By definition then a label is a sticker. It says "generally" printed but that is not absolute so cut vinyl would apply here as well.Let’s go to the New Oxford Dictionary and try to break it down. Seller of custom stickers, decals, and labels tend to define these product categories as it suits them .
sticker n. an adhesive label or notice, generally printed or illustrated. <-------- PRINTED
label n. a small piece of paper, fabric, plastic, or similar material attached to an object and giving information about it.
decal n. a design prepared on special paper for transfer onto another surface such as glass, porcelain, or metal sometimes non printed.
Strict interpretation of a decal would not be anything vinyl because it says special paper and vinyl is not paper. Also, the design is transferred onto a new surface so wouldn't that only apply to sublimation?
Transfer tape would not transfer the image, it would transfer the label with an image on it.
It looks like most of you are in the sticker business. Don't worry though, it pays the same as the decal business.
