Vinyl

Substance EM3

Comes off clean.

← Materials

Most vinyl fights you when it's time to take it off. EM3 runs a touch thicker than our standard 2.75 mil film, enough that you can actually get a finger under an edge and lift the whole thing off in one piece. The adhesive is built the same way, formulated to let go when you're done with it.

Good to know

What's inside a removable sticker.

Where we use it

Removable Stickers and Temporary Murals run on this stuff.

Throw it up, take it down when you're done. No muss, no fuss.

UV printed

We've made sure the ink is a lot less temporary than any temporary sticker assignment you can think of.

Gloss only

We only print these on gloss, because EM3 only comes in gloss.

Thickness

3 mil — just enough thicker than 2755 that you can get a thumb under an edge.

That's the whole trick to peeling something off in one piece instead of picking at it in shreds.

The adhesive

Substance pumped the brakes on the tack here, compared to the rest of the lineup.

Less grip going down means it lets go clean when you're done with it — no residue, no torn backing left behind.

Outdoor life

Calling it "temporary" undersells it a little — it's rated for up to 4 years outdoors.

Plenty of time to get the word out about your event, and no residue once it's time to stop promoting the ice bucket challenge.

If you complain that these temporary stickers start fading and falling after 5 years, we'll probably ask you to come over and talk about OUR commitment issues.

The film itself

A polymeric hybrid, not the water-based-adhesive stuff most economy vinyl leans on.

Lays flat and holds its shape instead of curling and shrinking the way cheap vinyl does.

Where it sticks

Broad adhesion, same wide range of surfaces as the rest of the lineup.

Laptops, boxes, swag, windows. Goes on just as easy. Comes off without the fight.

Avoid the low-energy plastics though — Yeti coolers, those black totes with yellow lids we've all bought in bulk at Costco and Home Depot. This stuff won't hold on those.
