What type of surface can I apply my decals / stickers to?Simply apply to any flat and smooth surface.
-
Can I put my labels (decals / stickers) in the dishwasher?Our labels are waterproof and dishwasher safe, however there are lots of variables when it comes to putting them in the dishwasher. The lifespan of your labels can depend on the surface it is applied to, the preparation of the surface when adhering your labels, the temperature of your dishwasher and if you have purchased from our high performance vinyl range. Applied to a stainless steel surface is highly likely to sustain a dishwasher over plastic, and high quality plastics are more likely to sustain a dishwasher over cheaper plastics. If you do want to put them in the dishwasher, make sure you leave them to cure for a couple of weeks first, as this allows more time for the glue to do it's thing. Because of the variables we do recommend handwashing to ensure a long life of your decal.

Is your vinyl waterproof?Yes. All our decals and stickers are made from vinyl, so are therefore waterproof.
