I love stickers and am grateful to have been making and working with them for over 15 years! Each design available at GATOSHOP has been chosen and tested by me for you to enjoy (＾∇＾)ﾉ✧｡･*･

⭐️ DURABILITY and WATERPROOF sticker resistance are rated on the following scale:
💯 Best quality
✅ Very good quality
🆗 Good quality
❌ Not applicable

⭐️ MATERIALS
✴️ VINYL: The best sticker material! It is a highly durable, thick kind of plastic that is printed and then laminated (sealed with a protective film on top). You can put these stickers anywhere– they are made to survive the apocalypse!
✴️ PVC: Another kind of plastic used for stickers. PVC has a wide variety of finishes with varying degrees durability, from the best hard plastic, thick stickers to soft sponge 3D stickers to the most common plastic stickers, which are often transparent. This is what most deco stickers are made of, and even though it is a waterproof material, it tends to not be so durable since it's not always laminated– and so the print can start to scratch off with use! We suggest you put them inside your phone case or anywhere else that either protects your sticker somehow or is not subject to much friction.
✴️ EPOXY: A resin made out of hard plastic that can be used to make super durable stickers! It has a characteristic bubble-like 3D finish that looks really cool, and can be mixed with glitter for an extra sparkly effect. Only downsides to this material are that it only sticks to flat surfaces, as it is not flexible, and also that it tends to take a yellow tint after long periods of sun exposure!
✴️ PAPER: The least durable of all materials, these stickers can have a lovely texture, but unless they are laminated, they are best used for journaling or just to be kept in your collection ♡

⭐️ DIY lamination
You can protect your unlaminated PVC and paper stickers by simply covering them with a piece of tape or clear adhesive vinyl! You can also use nail polish (clear or with glitter) but be careful to do a test before you ruin your favourite sticker, since some inks can react to the varnish and melt the print off!
