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.

What are Matte Vinyl Stickers?
Custom Matte Stickers are printed in full colour on tough vinyl with a smooth, glare-free finish. The matte coating gives your design a clean, modern look while keeping colours sharp. Waterproof and weatherproof, they stick firmly to bottles, laptops, packaging, signage and other smooth surfaces. The non-glossy finish makes them easy to read in any light, making them spot on for branding, promotions or personal projects that need a subtle, professional style indoors or outdoors.
Why choose Matte Stickers over Gloss Stickers?
Matte stickers reduce glare, making text and designs easier to read while giving a more subtle, professional look.
Are Matte Vinyl Stickers scratch-resistant?
Yes. The vinyl is tough and resists everyday handling, especially with the laminate it adds extra protection.
Is there minimum order for Matte Stickers?
There’s a minimum of 50 stickers per order, but you can always start small before going bigger.
Are Matte Vinyl Stickers easy to apply?
Yes. Just peel and stick onto any smooth, clean surface, no special tools needed.
Do Matte Stickers look different from gloss stickers in colour?
Yes. Gloss makes colours shine, while matte gives a softer, muted effect that feels more modern.
Who uses Custom Matte Vinyl Stickers?
They’re popular with brands, creatives and businesses for packaging, events, promos, or just adding a sleek finish to personal projects.
