The trick is figuring out which one is right for you. Decals and stickers are very similar. Oftentimes, they are used interchangeably. Decals, stickers, and labels are all comprised of two layers: a paper backing and an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer is placed on the paper backing (usually some form of wax paper or something equivalent) and the design is printed on the front of the adhesive layer. The adhesive layer can be made of a number of materials including vinyl, paper, and aluminum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-18527-102 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/qasigns-blog.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Crack-and-Peel-Back-Liner-01-6226-1.jpg\" alt=\"Peeling-Sticker-Decal\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1219px) 100vw, 1219px\">\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-rich-text-18527-108 bde-rich-text decoration-none breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>When it comes to buying decals, stickers, or something else like labels, there are a number of things to consider: intended use, size\/quantity, application surface\/location, and lifespan. Check out the table at the bottom of this post for a comprehensive guide to figure out which sticker\/decal is right for you.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-18527-109 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"bde-heading-18527-110 bde-heading\">\nIntended Use\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-div-18527-112 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-18527-113 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/qasigns-blog.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Contact-Information-5101.jpg\" alt=\"Window Decal\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4928px) 100vw, 4928px\"><div class=\"bde-div-18527-114 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-div-18527-116 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-rich-text-18527-117 bde-rich-text decoration-none breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Decals, labels, and stickers share many of the same qualities, but the key differences lie in their intended use.\u00a0<em>Typically<\/em>\u00a0stickers are used for logos and illustrations. Labels are used for more informative purposes such as product packaging. And decals are used for decoration or advertising purposes on floors, windows, walls, vehicles, etc..<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"bde-heading-18527-122 bde-heading\">\nSize\/Quantity\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-rich-text-18527-123 bde-rich-text decoration-none breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Stickers and labels are usually smaller in nature and applied to smaller products such as laptops, water bottles, and other product packaging. Decals, on the other hand, are usually larger and applied to things such as walls, windows, floors, and vehicles.<\/p><p>Because of their size, decals are usually ordered in smaller quantities. A business might order one wall decal for their wall and\/or one window decal for their window. Stickers are ordered in quantities of one to many. Businesses may want to buy stickers with their company\u2019s logo to hand out to employees or customers. Because of their intended use, labels are sold in rolls and come in large quantities.

With that said, there are a number of different types of decals. A decal that goes on the floor is different than a decal that would go on a wall and both of those are different than a decal that would go on a window. If you\u2019re looking for a decal\/sticker that can be used outdoors and is more permanent, check out our permanent decals.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-18527-127 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-image2-18527-128 bde-image2\" src=\"https:\/\/qasigns-blog.signs.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Laptops-01-6228.jpg\" alt=\"Sticker on Laptop\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1219px) 100vw, 1219px\"><div class=\"bde-div-18527-129 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-div-18527-130 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bde-rich-text-18527-131 bde-rich-text decoration-none breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Stickers are typically used for small format advertising. They are typically applied to smooth surfaces and can be easily removed. If you\u2019re looking for something that\u2019s easy to install, stickers are perfect. People like to decorate their laptops, notebooks, and water bottles in stickers.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-rich-text-18527-132 bde-rich-text decoration-none breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Labels are primarily used on product packaging: jars, cans, bags, bottles, etc. They come in rolls making them quick and easy to install on numerous items.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"bde-heading-18527-133 bde-heading\">\nLifespan\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-rich-text-18527-134 bde-rich-text decoration-none breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p>Another important factor to consider is lifespan. Decals last the longest, followed by stickers, and then labels. If you are looking for something that will last over a year, you will want to go with some type of decal. If you\u2019re looking for something that is small and quick and easy to install, you\u2019ll want to go with a sticker or label.<\/p>\n<\/div><h2 class=\"bde-heading-18527-135 bde-heading\">\nDecals, Stickers, and Labels\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-code-block-18527-136 bde-code-block\">\n\n  <figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table class=\"has-fixed-layout\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Product<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Intended Use<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Size<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Typical Quantity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Surface<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Indoor\/Outdoor<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Lifespan<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/wall-decals\/\">Wall Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Businesses, home decor<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Walls<\/td>\n<td>Indoor<\/td>\n<td>5+ Years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/wall-decals\/\">Repositionable Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Businesses, home decor<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Walls<\/td>\n<td>Indoor<\/td>\n<td>5+ Years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/window-decals\/\">Window Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Business<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Windows<\/td>\n<td>Indoor and Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>3+ Years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/vehicle-decals\/\">Vehicle Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Vehicles<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Glass, Metal, and Other Vehicle Materials<\/td>\n<td>Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>3+ Years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/floor-decals\/\">Floor Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Events, Businesses, Grocery Stores<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Floor- Hardwood, tile, laminate, concrete<\/td>\n<td>Indoor<\/td>\n<td>Varies Depending on Use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/carpet-stickers\/\">Carpet Stickers<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Events, Businesses<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Carpet\/Rug<\/td>\n<td>Indoor<\/td>\n<td>Varies Depending on Use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/street-and-sidewalk-decals\/\">Street and Sidewalk Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Storefronts, sidewalks, streets, events, etc<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Asphalt, Brick, Vinyl, Tile, Metal, Concrete, Stucco, Cinderblock<\/td>\n<td>Indoor and Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>1 Year<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/permanent-decals\/\">Permanent Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Industrial, Permanent<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Any Non-Porous Material<\/td>\n<td>Indoor and Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>5+ Years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/boat-lettering-and-decals\/\">Boat Decals<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Boat, Submerged in Water<\/td>\n<td>Small to Large<\/td>\n<td>Few<\/td>\n<td>Smooth Wood, Fiberglass<\/td>\n<td>Indoor and Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>5+ Years<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/roll-labels\/\">Roll Labels<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Products, Packaging<\/td>\n<td>Small<\/td>\n<td>Many<\/td>\n<td>Glass, Metal, Cardboard, Plastic<\/td>\n<td>Indoor<\/td>\n<td>Varies Depending on Use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/bumper-stickers\/\">Bumper Stickers<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Vehicle Bumpers<\/td>\n<td>Small<\/td>\n<td>Many<\/td>\n<td>Vehicles<\/td>\n<td>Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>Varies Depending on Use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.signs.com\/stickers\/\">Stickers<\/a><\/td>\n<td>Laptops, Water Bottles, Notebooks, etc<\/td>\n<td>Small<\/td>\n<td>Many<\/td>\n<td>Smooth and Flat Surfaces<\/td>\n<td>Indoor and Outdoor<\/td>\n<td>Varies Depending on Use<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section><\/main>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re asking what\u2019s the difference between decals and stickers, you\u2019re probably looking to buy one.
