Quick Answer
The stickers are made of matte vinyl, which repels water but isn’t fully waterproof. Light moisture won’t damage them, but prolonged submersion can cause peeling. Keep them dry for everyday use, and consider a clear seal if you need heavy‑water resistance.
The Monthly Sticker Club delivers a fresh vinyl sticker each month, and many subscribers wonder whether those stickers can survive accidental splashes, rain, or intentional water play.

Below we break down the material properties, what “water‑resistant” really means for these stickers, and practical steps to keep your art looking crisp.
How Vinyl Stickers Handle Moisture
Megan Wang’s stickers, such as the Artist Bunny Sticker and Journal Buddies Yellow Sticker, are described as matte vinyl. Vinyl is naturally water‑repellent, so a quick dab of water or a light mist won’t immediately soak through or cause the adhesive to fail. However, vinyl is not a sealed barrier; prolonged exposure to water can weaken the glue and lead to edge lifting or color fading.
Because the stickers are designed for planners, notebooks, and laptops—items that rarely sit in a bathtub—they are optimized for everyday handling rather than full submersion. If you plan to use a sticker on a water bottle that will see frequent washing, consider applying a clear protective film after the sticker adheres.
- Test a small corner with a damp cloth before full application.
- Avoid placing stickers on surfaces that will be fully immersed for long periods.
Sticker FAQ Summary
Water Resistance
Matte vinyl repels light moisture but isn’t fully waterproof. Expect durability in everyday use, not in water‑logged conditions.
Care Recommendation
Keep stickers dry, seal with clear film for high‑moisture items. Protective coating extends lifespan on water bottles or mugs.
When to Avoid
Do not apply stickers to surfaces that will be fully submerged for long periods. Avoid edge lifting and adhesive failure by limiting exposure.
Sticker Materials in the Monthly Club
- monthly print + sticker club: Get a postcard size print + vinyl sticker in the mail every month! Sometimes it’s a riso print, sometimes it’s not. Vinyl stickers are inherently water‑repellent, giving you basic protection against light spills while keeping the art crisp.
- Artist Bunny Sticker: This 1.5‑inch square matte vinyl sticker offers a sleek, non‑glossy finish that blends seamlessly with laptops, notebooks, water bottles, and more. The matte vinyl surface resists smudging and minor moisture, but it’s not sealed against full immersion, so extra care is needed for wet environments.
In short, the Monthly Sticker Club stickers are water‑resistant enough for everyday spills but not designed for full waterproof performance. Treat them with a bit of caution, and they’ll stay vibrant month after month.
