What are Matte Paper Stickers?
Matte Paper Stickers are made from uncoated paper with a smooth, non-shiny finish. They have a natural, paper-like feel and are designed to be easy to write on.
They’re the most straightforward option in the range. Simple, tactile, and focused on everyday indoor use.
Is this the right choice for you?
This works well if you’re:
- Labeling products for indoor use
- Writing on stickers (notes, names, dates, packaging details)
- Looking for a recyclable, plastic-free option
- Going for a more natural or understated look
Compared to vinyl stickers, these feel more like traditional paper and are easier to remove. Compared to coated paper stickers, they have no shine and a softer, more tactile finish.
When to consider something else
You might want a different option if:
- You need full waterproof protection (vinyl or coated paper is better)
- Your stickers will be outdoors long-term
- You want a glossy or more polished finish
- You need something highly durable

How they compare
- Compared to coated paper stickers, these are less water-resistant but more natural in feel
- Compared to vinyl stickers, these are less durable but easier to remove and more environmentally friendly
- Compared to metallic stickers, these focus on simplicity rather than visual impact
If you want something minimal and practical, this is usually the right place to start.
Customization: what to expect
- Printed using water-based ink
- The uncoated surface gives a softer, slightly muted look to colors
- Easy to write on with pen or marker
Because there’s no coating, your design will feel more like printed paper than a sticker with a finish layer.
