Printing Banana recommends black-back vehicle stickers when old stickers or adhesive residue cannot be removed. The opaque black backing prevents old or dark background colours from affecting the new printed design, unlike white-back stickers.
If the area previously displayed an old advert and has adhesive residue or background colour that cannot be removed, or if the wall or vehicle itself is dark, an ordinary white-back sticker can easily show the background and distort the design. This black-back vehicle sticker is made for these situations: its black backing first provides an opaque layer, so the background colour will not affect the new design, giving a cleaner, more reliable result.
Offers the most reliable opacity; the low-reflection surface looks cleaner at close range.
The tougher surface withstands everyday abrasion with greater confidence, while the gloss finish is brighter and more eye-catching.
Feels more like a traditional sticker; ideal for short-term events or indoor use.
The black backing forms an opaque layer, preventing the original wall or vehicle colour from affecting the new design, so text and colour blocks appear more solid.
Are old sticker marks, residual background colour or adhesive residue difficult to remove completely? A black-back version is more reliable than a white-back sticker.
Suitable for smooth surfaces such as glass, metal, vehicles and hoardings; it should readily last for one year under normal outdoor use.
Logos, arrows, signs and custom-shaped stickers are all possible, making them more eye-catching and easier to position accurately.
Note: The longer the sticker remains in use (especially beyond 12 months), the greater the chance of adhesive residue when it is removed. For long-term advertising that will be replaced regularly, tell us about the actual environment so we can help you choose a more suitable material.
