About Our Paper Types
Both of our two paper types look and feel exactly the same. The only difference between the two is how they’re stuck to the wall. The “peel-and-stick” simply peels and sticks whereas the “paste-the-wall” needs paste applied. Hence the name, Peel-and-Stick or Paste-the-Wall. In other words, one is like a sticker and the other needs glue. Both papers are heavy in weight which not only masks wall texture but also stands up to wear and tear. We print using Greenguard certified latex inks for a vibrant, crisp, and eco-conscious final product.

Paste-the-Wall
