Bird Cloth Sticker

Bird cloth stickers are decorative adhesive designs featuring images of birds, typically applied to various surfaces. They are utilized for aesthetic enhancement, personalization, and creative expression.

Material

These stickers are commonly constructed from several materials:

• Vinyl: A durable and water-resistant plastic, suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Offers good longevity and resistance to fading.
• Paper: Less expensive than vinyl, often coated with an adhesive backing and laminate for some protection. Generally for indoor use only.
• Fabric: Employing cloth as the base material provides a unique texture and appearance. May be less durable than vinyl but offer a softer aesthetic. Often used for decorative purposes on clothing or fabric items.
