Stamp, sticker, and paper tape, which one do you prefer?

The main decorations of the hand account can be divided into three categories: seals, tapes and stickers. This article will briefly introduce some stickers.

There is not much difference between stickers and tapes in terms of properties. In fact, many decorative patterns are available for sale. Both stickers and tapes are sold at the same time. However, depending on the material and use occasions, there are still subtle differences between different styles of stickers. Here is a brief introduction, hoping to help you buy stickers.

The advantage of stickers is that they are cut in advance and are easy to use.

In terms of convenience, stickers definitely beat seals and tape. Most of the stickers have been cut in advance, and only need to be peeled off the release paper when using. The sticker materials currently on the market are roughly divided into the following types:

The most traditional sticker-the most common sticker, without transparency. The advantage is that the pattern has high definition and the color is relatively saturated. The disadvantage is that it has high viscosity and does not have the properties of repeated pasting.

Cellophane stickers-a sticker with the highest transparency, the advantage is naturally the low traces brought by high transparency. The disadvantage is also because the transparency is too high, it is easy to leave fingerprints when peeling off. The viscosity of this kind of sticker is between that of the traditional sticker, but because of its high transparency, it will easily bring paper scraps once it is torn off, so it does not have the property of repeated pasting.

The second advantage is low repeatability and less aesthetic fatigue.

Stickers are fast consumables. Unless they are deliberately hoarded, they are generally unlikely to accumulate such as tape or seals. There are many kinds of sticker packs on the market, and the update speed is fast, just like the fast fashion in the stationery industry, it is not easy to cause aesthetic fatigue.

Stickers also have shortcomings, but apart from the release paper will produce garbage, the stickers seem to have no obvious shortcomings.

The scene where the stickers are used is a big book. To post a beautiful hand account, paper space is a must. Like A6 or smaller mini size, it is basically difficult to have room for stickers. Of course, this is not to say that stickers are not suitable for small-sized handbooks, but that considering both functionality and aesthetics, large-sized handbooks are more suitable, at least not crowded.

Although there are functional stickers for sale, I still feel that the stickers are most suitable for use in logbooks, or the kind of handbooks that you can sit down and make slowly. Scheduled accounts or fast-paced Bujo accounts are not suitable for using too many stickers. If it is a manual account that pays special attention to a neat format, the small stickers will increase the difficulty of the layout. So personally, compared to small functional stickers, decorative stickers with large patterns are more cost-effective.
