Choosing Between Gloss and Matte Sticker Finishing: A Practical Guide

Graphix TeamPublished 2026-06-27Reviewed 2026-08-11

Gloss, matte, and lamination are separate choices, and they are not available on every Graphix product. Always use the controls on the selected product page as the current source of truth.

Where gloss and matte are currently available

The Non Adhesive Photo Paper configurator currently includes a Surface Look choice with Gloss and Matte options. It also has a separate Lamination choice with No and Yes options.

This means the selected surface look and the lamination selection should be reviewed separately when configuring photo paper.

What this means for stickers

The current PVC sticker, transparent sticker, and static cling product pages do not show general gloss or matte lamination controls. Do not assume that a laminate finish is included or available for those products unless the relevant configurator is updated to show it.

Use the sticker product catalogue to compare the choices that are actually available, such as adhesion, cutting shape, side options, and print direction.

Confirm the estimate

After choosing the available options, review the live price shown by the configurator. For photo paper, lamination eligibility can also depend on the selected standard size, so rely on the options and validation shown on the product page.
