.

Broad adhesion — drywall, low-VOC paint, metal, glass, most plastics.

Translation: laptops, Stanleys, windows, walls. If it's smooth-ish, this sticks to it.
