Eco-Friendly Clear Stickers
Simply enter the size of your sticker, choose your shape, pick the quantity you'd like and upload your artwork. It's that easy...
What makes them Eco-Friendly?
Our Eco-Friendly stickers are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, not plastic. They’re fully compostable and printed with vegan inks, so they break down naturally without leaving waste behind.
Even though they’re made from plants, they look and feel just like regular vinyl, smooth, glossy, and professional. They’re splash-proof, scratch-resistant, and cut to any shape or size you need.
The adhesive is medium-strength, perfect for most sticker and label uses, and best suited for indoor applications.
The backing liner does contain traces of silicone, which means it’s not compostable, but it is widely recyclable.

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.
White layer setup
Want your colours to come out solid and bold? Add a white base under those parts of the design.
Want the material to show through for a transparent or shiny effect? Leave the white layer off and the ink will print straight onto the sticker material.
Think of the white layer as a base coat. Add it where you need opacity, skip it where you want the effect to shine through.
1. Decide on the finish
- Solid and opaque = add white.
- Transparent/effect showing = no white.
2. Create a new layer
- Call it “White Layer”.
- Put it just below your artwork layer.
3. Mark the areas
- Fill the shapes where you want white with a solid colour.
- Set it as a spot colour named “White.”
4. Check it over
- With white = bold, opaque colour.
- Without white = see-through or material showing.
5. Save and send
- Export with the white layer intact (AI, PDF, or EPS recommended).
