What is the difference in printing effect between matte and glossy A4 stickers?

There are significant differences in the printing effect between matte and glossy A4 stickers, mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1、 Color expression

Matte adhesive: The color of the printed effect is relatively normal, similar to the effect printed on ordinary A4 paper. However, matte materials may bring some small noise, making the overall texture not particularly delicate.

Smooth adhesive: The color of the printed effect may appear slightly yellowish or grayish, presenting a vintage or old style. But the glossy design can make the printing effect clearer and sharper.

2、 Reflectivity

Matte surface adhesive: Due to its matte texture, it can avoid the trouble caused by reflection, making the printed text and patterns look softer and more natural.

Smooth surface adhesive: It has strong reflectivity. If the surrounding light is strong, the text and patterns on the smooth surface adhesive may be difficult to read or recognize due to reflection.

3、 Texture and touch

Matte adhesive: The matte texture makes the matte adhesive more delicate in touch and gives a sense of luxury.

Smooth surface adhesive: Although smooth surface design can bring clear printing effect, the touch may not be as delicate as matte adhesive.

4、 Applicable scenarios

Matte adhesive: More suitable for scenes that require avoiding reflection, pursuing high-end and delicate touch, such as making clothing labels, packaging marks or document classification labels.

Smooth adhesive: More suitable for scenes that require clear and sharp printing effects, although there may be reflective issues, in some cases (such as indoor environments with weak lighting) it may not affect reading and recognition.

In summary, there is a significant difference in the printing effect between matte and glossy A4 stickers, and the choice of which type of sticker to use depends on the specific application scenario and requirements. If you need to avoid reflection, pursue luxury and delicate touch, matte adhesive is a better choice; If a clear and sharp printing effect is needed, glossy stickers are more suitable.
