Depends...

If you are actually going to do something with it, then it's not, but I only went for the small round stickers, because I knew nobody would want the other items.

Absolutely correct. The cardboard sleeves as well as the skinny cardboard box they came in will be used for some of our kids artwork, to keep it stored flat and protected now.
Quick question, just received these today, are the stickers weatherproof, like I know they are like bumperstickers but will they actually last through rain, etc.

My guess would be yes, but for how long, I don't know.

They seem to be made of something other than paper, and have a snap to it when you try to peel it off the wax backing.

You can always keep one in a container of water for a while and see how it reacts, and if it last's through that, then the occasional rain would be less damaging.

Hmm... Maybe I'll try out my own theory, and post back in a day or two!

OK, so it's a clear plastic coating on paper with a sticky backing.

I placed two halves in a container of water; one peeled off the wax backing, and left as is,
and the other peeled and stuck on a piece of tin foil to replicate it being stuck on something.

This way I'll know how the water affects them from either side, and I'll report back in two days.

Didn't need two days to see it wasn't going to last!

The plain sticker rolled up onto itself because the paper backing was soggy, and the other started peeling away from the sticky part


Here's what it looked like when I touched it.


The image quality was still good since it's pretty much laminated to the clear plastic coating, but now it's not a sticker anymore, so what are you supposed to do with it.

Safe to say, unless you live in a dry area, I wouldn't suggest using these as bumper stickers, or you'll be left with a glue spot on your car shortly afterwards.
