The name vinyl originally came from polyvinyl chloride, or PVC
However, we at Sticker Printing Direct, like most other vinyl sticker makers, have moved on to using polypropylene (PP) vinyl instead.
Why? Because PVC contains chlorine, which is a toxic gas. If you burned a PVC vinyl sticker, it would release harmful toxins. However, with PP, its main elements are carbon and hydrogen, so burning it would only release water and carbon dioxide.
Polypropylene vinyl stickers are therefore much safer for people and the environment. Polypropylene is also 100% recyclable (unlike PVC) and still has all the properties ideal for stickers and decals:
- Waterproof
- Weatherproof
- UV-resistant
- Tear-resistant
- Scratch-resistant
- A smooth print surface for enhanced print sharpness
- Generally tough and durable
What about paper vs vinyl for stickers?
While paper can be more cost-effective, it’s nowhere near as durable or waterproof as polypropylene vinyl. For example, a personalized vinyl sticker will usually peel off a surface in one piece, whereas paper is likely to rip and even leave a messy residue that has to be scraped off.
Custom uses
Printed vinyl stickers are perfect for promotional materials to advertise any product, service, business, brand or event. They also provide a quality finish ideal for logo or merchandizing purposes.
They can also be used for information and signage, where the vinyl’s extra-durable properties make them ideal for years of indoor or outdoor use. And as we offer any shape, size and finish, you’ll be able to tailor your stickers and decals to your exact needs.
