PVC Material
Appearance Performance
Glossiness: It has a high gloss level, capable of presenting a bright golden color that is vivid and full, with a strong visual impact. Choose those with a glossy appearance because a glossy look is more aesthetically pleasing, and as a label, it is more attractive. Besides, when selecting materials, try to choose those with high gloss as much as possible, because labels rely on their good-looking appearance to attract consumers.
Three-dimensional Effect: Through special printing and embossing processes, a good 3D three-dimensional effect can be achieved. The patterns and textures on the surface of the sticker have obvious concavities and convexities, creating a realistic three-dimensional visual experience. This three-dimensional texture can give consumers a sense of high quality, thus enhancing their desire to purchase the product.
Physical Properties
Flexibility: It has a soft texture, good elasticity and flexibility. It can be easily bent and folded, closely adhering to the surfaces of various shapes of objects, including curved and irregular surfaces, and is not prone to cracking or damage. Regarding the physical flexibility of the material, try to choose those materials with better flexibility as much as possible, because materials with better flexibility can provide consumers with a better texture and a better tactile feeling.
Abrasion Resistance: It has certain abrasion resistance and is not easily scratched or worn during daily use, maintaining the smoothness and integrity of the surface and extending the service life of the sticker. This physical flexibility also means it is relatively abrasion-resistant, which well meets the need for long-term use during the application process.
Chemical Properties
Water Resistance: It has excellent waterproof performance and is not easily penetrated by water. Even if it comes into contact with water for a long time, it can maintain stable performance, and will not deform, fade or lose its adhesiveness due to water absorption. In addition, this water resistance is generally quite suitable for use in skin care products. Because consumers use skin care products after washing their faces and will come into contact with water, using this PVC material is a better choice. Even if it gets wet, there is no need to worry about it falling off.
Corrosion Resistance: It has good tolerance to common chemical substances and is not easily eroded by chemical substances such as acids and alkalis, maintaining good performance under different environmental conditions.
PET Material
Appearance Performance
Glossiness: It has extremely high transparency and excellent golden gloss. The presented golden color is more brilliant and dazzling, giving people a sense of high-end and luxury, and effectively enhancing the decorative effect.
Three-dimensional Effect: With the help of advanced printing and processing technologies, a very fine and realistic 3D three-dimensional effect can be achieved. The edges of the patterns are clear, with rich layers and a strong three-dimensional sense.
Physical Properties
Strength: It has high strength and hardness, is not easily torn or deformed, and can withstand a certain degree of stretching and extrusion, and is not easily damaged during the processes of handling, installation and use.
Flatness: The material itself has a high degree of flatness. After pasting, it can closely adhere to the surface of the object without bubbles or wrinkles, ensuring the beauty of the sticker and the presentation of the three-dimensional effect.
Chemical Properties
Weather Resistance: It has excellent weather resistance, can adapt to various harsh outdoor environments, such as high temperature, low temperature, ultraviolet radiation, etc., is not prone to fading or aging, and can maintain the vividness of the golden color and the stability of the 3D effect for a long time.
Chemical Resistance: It has good tolerance to a variety of chemical substances, can resist the erosion of substances such as oils and detergents, and is not prone to chemical reactions that affect the performance and appearance of the sticker.
Paper Material
Appearance Performance
Glossiness: The golden gloss of paper stickers is usually relatively soft, presenting a matte or semi-matte effect. This texture can create a unique retro and warm atmosphere, which is suitable for some decorative needs that pursue individuality or a specific style.
Three-dimensional Effect: Through special printing processes, such as embossing and hot stamping, a certain degree of concavity and convexity can be formed on the surface of the paper, creating a three-dimensional effect with a sense of hierarchy. However, compared with PVC and PET materials, the three-dimensional effect of paper stickers is relatively weak, and it pays more attention to the combination of planar patterns and three-dimensional elements.
Physical Properties
Flexibility: The paper material is light and soft in texture, with good flexibility, making it easy to fold, cut and paste. It can easily adapt to the surfaces of objects of various shapes and sizes, especially suitable for handicrafts and some scenarios that require fine operations.
Hygroscopicity: Paper has a certain degree of hygroscopicity. In a humid environment, it is easy to absorb moisture and become damp, which may affect the adhesiveness and overall performance of the sticker. Therefore, attention should be paid to keeping the storage environment dry.
Chemical Properties
Water Resistance: Generally speaking, the water resistance of paper stickers is poor. They are easily soaked, deformed or even damaged when exposed to water, so they are not suitable for use in wet or water-prone environments.
Chemical Resistance: It has relatively weak resistance to chemical substances and is easily contaminated and eroded by substances such as acids, alkalis and oils, resulting in color changes or damage to the paper.
In comprehensive comparison, if you pursue good durability in various environments, excellent glossiness and a strong three-dimensional effect, the PET material is a better choice, especially suitable for scenarios with high requirements for quality and long-term effects, such as outdoor advertisements and high-end product packaging. If you are more sensitive to costs, and the usage scenarios are mainly indoors, and you don’t have a particularly high requirement for the three-dimensional effect, while also hoping that the sticker has better flexibility and a unique texture, then the paper material can meet some specific decorative and handicraft needs. The PVC material is in between, performing more evenly in some indoor and outdoor decoration scenarios that have certain requirements for water resistance and abrasion resistance and are on a limited budget.
