Preparing Your Artwork for Sticker Printing
Want your stickers to come out looking proper? Here’s what we need from you when you send over your artwork:
1. Size it right
Set your file to the exact finished size of your sticker (e.g. 7.5cm x 7.5cm).
2. Resolution
Go with 300 DPI. Anything lower will look soft or pixelated once printed.
3. Colour mode
Work in CMYK. RGB is for screens, not print, so colours won’t match properly otherwise.
4. Bleed
Add at least 3mm bleed on all sides. This stops any unwanted white edges after trimming.
5. Safe zone
Keep text, logos and anything important at least 3mm inside the cut line, so nothing gets chopped off.
6. Fonts
Convert all text to outlines/curves. That way we don’t need your font files.
7. File formats
We accept:
Vector files (AI, PDF, EPS) – best for logos and graphics
High-res raster files (PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PNG with transparency) – good for photos or detailed designs
8. Cut line (for custom shapes)
If you want a custom die-cut shape, add a separate cut line layer. Mark it in 100% magenta or use our templates.
9. Double check before sending
Make sure:
- Spelling is correct
- Colours are in CMYK
- Images still look sharp when zoomed in
10. Sending files
Send us a PDF, AI, or EPS with fonts outlined and layers intact. For simpler shapes, a high-res PNG works too.
Good to know:
Each order includes up to 5 different artworks as standard. If you need more than that, you’ll need to place an extra order.

Standard turnaround:
3 to 5 working days from when I receive your final artwork.

What Are Circle Stickers?
Circle stickers are round stickers cut to a consistent circular outline, whatever the design inside. They're a good fit for logos, illustrations, packaging, promotional handouts and artwork that works well within a round frame.
Unlike custom die cut stickers, which follow the shape of your design, circle stickers keep a neat, regular outline. You don't need to start with circular artwork, either. If your design is square or rectangular, we can help position it within the circle and create the cut line, so the finished sticker looks right without distorting your artwork.
How are circle sticker sizes measured?
Circle stickers are measured by their diameter, which is the distance straight across the centre of the circle. For example, a 5cm circle sticker measures 5cm across in every direction.
You can choose your own diameter within our normal production limits. If you're entering both a width and height when ordering, simply use the same measurement for each.
What size circle sticker is best for my design?
work well for simple logos and bold illustrations, while designs with lots of detail or text generally benefit from a larger diameter.
Remember that a circle has less usable space than a square of the same width, so it's worth checking how your artwork looks at its finished size before ordering.
Can you turn my artwork into a circle sticker?
Yes! Your artwork doesn't need to be circular to begin with. If you've got a square or rectangular design, we can create the circular cut line and help position everything correctly.
Just bear in mind that the corners of your original artwork may fall outside the circular cut. We'll keep your design in proportion rather than stretching it to fit. If you're unsure how it will look, we're happy to help.
Can I put text around the edge of a circle sticker?
Absolutely. Curved text can work particularly well on circle stickers, especially for logos, badges and designs with lettering running around the outside.
We recommend keeping important text and details at least 3 mm inside the circular cut line to prevent anything being trimmed off. It's also worth checking that your lettering will remain readable at the finished sticker size, particularly on smaller circles.
Can circle stickers have a white border or be printed right to the edge?
Yes, you can choose a white border, a coloured border or have your artwork printed right to the edge of the circle, known as full-bleed printing.
If you're adding a circular border, we'd recommend avoiding extremely thin outlines. Small variations during cutting can make one side appear slightly thicker than the other. For full-bleed designs, remember to include 3 mm of extra background beyond the cut line.
Are circle stickers individually cut, or can I order them with easy-peel backing?
Our circle stickers are supplied individually rather than on sheets.
If you'd prefer a circular sticker with extra backing around it, making it easier to peel, take a look at our Kiss Cut Stickers.
Alternatively, if you're after repeated circular designs on sheets for packaging or product labelling, our Custom Labels might be a better option.
Can I use circle stickers for packaging and product branding?
Absolutely. Circle stickers are a popular choice for adding logos and branding to packaging, sealing tissue paper, decorating boxes and finishing off orders with a little something extra.
Our individually cut circle stickers are handy for giveaways and branding, but if you're applying lots of the same design to packaging, our Custom Labels are available on sheets and may be a more convenient option.
What's the difference between circle stickers and die cut stickers?
Circle stickers are always cut into a round shape, regardless of the artwork printed inside. This makes them a good choice for circular logos, badges and designs where you want a consistent outline.
Our Die Cut Stickers follow the shape of your artwork instead. So if you've designed a character, illustration or unusually shaped logo and want the sticker to follow its outline, die cut stickers are the better choice.
