Quick answer
Your Lemon Sun sticker will last longest when applied to a clean, dry, smooth surface and kept out of direct sunlight and moisture. Follow the steps below for best results.
Why surface prep matters
The Lemon Sun sticker is made from vinyl with a matte finish, which adheres best to non-porous surfaces like metal, glass, or plastic. Oils, dust, or residue from previous stickers can prevent a strong bond, leading to peeling or bubbles within days.
When to expect wear
Even with careful application, all stickers will show some wear over time if exposed to frequent handling, extreme heat, or repeated washing. The Lemon Sun sticker is not waterproof, so avoid submerging it or placing it on items that go through the dishwasher.
Diagnosis and care steps
- Symptom: Sticker peels at edges or falls off within a few days.
- Likely cause: The surface was not cleaned properly before application. Grease, dust, or old adhesive residue prevents the sticker from bonding fully.
- Corrective action: Clean the surface with rubbing alcohol or a mild soap-and-water solution, dry it completely, then apply the sticker from the center outward, pressing firmly to remove air bubbles. If the sticker still won't stick after cleaning, the surface may be too textured or porous — try a smooth, non-porous spot instead.
- Stop and choose another option: If your intended surface is curved, textured, or frequently wet (like a reusable water bottle that goes in a dishwasher), consider a different decoration method such as a hard enamel pin or a silicone band.

Lemon Sun Sticker: The Lemon Sun sticker is made from vinyl with a matte finish and comes in sizes from 2″ × 2″ to 6″ × 6″. The matte finish reduces glare but is less resistant to moisture than gloss vinyl, so it's best suited for indoor use or items that stay dry.
