Lego Man Can Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Does anyone know what LEGO use for their stickers that come on sheets in sets? I know it's not really to do with the customization of minifigures , but I would like to find out what material they use? Quote
AnthonyFallen Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 Yeah I've been wondering exactly the same thing lately 0_o... Because the last ones looked really nice! But I think that any sticker paper for printers might look just the same actually! :D Quote
tHeUkrainianBrick69 Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 Man, I wonder, must be something very crappy, whenever i take sticker off old set this glue junk is left behind and is impossible to remove! Quote

Aanchir Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 I find the stickers quite effective to be honest. Agreed. The reason there's so much "glue junk" left behind is because the glue is a high quality that binds well to bricks. And removing such "glue junk" is no difficulty at all-- there are several products that exist specifically for such a purpose. All I can really add to this discussion is that TLG has at least three types of stickers. There are white stickers, which as far as I know are paper-based, probably with some type of plastic coating on top that gives them their "shine" (and makes them water-resistant). They're not much different than your average mass-produced sticker like a kid might get at a doctor's office or on a paper their teacher at school has graded. There are chrome-colored stickers, which are the same paper-based material but I guess with some type of chrome-colored treatment in the plastic coating. And there are transparent stickers, which are purely plastic-based. The three have different sorts of applications in sets. Beyond that, I don't know any specifics. Quote
