Do you have old, damaged stickers left on your car, water bottle or laptop? Here at Carstickers.com we use top grade vinyl stickers that come with air-egress technology to keep the sticker removal process fast and simple. However, not all companies use this type of sticker, so we wanted to provide you with this handy guide to help you remove any sticker from any surface.

To start, it is important to note what kind of material your sticker is stuck on. Materials such as glass or stainless steel will allow you to use different techniques and tools than a laptop or car door while removing a sticker. For example, we would not recommend using a box cutter or excessive window cleaner on your car paint or electronics. While there are many wacky tips and suggestions for how to remove stickers from peanut butter and mayonnaise to baking soda and vinegar, we have found over the years that this simple step by step method will remove almost any sticker.

Method 1: Heat

STEP 1
Using a hair dryer or other heat source, heat the sticker slowly, starting in the middle and working your way out to the edges. Be sure not to heat the sticker too fast as you might accidentally burn or melt the adhesive onto the surface underneath.

STEP 2
Using a plastic card such as a gift card or hotel key, start at one corner and gently push the sticker off of the surface. It is important to have a firm grip on the card and apply enough pressure to remove the corner.

STEP 3
Grab the corner of the sticker and pull it towards the rest of the sticker. The lower the angle here the better. If you pull the sticker at a 90 degree angle there is a higher chance of ripping or tearing the sticker and leaving more residue on your material’s surface.

STEP 4
After you have pulled off most of the sticker using heat and the plastic scraper, spray the area with window cleaner. Then use wet wipes or a soft cloth to rub off the remaining adhesive. If the sticker was pulled off of car paint then buff the area with car wax.

Method 2: Rubbing Alcohol

STEP 1
The materials you will need for this method will be a +90% based rubbing alcohol, some cotton balls, and a plastic card or razor blade.

STEP 2
Dab the rubbing alcohol on the cotton balls. Once they are wet but not overly soaked, rub the surface of the sticker until it starts to soak up some of the rubbing alcohol.

STEP 3
Let the sticker sit for 5 to 10 minutes while the rubbing alcohol soaks in. If you notice the surface of the sticker is to dry, just add some more rubbing alcohol while continuing to let it soak. When you’re ready, simply pull off the sticker!

STEP 4
Using your plastic card or razor blade (only use a razor blade on hard surfaces such as glass), scrape off any remaining sticker and adhesive.

The right sticker size depends on its use. For example, a small sticker can go on a water bottle, while a larger sticker works well on a laptop. Popular sizes include: 3x3 square labels, 4x4 square labels, 1x1 circles, 2x2 inches, and 3.5 x 2 inches.

Here are some tips for choosing sticker sizes:

• Type: Printed stickers can be as small as 0.5"x 0.5" when placed on a sheet. Transfer stickers need to be significantly larger depending on the complexity of the design since it will be cut out of vinyl and have the background removed.
• Size of your design: Simple designs without text can fit on a 2x2 inch circle sticker. More detailed designs with text should go on a larger sticker, at least 3.5 x 2 inches.
• Use: Product labels need to fit their containers, decals should be large enough to be seen from a distance, and branding stickers should be eye-catching but not too big.
• Shape: A 3x3 inch sticker is a versatile size that works in many places.

Pricing for custom stickers is based on three factors: the material, the size, and the quantity ordered. Once you make these selections on the product details page, you will see the price. You can adjust any of these options to see the updated pricing.

Print ready artwork means that the file you are using is the same size, color, and quality that you want your final sticker to be. If you are confused about what your sticker size and quality are, please review our DPI and SIZE FAQ page. Does the image you are submitting fall into what the printer needs to make a high quality sticker for you? Here at CarStickers.com we can print up to 1000dpi in full color, but if you have your image at 300dpi and at the size you want output or if you have true vector art then we should be able to reproduce what you need.

Common factors that prevent a layout file from being Print-Ready

• Document sized improperly.
• Colors set to RGB instead of CMYK.
• Spot colors not properly defined.
• Resolution not high enough (should be minimum 300 dpi at 100% size).
• Missing fonts or images.
• Poor contrast between text and background.
• Spelling and grammar errors.

At Carstickers.com, we measure and price all our stickers based on square inches. The easiest way to figure out the square inches of a sticker is to multiply the width by the height. For example, a sticker that is 4”W x 4”H (4 inches wide and 4 inches high), and a sticker that is 2”W x 8”H (2 inches wide and 8 inches high), will cost the same because they are both 16 square inches.

These measurements are based on the widest and tallest areas of the sticker's shape when a straight line is measured from left to right and top to bottom.

Please note: The measurements are taken when the design is upright and in the same position as it will be applied. This ensures the sticker you order will fit in the space intended. In theory, a diamond-shaped sticker could be rotated 45 degrees and measured as a square, but a 3”x3” diamond and a 3”x3” square rotated 45 degrees are not the same size and will not fit in the same space.
