Preparing Your Artwork for Badge Printing

Want your badges 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. 2.5cm x 2.5cm).

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. Double check before sending

Make sure:

- Spelling is correct

- Colours are in CMYK

- Images still look sharp when zoomed in

9. 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.

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).

Standard turnaround:

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

What are Holographic Badges?

Custom holographic badges are printed in full colour on a bright, iridescent base that shifts and shines as you move, bold, eye-catching and impossible to ignore. Available in sizes from 25mm (1 inch) to 58mm (2.25 inches), they’re lightweight, durable and finished with a secure pin back that clips easily to clothes, hats or bags. Perfect for bands, brands, events, giveaways or just adding some shimmer to your look, holographic badges turn any design into something that truly stands out.

Custom holographic badges are printed on iridescent material that reflects a rainbow effect, making your artwork stand out with a shiny, eye-catching look.

They’re great for branding, giveaways, merch, events, band promos or just adding a bit of flash to your outfit or bag.

White badges have a clean, solid background, while holographic badges reflect light with a rainbow effect that shifts as you move.

We offer several sizes, from small 25mm badges to large 58mm badges, so you can choose what fits your design best.

Each badge comes with a sturdy metal pin back that easily clips to clothes, hats or bags.

Yes, you can include up to 5 different designs in a single order.
