Stickers – Sticker Printing – Lamination & Contour Cutting

Vinyl Stickers by RCS printers in Oakham sticker sheets custom printed using the latest digital printing technology & organic solvent ink because your satisfaction is our number one priority.

As standard these stickers are waterproof & abrasion resistant. When stickers are to be used in more extreme, harsher environments or in contact with more aggressive chemicals then we would suggest using lamination.

Vinyl Sticker Sheets – Supplied A5

Stickers produced on quality 70micron vinyl with a permanent blockout grey adhesive. Removable and high tack (100micron) versions use a clear adhesive. Gloss finish for all 3. Matt finish for these non laminated vinyl stickers available only in permanent clear adhesive. 5 year gloss white premium calendered vinyl.

These stickers are supplied on sheets and allow for multiple designs per sheet. RCS recommend a minimum sticker size of 2 x 2cm due to the tolerances of the cutting technology. In house Graphtec cutters provide the latest technology for cutting your sticker sheets but everything has its limits.

Sticker Sheets – Adhesive Options

General adhesive types – Permanent, Removable, High Tack

Removable adhesive has 3 times less bond than permanent adhesive and is therefore more easily removed without leaving adhesive residue.

Permanent adhesive will bond over time and the sticker may be difficult to remove after being insitu for some time. Removing them can be made easier by applying heat (e.g. a hairdryer or heatgun) to them.  The heat loosens up the adhesive allowing them to be peeled off more easily.

Removable stickers can generally be removed easily within the first 12 months of initial application to a surface.  Within this time they can normally be removed without leaving any adhesive residue. They can be repositioned, although each reposition can reduce the overall bond life of the sticker.

After 12 months, however, the removable property diminishes and the sticker becomes like a permanent sticker and more difficult to remove.

High tack sticker adhesive helps stick to tricky low density surfaces – plastic containers, MX parts etc

Lamination

RCS protective lamination adds an extra layer and even more protection and quality to your sticker. It is available in either matt or gloss.

You would normally laminate a digitally printed sticker to protect against:

• heavy abrasion or scratching
• solvent cleaners and other chemicals
• or quite simply to add a more luxurious appearance / feel to your decal

Here you can choose whether you want your stickers to have a gloss (shiny), or a matt (glare free) finish.

Customers most often choose gloss.  However, the matte stickers are becoming more popular and look very stylish, authentic and classy.

Please note: The matt stickers tend to have a shorter outdoor life than the vinyl gloss stickers
