How are holographic stickers made?

Holographic stickers are made from scratch as you order them. They are then printed, laminated and cut within four working days.

Are holographic stickers waterproof?

Yes, they are. Our holographic stickers are printed onto waterproof vinyl and laminated to resist water, scratches, oil and fading from sunlight.

Holographic stickers can be used in such conditions for up to one year without losing the sparkle.

50 = £44 (88p each)

100 = £56 (56p each)
