Artwork

What file formats do you accept for custom sticker artwork?

I accept high-resolution PNG, PDF, AI, and EPS files for custom sticker artwork. Vector files like AI or EPS are ideal for sharp, detailed designs, while PNG is great for simpler artwork with transparent backgrounds.

What resolution should my artwork be for sticker printing?

For the best print quality, I recommend a minimum resolution of 300 DPI (dots per inch). This ensures that your stickers will be clear and sharp, without pixelation, even on larger sizes.

Should my artwork be in CMYK or RGB for printing?

For accurate colour reproduction, submit your artwork in CMYK colour mode, as it’s specifically calibrated for printing. RGB files may look different in print, as they’re intended for digital screens.

How do I prepare a file with a full bleed for sticker printing?

To ensure a full bleed (edge-to-edge printing), extend your artwork by an additional 3mm around the edges. This allows for precise cutting and avoids white borders on your stickers.

What is the safe zone in sticker artwork, and why is it important?

The safe zone is an inner margin within your artwork where all important elements (like text or logos) should be placed. This ensures that nothing essential is cut off during trimming. Keep key elements at least 3mm inside the edges.

Can you print stickers with a transparent background?

Yes, we offer clear stickers that can be printed with a transparent background. Upload your artwork with transparency settings, preferably in PNG format, to achieve a clear, seamless effect.

Do you offer white ink printing for clear or holographic stickers?

Yes, I offer white ink printing to enhance designs on clear or holographic stickers. White ink helps make colours stand out, ensuring your artwork remains vibrant on transparent or reflective backgrounds.

What colour profiles should I use for my artwork?

I recommend using the CMYK colour profile for all sticker artwork to ensure accurate colour output. For digital files, Adobe’s CMYK colour profile is an excellent choice for vibrant and consistent printing.

Can I include text in my sticker design, and how do I ensure it's legible?

Yes, text can be included. For best results, make sure text is converted to outlines or paths (vector format), ensuring it prints crisply. Use a minimum font size of 6pt for readability, especially on smaller stickers.

Can you print gradients and complex colour effects in my artwork?

Yes, I can print gradients and complex colours in your artwork. Gradients look best when designed in CMYK mode, and a high-resolution file will ensure smooth, vibrant transitions.

What size should my artwork be for small stickers?

For small stickers, ensure artwork is at least 300 DPI at the sticker’s final size to maintain detail. Avoid using intricate designs, as smaller stickers may not capture fine details clearly.

Can I have my sticker artwork die-cut to a custom shape?

Yes, we offer die-cut sticker printing to match your artwork’s unique shape. Ensure your artwork has a vector cut line to indicate the custom shape, or let us know the outline you need, and we’ll create it.

Do you offer artwork proofing before printing?

Yes, I can provide digital proofs before printing to let you review and approve your design. This allows you to confirm colours, layout, and any final adjustments to ensure your custom stickers meet your expectations.

What is vector artwork, and why is it recommended for sticker printing?

Vector artwork is created using mathematical paths, ensuring scalability without loss of quality. It’s ideal for sticker printing, especially for logos and text, as it remains sharp and clear at any size. Submit vector files in AI or EPS format for best results.
