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).

What are Gold Chrome Stickers?
Custom Gold Chrome Stickers are printed in full colour on tough, glossy vinyl with a mirror-like finish that makes designs stand out. The reflective silver surface gives logos, artwork or text a bold metallic look, while the durable material is waterproof and weatherproof. They stick firmly to smooth surfaces like laptops, bottles, packaging and signage, making them spot on for branding, promos or personal projects indoors or outdoors.
What are Gold Chrome Stickers?
They’re printed on gold mirror-effect vinyl with a glossy finish. The surface is reflective, smooth, and has that gold foil look.
What makes Gold Chrome Stickers “chrome”?
The base vinyl has a mirror-like gold surface that reflects light. It’s not just metallic, it’s properly shiny, like polished foil.
Can I print full colour on Gold Chrome Vinyl?
Yes, we print in full CMYK. The gold shows through lighter colours unless we add white ink underneath.
Can you print white ink on Gold Chrome Stickers?
Yes. White ink blocks the chrome effect, helping colours appear more solid. If you want certain parts to keep the gold look, we leave those areas clear of white.
Can I combine solid colours and Gold Chrome in one design?
Yes. We can print white ink under parts of your artwork to keep colours solid, and leave other parts clear to let the gold chrome show through. You get a mix of both in one sticker.
Will the Gold Chrome effect rub off?
No. The chrome layer is part of the vinyl, and we laminate over it. It doesn’t peel or flake.
