How to remove stickers without damaging them (also works for labels & stamps)

  • My trick for removing stickers and labels using only a heat tool and scalpel knife. This is perfect for keeping all the pretty stickers and stamps from e.g. Etsy orders or pen pal envelopes. It's also useful if you want to remove labels so you can reuse packaging, mailers or cardboard without tearing, ripping or otherwise damaging them.
    A heat tool is also sometimes called a heat gun or embossing gun. If you don't have a heat tool you could try a hair dryer.
    Hope it's useful! If you enjoyed this please like, comment & subscribe ♥

    For clarity, the postage-stamps in UK, as seen in the video, are self-adhesive. If you have a gummed (lick to stick) postage-stamp to remove, then steam from a kettle will get it off.

      Great tip, thank you! I can also confirm that conversely, steam does not remove self-adhesive stamps/stickers.

    This was super helpful. I make lamps out of whisky bottles and I need to drill a hold in the glass. But I need to use water while drilling in glass so it always ruins the sticker. Now I remove the sticker, drill the hole and glue the sticker back on with a clean cut hole in the sticker. They look much nicer now. Thanks!

    Thanks for the tips. Question: I have an old electronic toy from the late 70s / early 80s called Big Trak. There is a decal on it that covers screws that I need to remove to possibly service the toy for repair. I don’t want to damage the decal, of course, or burn it with the heat gun. Do you have any suggestions?
    I’m a graphic artist by trade and I’m no stranger to different adhesives including spray adhesives. Once I go to put the decal back on, what adhesive would you suggest? I have a couple in mind, but I’m thinking perhaps you may have some different insights than I may have and I’d like your suggestions. Thanks!😀

    Wow Iris why haven't I thought of this really cool idea. I use a hairdryer for drying art journalling stuff so have never invested in a heat tool. I'm sure we have a tool for burning off paint hidden somewhere in the dark recesses of the garage. What I'm asking is the heat tool fiercely hot or more of a gentle heat?

      Yes that's right what Eileen says. The tool I'm talking about is a craft/hobby tool with a gentle heat setting (mine has 2 settings, one very hot for embossing, the other less hot - which I use for drying and sticker removal) rather than a hardware tool!

      @iris-impressions-art  2 роки тому

      I haven't tried it myself, but I don't see why not. You're using the heat to soften/liquify the glue from the stickers so they become easy to peel off. Just be careful to heat it gently and gradually so you don't damage the paint on the wall.

      I think it depends on the glue used. This video relates to stickers, because on those the adhesive melts when heated. I couldn't be sure the same would apply for labels on commercial products.
