What are silver foil stickers?
The silver foil will be printed onto our highly-transparent material. You can choose the placement of the foil depending on your design.
If you'd like to print on white, please visit our mirror silver stickers page. We use white ink on the silver material to achieve that effect.
Foiled stickers are resistant to water, chemicals, scratches, and fading in sunlight.
A laminate over the printed layer makes these stickers suitable for long-term use.
Silver foil stickers get cut digitally in any shape around your design.
You can choose any size from 2cm-70cm wide, up to 500cm long for your stickers
All foil stickers are finished with a clear gloss over-laminate that protects the printed layer and keeps your stickers looking shiny.
Foil stickers are not created with ink but with metallic foils. This means your design can only have one color, namely the color of your chosen foil.
The product images show you some great examples.

Product reviews
Silver foil vs. other premium finishes
Silver foil adds a bright, reflective finish that shifts with the light. It gives the artwork more depth than a flat metallic print. Its cool, neutral tone works with almost any color palette, unlike gold foil's warmer tone or holographic's shifting rainbow effect, so it's the more subtle choice when you want luxury without the artwork changing color as it catches the light.
Designing for silver foil
Silver only shows where you don't print color over it, so the finish comes from what you leave unprinted as much as what you add. Using it for the whole background, or just a border or logo mark, and leaving the rest for full color, usually reads as more deliberate than covering the entire sticker in metallic.
Dark colors, black, charcoal, navy, emerald, burgundy, create the strongest contrast against silver and make the metallic areas read brighter. Lighter palettes give a softer, more minimalist effect. Either way, keep fine lines and small text out of the foil areas. Detail that's crisp in solid color can lose definition once it's reflective, so bold shapes and clean edges hold up better.
FAQs
How is silver foil different from a standard metallic silver print?
Foil reflects light directly, so it looks brighter and shifts more as the angle changes. A standard metallic print is flatter and more consistent from every angle, less striking, but more predictable for detailed artwork.
Can I combine silver foil with full-color printing?
Yes. Foil and full color can sit on the same sticker, so part of your design stays metallic while the rest prints in color.
Are silver foil stickers waterproof?
Yes, when finished with a laminate. Without one, moisture can dull the reflective finish over time, so laminate is worth adding for anything going on a bottle, jar, or anywhere it'll get wet.
Can they handle outdoor use?
With a UV-resistant laminate, yes, though direct sun will fade any metallic finish faster than it fades flat color. For short-term promotional use it's not a concern, for permanent outdoor branding, ask about our heavy-duty material instead.
What file format should I upload?
Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) give the cleanest foil edges, since sharp boundaries matter more here than on a flat print. High-res PNG works for simpler designs.
Can silver foil stickers be removed cleanly?
On glass, plastic, and other smooth surfaces, yes, with little to no residue. Rougher or porous surfaces are more likely to leave some adhesive behind.
