What are BGM IPPAI flake stickers?
They are packs of 45 loose, die-cut washi stickers (“flakes”) from BGM, each pack one theme drawn 15 ways, with gold-foil details. Flake stickers come already cut out, with no sheet to peel from, so you pick one from the bag and place it straight on the page.
BGM is a Japanese brand based in Tokyo and founded in 2016, according to the Swedish retailer Tidformera, and is best known for washi and clear decorative tape. IPPAI (“a lot of”) is its line of themed flake packs; bungu.store says the first release came in January 2024.

What comes in a pack?
Fifteen designs on one theme, three copies of each, so you can repeat a motif across a spread. bungu.store’s vol.4, for example, comes as six separate packs, each one motif: jewelry, whole cake, bread roll, house, camera or birds.
| Pack (retailer) | Theme |
|---|---|
| Birds, Dinosaurs, Sea Creatures, Buns (Paper Whisper) | One animal or food theme |
| There Are a Lot of Cats, Full of Celestial Bodies (Tidformera) | Cats; moons and stars |
| Many Rabbits (JetPens) | Rabbits |
| IPPAI vol.3 and vol.4 (bungu.store) | Stationery, sushi, cream soda, dinosaurs; jewelry, cakes, bread, houses, cameras, birds |
Designs change with each release, so check the listing photo for the exact artwork.
How do you use flake stickers?
Place them one at a time as accents: in the margin of a journal page, over a strip of washi tape, or on an envelope. Because each flake is already cut, there’s no backing sheet to keep, and you can sort the pack by design.
Washi is thin, so the flakes sit flat. JetPens says they’re easy to remove and re-stick, which helps when a plan changes. Foil areas stay bright on dark paper, which suits black-page journals.
Can you write on BGM flake stickers?
On the plain washi areas, probably, but not on the foil. Washi is an uncoated paper, so pencil and pigment fineliners usually mark it; the foil is metal-like and repels most inks. BGM’s listings in our sources don’t say whether the flakes are made to be written on, and we haven’t tested it yet.
If you want stickers to write labels on, a matte paper set such as the Hobonichi TSUKI no IRO Sticker Set is a surer choice.
Which IPPAI pack should you buy?
Pick by theme: every IPPAI pack has the same 45-flake format, so the artwork is the only real difference. Animal packs such as Birds or Many Rabbits suit nature journals; food packs such as Buns or Whole Cake suit recipe or café pages.
Because each design comes three times, one pack covers a three-page spread or a set of matching cards. Buy two themes if you want more variety on one page.
How do BGM IPPAI flakes compare to other washi flakes?
IPPAI packs hold more flakes than most Japanese washi flake packs, and add foil.
| Pack | Flakes | Material | Made in |
|---|---|---|---|
| BGM IPPAI | 45 (15 × 3) | Washi, gold foil | China, per retailers |
| Furukawashiko washi flakes | 20 (5 × 4) | Washi | Japan |
| Mind Wave Washi Flowers | 40 (10 × 4) | Washi, gold foil | Japan, per Amazon |
For borders rather than single pictures, pair them with a roll of mt washi tape.
Where are BGM IPPAI flake stickers made?
Retailers that state an origin list IPPAI packs as made in China, even though BGM is a Japanese brand. Paper Whisper says so for its Birds pack and Tidformera for Cats and Celestial Bodies. We couldn’t reach a BGM brand site, and bungu.store and JetPens don’t state an origin.
