One of the most common questions I get at BeerOrders is: Should I use waterproof or single use stickers?
Choosing between waterproof or single use stickers depends on how durable you need your design to be. Let’s break it down in a simple, no‑nonsense way so you can pick the perfect sticker for your item, project, or gift.
🧼 Waterproof Stickers: Durable, Removable, and Made for Real Life
My waterproof stickers are designed for the places where life gets messy — water bottles, cups, tumblers, coolers, lunch boxes, and anywhere else you want a sticker that can get wet.
What makes them long lasting?
• Printed on premium waterproof vinyl
• Hand‑laminated for extra protection
• Can handle splashes, rain, condensation, even the dishwasher.
Where can I stick them?
On top of being dishwasher safe, these stickers are removable and can be repositioned without leaving residue. They’re great for
• Cars
• Mirrors
• Windows
• Laptops
• Tablets
• Phone Cases
• E-readers
And other important items.
Our waterproof vinyl stickers are the ones you want if you’re decorating something you use every day or something that might get wet. They’re durable, flexible, and built for grown‑up life.
Best for:
• Water bottles
• Laptops
• Coolers
• Car windows
• Tumblers
• Lunch boxes
• Anything that needs durability
📝 Single‑Use Paper Stickers: Perfect for Journals, Gifts, and Crafting
My single‑use stickers are printed on high‑quality sticker paper and laminated for durability. They are perfect for projects that don’t need waterproofing and items where they won’t need to be removed.
These are the stickers you think of when you think of your “average sticker”. They are cute, aesthetic, and single use.
What makes them single‑use?
•They’re paper, not vinyl
• They’re not waterproof
• They’re meant to be placed once and stay put
These stickers are especially loved by scrapbookers, journalers, and anyone who wants to add a little personality to cards, planners, or gift wrap.
Best for:
• Scrapbooks
• Junk journals
• Planners
• Greeting cards
•Gift tags
• Envelopes

🎯 Waterproof or Single Use Stickers: Which One Should You Choose?
If you want a sticker that can survive your water bottle, your car, or your chaotic adult life — go waterproof.
If you’re decorating a journal, planner, scrapbook, or gift — single‑use paper stickers are perfect.
Both options feature the same cute, funny adult‑themed designs you know and love… they’re just made for different moments.
💛 Why I Offer Both
Because not every sticker needs to survive a dishwasher cycle. And not every sticker needs to be permanent.
I want you to have the freedom to choose the right material for your project, your vibe, and your creativity — whether you’re decorating your Stanley cup or your scrapbook.
