Peel & Stick Adhesive Vinyl Holders
Mount documents where they are needed without hooks, magnets or hardware. Peel-and-stick adhesive vinyl holders attach to smooth surfaces and keep labels, work orders, instructions, signs and job paperwork visible and protected.
Choose sizes from small label holders through 11x14 document sleeves, including waterproof resealable self-stick styles for harsher work environments.

What Surfaces Can They Stick To?
Peel-and-stick holders are designed for smooth, clean, dry mounting surfaces such as metal, glass, fiberglass, rigid plastic and painted wood.
Clean and dry the mounting area before installation, remove the liner, position the holder and press the adhesive backing firmly into place.
Rough, dirty, oily, highly textured or flexible surfaces can reduce adhesive contact and holding performance.
Why Use a Vinyl Holder Instead of Tape?
The holder stays mounted while the printed insert changes. That makes it useful anywhere information changes more often than the mounting location.
It also provides a cleaner, more consistent presentation than repeatedly taping loose sheets directly to equipment, doors, bins or walls.
Choose the Size by the Insert
Holder size refers to the pocket, not necessarily the paper size. Choose a holder with enough extra room for the insert to slide in and out easily. Small press-on holders are also supplied multiple holders per sheet before they are peeled apart.
| If the insert is | Start with | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| 3x5 label, barcode or index card | 3x5 or 5x3 landscape | Shelf, tote, locker and equipment labels |
| 4x6 card or short instruction | 4x6 | ID cards, labels and compact work instructions |
| Tag, traveler or short checklist | 6x9½ | Tags, service records and compact forms |
| 8.5x11 letter-size paperwork | 9x12 open-top or 9x12 waterproof | Work orders, job tickets, checklists and postings |
| Larger form or notice | 11x14 | Oversized forms and facility postings |
Open-Top vs Waterproof Resealable
Open-top self-stick holders are a practical choice for shelves, bins, doors and equipment panels where inserts change frequently and quick access matters.
Waterproof resealable self-stick holders add a press-lock closure to help keep paperwork cleaner and better protected in wet, dirty or heavily handled locations.
Readable Barcodes & Temporary Notes
Barcode labels can be scanned through the clear vinyl face without removing the insert, making these holders useful for inventory identification, warehouse locations and equipment records.
The clear face can also be used for temporary dry-erase check marks or notes. Test the marker first and erase it promptly for easiest cleanup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a peel-and-stick document holder?
It is a clear vinyl sleeve with pressure-sensitive adhesive on the back. The holder mounts to a surface while the printed label, sign or document can be inserted and replaced from the open side.
What can adhesive vinyl holders be mounted to?
They are commonly used on smooth metal, glass, fiberglass, rigid plastic and painted wood. Surface cleanliness, texture and condition can affect how well the adhesive bonds.
Can the paperwork inside be changed?
Yes. The holder stays mounted while the insert can be removed and replaced, making these sleeves useful for information that changes regularly.
Are self-stick holders available for standard letter-size documents?
Yes. The 9x12 size is well suited for 8.5x11 paperwork because the slightly larger pocket provides room for easier insertion and removal.
Do you offer waterproof adhesive document holders?
Yes. Waterproof resealable self-stick styles add a press-lock closure for paperwork that needs additional protection from moisture, dirt and repeated handling.
Can barcodes be scanned through the clear vinyl?
Yes. Barcode labels can be scanned through the clear vinyl face, so labels can remain protected inside the holder during normal scanning and inventory work.
Can these holders be removed and reused somewhere else?
Peel-and-stick holders are intended to remain attached at the selected location. If you expect to move the holder frequently, a magnetic or other removable mounting style may be a better choice.
Can I order a custom size or configuration?
Custom holder sizes, opening directions, adhesive layouts and other configurations may be available when a standard product does not fit the application.
TIE Office-Mates can help with custom industrial document-holder applications.
