Sticker‐type electronics give electronic functions to unconventional substrates. On page 1375 Heung Cho Ko and co‐workers demonstrate an advanced methodology to guarantee both stability in device fabrication and high‐efficiency transfer printing of final devices to enable such a stick‐and‐play system. They employ a water‐soluble sacrificial layer on a dimpled handling substrate, which enables the topological confinement of the ultrathin substrate.
