A full breakdown of Sticker Genius materials including StickleMe®, Genius Vinyl, Clear Vinyl, Frosted Decals, Static Clings, 3M IJ40C, Floor Wraps, and more.
Why Choosing the Right Material Matters
Every sticker material performs differently depending on the surface, environment, and intended use. At Sticker Genius, each material is engineered for a specific purpose—from reusable wall graphics to weather-proof vehicle decals. Understanding these differences ensures your project looks professional and lasts as long as you need it to.
WALLS & INDOOR SURFACES
StickleMe® Reusable
Our signature material uses a unique adhesive-free technology that allows it to be stuck, removed, and restuck repeatedly. It’s ideal for kids' rooms, offices, classrooms, or seasonal décor. Because it’s residue-free, it’s the most forgiving material for frequent repositioning.
Removable Genius Vinyl
This material applies smoothly and removes cleanly, making it perfect for indoor décor or short-term displays. It’s thinner than StickleMe®, offering a sleek, modern finish.
Removable Genius Vinyl Premium
A thicker, more durable version with air-release channels for easier installation. This premium option is great for large wall graphics where bubble-free installation is important.
WINDOWS & GLASS
Clear Vinyl Decals
Clear decals offer a transparent, floating look—great for storefront windows, office entrances, or minimalist branding.
Frosted Window Decals
Provide an etched-glass appearance ideal for privacy areas, conference rooms, or upscale retail branding.
Static Clings
These cling to glass without adhesive and can be reapplied easily. Perfect for temporary promos, seasonal messages, or store hours.
Micro-Suction Clings
A modern cling material using tiny suction cells. It sticks to smooth surfaces without adhesive but has a more premium look than traditional static cling.
VEHICLES & OUTDOOR USE
3M Vinyl IJ40C (Permanent)
The industry standard for vehicle graphics and long-term outdoor applications. It features air-release technology for bubble-free installs and is designed to withstand weather, sun, and road conditions.
XTRA Strength High-Tack Vinyl
An aggressive adhesive designed for rough or demanding surfaces. Ideal for industrial equipment, textured plastics, or outdoor gear.
Removable Genius Vinyl Premium (Dual-Use)
A flexible option for those who want professional quality with easier removal. Works well for short- to medium-term vehicle graphics or signage that may need updating.
FLOORS & SIDEWALKS
Removable Floor Vinyl
Great for indoor events, trade shows, and short-term directional graphics. Applies easily and removes cleanly.
Textured Floor Vinyl
A slip-resistant, textured material ideal for busy walkways, gyms, schools, or retail.
Genius Floor Wrap
A thicker, durable material designed for large floor installations where full-coverage graphics are needed.
Concrete Conforming Vinyl
Designed for brick, asphalt, stone, and other uneven surfaces. When heat-applied, it conforms tightly for long-term outdoor use.
