What kind of sticker paper did you use for the box? When I made mine I used sticker paper with a matte finish, and I like the way it feels, but sometimes the colors aren’t very vibrant. Do you have any suggestions for some better sticker paper? Thanks!

I’ve spent hundreds of dollars on glossy sticker paper. None of them work. If the stock looks good, then the adhesive is weak and begins peeling off within hours.

I gave up on adhesive printer paper. I decided to go with regular glossy printer paper and used the rubber cement dry mounting method. You can Google it, but essentially you apply rubber cement to both surfaces, let them both dry. Then the resulting dry mount is SUPER sticky. Only drawback is you have to position perfectly; there’s no re-positioning once the two surfaces touch their adhesives. I have not checked, but I’m sure there are dozens of videos explaining it on youtube.

best,
Ron
