Sticker types - what’s the difference?

Now, don’t get me wrong, I never said no when Mrs Roberts in second grade asked me to choose a smiley face sticker from her pad of 100, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t eyeing up the shiny star stickers on the other pad as well. Greedy? Nay. Just in awe of the prettiness. Little would I know, something bigger and better was waiting. Later in the year, I would receive the Principal’s Award - a certificate adorned with the biggest and shiniest gold foil AND embossed sticker…I honestly don’t remember the achievement, but that sticker!

Point is, there are many different sticker types out there, and it helps to know what they are because you might prefer one over the other. So for those of you who haven’t come across terms like die-cut or PET stickers,  I’ve put together a simple table of sticker terminologies.

This is by no means an exhaustive list but hopefully it's enough to help you wrap your head around the basics.
