kleebised

Kleebised is the Estonian word for adhesive stickers or decals. They are printed or hand-cut designs that can be affixed to surfaces and are used for decoration, labeling, branding, or signaling. The term covers a range of products from small label stickers to large decals.

Materials and adhesives vary across kleebised. Most are made from vinyl or coated paper with a pressure-sensitive adhesive. Vinyl offers weather and UV resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use, while paper-based kleebised are often cheaper and intended for indoor applications. Adhesive options include permanent, removable, and repositionable formulations. Finishes can be gloss, satin, or matte, and some designs incorporate clear laminates for extra durability.

Production and types commonly involve digital or offset printing, followed by cutting. Die-cut stickers are separated into individual shapes, while kiss-cut stickers are cut through the top layer but leave the backing sheet intact, making them easy to peel off. Modern processes may use wide-format inkjet or laser printers, with color management and sometimes protective laminates to extend life.

Uses are broad and include product labeling, promotional materials, vehicle and window decals, electronics, and personal items such as laptops or water bottles. Kleebised are also popular in crafts and scrapbooking, allowing for versatile, removable decoration or branded messaging.
