Product Description

Each Xiabu sticker is crafted with care from high-quality Wanzai ramie fiber, the core material of authentic Xiabu. The production starts with selecting fresh ramie stalks, which undergo natural dew-bleaching (a chemical-free process using morning dew to ferment and soften fibers, keeping them pure and non-irritating). Then, artisans hand-spin the ramie into fine, even yarns and weave them into thin, flexible Xiabu fabric – the fabric’s subtle texture and natural ivory tone (or soft plant-dyed hues like light blue and beige) form the base of the sticker.

The sticker features a multi-layer design: the top layer is hand-cut Xiabu fabric with various patterns (e.g., traditional Chinese flowers, birds, cloud motifs, or minimalist geometric shapes), the middle layer is a removable, residue-free adhesive (meets EU environmental standards), and the bottom layer is a protective paper sheet. Available in 5 common sizes (5cm×5cm, 8cm×8cm, 10cm×10cm, 12cm×8cm, 15cm×10cm), each sticker is inspected by our Xiabu Craftsmanship inheritors to ensure it retains the authentic texture of handwoven Xiabu.

Product Features

Genuine Intangible Cultural Heritage Craftsmanship: Each sticker’s Xiabu fabric is hand-woven by artisans trained in the “Wanzai Xiabu Weaving Technique” (listed as National Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2008), with no machine substitution in key steps, ensuring unique texture.

100% Eco-Friendly Materials: Made from renewable ramie fiber; the adhesive is non-toxic and residue-free, and plant-based dyes (no synthetic chemicals) are used for colored versions, safe for humans and the environment.

Durable & Reusable: The handwoven Xiabu fabric is tear-resistant and washable (if removed carefully); the adhesive can be reused 2-3 times on smooth surfaces without leaving marks.

Cultural Pattern Design: Patterns draw inspiration from traditional Chinese art (e.g., peony for prosperity, crane for longevity) and modern minimalism, balancing cultural charm and contemporary aesthetics.

Thin & Lightweight: The Xiabu fabric layer is only 0.3mm thick, making the sticker easy to apply and blend with different surfaces without bulging.

Product Functions

Decorative Accessory: Adds a unique cultural touch to laptops, notebooks, phone cases, water bottles, and gift boxes, making ordinary items stand out.

Cultural Education Tool: Helps introduce Xiabu culture – the sticker’s attached small card explains the history of Xiabu and its status as an intangible cultural heritage, suitable for schools or cultural events.

Temporary Decoration: Ideal for decorating party venues (e.g., wedding favor boxes, festival gift bags) or home spaces (e.g., fridge doors, bookshelves) without permanent marks.

Gift Accent: Enhances gifts (e.g., wrapping paper, gift bags) with a handcrafted, cultural element, making presents more thoughtful.

Collectible Item: Each pattern series (e.g., “Traditional Chinese Motifs,” “Minimalist Xiabu”) is limited in quantity, appealing to collectors of cultural handicrafts.

Product Advantages

Cultural Uniqueness: Unlike mass-produced plastic or paper stickers, it carries 1,600 years of Xiabu heritage, offering story and cultural value that ordinary stickers lack.

Eco-Friendliness: Ramie fiber is biodegradable, and the non-toxic adhesive reduces environmental pollution, aligning with global sustainable living trends.

Superior Durability: Xiabu fabric resists fading and tearing – even after 6 months of use on a laptop, the sticker remains intact, unlike paper stickers that easily peel or smudge.

Safe for Surfaces: The residue-free adhesive works on smooth surfaces (plastic, glass, wood, paper) without damaging them, solving the problem of sticky marks left by ordinary stickers.

Versatile Design: Patterns cater to different preferences (traditional vs. modern), and multiple sizes fit various items, meeting diverse decorative needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can the Xiabu Sticker be used on curved surfaces (e.g., water bottles)?

A1: Yes. The thin, flexible Xiabu fabric and adhesive allow the sticker to fit gently on curved smooth surfaces (like plastic or glass water bottles) without peeling off easily.

Q2: How to remove the sticker without leaving marks?

A2: Gently peel the sticker from the edge at a 45-degree angle; if there is slight adhesive residue, wipe it with a damp cloth – the residue will come off easily without damaging the surface.

Q3: Is the sticker waterproof?

A3: The Xiabu fabric is water-resistant (ramie fiber dries quickly), but we do not recommend prolonged soaking (e.g., submerging a water bottle with the sticker in water) to avoid weakening the adhesive.

Q4: Can I customize the pattern of the Xiabu Sticker?

A4: Yes. We offer custom pattern services for bulk orders (minimum 100 pieces), including brand logos, custom motifs, or specific cultural designs. Contact our customer service for design details and lead time.

Q5: Does the sticker fade in direct sunlight?

A5: No. The plant-based dyes used for colored stickers are UV-resistant; even if placed on a car dashboard or a window (exposed to sunlight daily), the color will not fade for 6+ months.
