Best approach for waterproof lunch box stickers?

Hey everyone,

​I’m still pretty new to the Cricut world and could use some advice on my first "real" project. I want to make custom stickers for my child’s lunch box. The design is going to be a rainbow with their name on it—so nothing too crazy or complex.

​However, I’m a bit unsure about the best way to tackle this. How do you usually decide which material is best for a specific job?

​My first thought was using permanent vinyl since it needs to be waterproof (and ideally dishwasher-safe). But for a rainbow, I’d have to layer several different colors.

​Then I thought about doing Print then Cut stickers instead. I need to order materials for both options anyway, so I’m still flexible.

I found some waterproof stickers with a holographic effect that look amazing, and I know my kid would love them. From what I understand, these are laminate films that you apply over the printed sticker.

If I go this route, does the sticker paper itself have to be waterproof, or is it enough to use regular sticker paper and seal it with the holo laminate?

​I'd appreciate any tips or experiences you can share! Thanks in advance!
