How to Peel the Backing Off Stickers?

Peeling the backing off stickers can often be frustrating, especially when dealing with stickers that have a clear backing. To help you easily remove sticker backings, we introduce several effective methods, particularly the Sticker Peel Assist Tool, a practical tool that significantly simplifies the peeling process and is ideal for various types of stickers, including PET, vellum, and washi stickers.

Common Methods for Peeling Sticker Backings

Method 1: Gently Pry Up with a Fingernail or Blade

If you're having trouble peeling the sticker backing, try gently prying up the edge with your fingernail or a small blade. Be careful not to damage the sticker itself. Gently insert the blade and slowly pry outward, which can help lift the backing slightly and make peeling easier.

 

Method 2: Use Heat

Sometimes, a warm environment can help you peel the backing more easily. You can use a hairdryer to blow warm air onto the back of the sticker; the increased temperature can weaken the adhesive. After warming the sticker slightly, try peeling it off again, and you’ll usually find that the backing comes off much more easily.

Method 3: Moistening Method

Lightly wiping the sticker backing with a damp cloth or paper towel may also help with peeling. A small amount of moisture can soften the adhesive, simplifying the peeling process. Just be sure not to let water touch the sticker's surface directly to avoid damage.

How to Use the Sticker Peel Assist Tool:

  1. Preparation: Before using, please remove the white paper on top of the mat.

  2. Step 1: Place one corner of the sticker on the tool mat, ensuring it is flat.

  3. Step 2: Press down firmly with your fingers or tweezers to ensure it sticks well.

  4. Step 3: Use tweezers to gently insert into one corner of the sticker to begin peeling.

  5. Done: After peeling, remember to place the white paper back on the adhesive surface to prevent dust accumulation and reduce stickiness.

Size and Packaging of the Tool Mat

Notes

  • Since this tool mat is hand-cut, there may be slight variations in size and the edges may not be perfectly smooth. We appreciate your understanding.
  • This tool mat is a consumable item designed for adhesive use. It is reusable, but its adhesive properties may diminish over time. As the adhesive weakens, it may not effectively adhere, necessitating the purchase of a new one.
  • Putting the white paper back after each use can prevent dust and extend the adhesive time. You can place a small corner of the sticker on the mat instead of using the entire sticker. This way, the unused portion retains its adhesive properties, allowing you to continue using it while extending the mat's lifespan.

By using the methods outlined above and the Sticker Peel Assist Tool, you can easily solve the problem of peeling sticker backings, making your crafting process smoother and more enjoyable.
