Sticker's Best Friend

Yes, it's a bit difficult to work with at first, but after a few cuts you'll have your own system for perfect coverage. Cut enough to cover the sticker sheet and starting at one end, SLOWLY unroll the clear sheet across the sticker side, moving your hand(s) back and forth as you continue to unfold to ensure that there are no air bubbles or wrinkles. When you cut this sheet it will curl up, so be patient and you'll encounter a few setbacks along the way. Once a wrinkle appears, there is no way to fix or repair it. So you have a chance every time you want to laminate your sheet of stickers, so you have to be on target. Air bubbles can be fixed by laying down a sheet in most cases, but once it's completely covered, ironing out these annoyances becomes a lot harder. The whole process takes about 2 minutes. Once it's completely covered, just toss it in the slicer (I used Cameo 4) and trim (don't forget to increase the cutting power/blade). Mine is set to Blade: 6, Force 33, Speed 7. I haven't done kissing yet because I only work with punches. After embossing the stickers, you'll see gloss, durability, and ultra-water resistance. For the test I put the standard gloss and matte "waterproof" stickers on the glass and next to them the same stickers covered with this VVivid laminate. Threw it in the washing machine. Result: The standard gloss decals were liquid, while the matte color washed out completely, leaving a faint reminder of what was once art. The stickers processed by VVivid were 100% perfect. Now I can sell them without paranoia.

Pros
  • Self-adhesive sheeting requires no heat or special equipment for easy DIY installation.
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price
