What are the best stickers for laptops?

Not just any sticker can be a laptop sticker. Laptop stickers need to be durable enough to withstand bumps and the occasional spill of coffee or water. Yet, you don’t want them to ruin your laptop (more on that in a bit).

That’s why laptop stickers should always come with a medium-strength adhesive and a durable base. You can see a breakdown of each layer below:

• 1st layer: glossy lamination to protect your design from scratches, water, chemicals, and oils
• 2nd layer: your design, printed with the world’s best digital printer
• 3rd layer: the material you chose
• 4th layer: a permanent, medium-strength, pressure-sensitive adhesive
• 5th layer: thick backing paper to make your stickers easy to peel

To make that super easy, you can find the best and most popular laptop materials on our stickers page. You can choose from different looks like white vinyl, clear, holographic, silver, gold, and glitter to create just the effect you’re after.

Can vinyl stickers go on laptops?

Yes, vinyl stickers are perfect for laptops. Vinyl materials are strong enough to resist scratches, bumps, and water.

What is the best size for laptop stickers?

That depends on the area you want your stickers to cover.

If you want to create a laptop skin, it has to cover your entire laptop. But if you want to sticker bomb your laptop or just add a few cool designs, you’re more flexible when it comes to sizing.

We recommend any size between 2 inches and 4.75 inches at any aspect ratio. This ensures you can fit plenty of stickers on your laptop and also guarantees that your amazing designs will be legible and stand out.
