How long will your stickers last?

Indoors and out of direct sunlight, they hold up to everyday handling for a long time. They aren't UV resistant, though, so direct sun fades the inks, and they aren't made for outdoor use. They're meant for things like laptops, notebooks, phone cases and water bottles, not cars, bikes or anything that lives outside.

Every sticker is vinyl with a protective laminate that makes it water resistant and helps it handle everyday rubbing. Most wear comes from sunlight, heat, soaking and friction over time.

To get the most out of them:

• Apply to a clean, dry, smooth surface. Glass, metal and hard plastic hold best.
• Keep them out of direct sun, including a sunny windowsill.
• Wait 24 hours before washing the item.
• Hand wash bottles and mugs, don't leave them soaking, and keep them out of the dishwasher.
• Press down any edge that starts to lift before it catches on something.
