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.

What Are Rectangle Stickers?
Rectangle stickers are one of the most familiar sticker shapes around, with a history that stretches back to traditional paper labels and packaging. Their simple four-sided shape has stood the test of time, and it's easy to see why.
With straight edges and square corners, they're a practical choice for everything from branding and promotional stickers to artwork and merchandise. The rectangular format works particularly well for designs that need a little more width or height, while leaving plenty of room to experiment with colour, layout and different finishes.
What are rectangle stickers best used for?
Rectangle stickers are useful for branding on parcels, product packaging, promotional handouts and merchandise, especially when you want to keep a consistent shape.
They're also a good choice for information-led artwork, such as short messages and website addresses, because the rectangular space is predictable and easy to arrange.
What's the difference between rectangle stickers and die cut stickers?
Rectangle stickers have four straight sides and square corners, regardless of the outline of the artwork inside.
Die cut stickers follow a custom outline instead, such as the shape of a character, logo or illustration. If you'd rather have the sticker cut around your artwork, take a look at our Die Cut Stickers.
Can I order rectangle stickers in custom sizes?
Yes. You can order portrait or landscape rectangle stickers in any size within our standard production limits.
Enter the finished width and height you need, and make sure your artwork has the same proportions. We won't stretch or distort your design to make it fit. If the exact dimensions are important, check your file carefully or ask us for help before ordering.
Do rectangle stickers have square or rounded corners?
Our rectangle stickers have straight edges and square corners.
If you'd prefer a similar shape with curved corners, take a look at our Rounded Corner Stickers. They keep the overall rectangular layout but have a softer outline.
Can rectangle stickers have a white border or be printed right to the edge?
Yes. You can choose a white border around your design or have your artwork printed right to the edge.
For full-bleed printing, the background needs to extend slightly beyond the cut line, so small cutting variations don't leave unwanted gaps. Our Artwork File Guide explains how to prepare this.
What materials and finishes are available for rectangle stickers?
Our rectangle stickers are available in a wide range of materials and finishes, including gloss, matte, clear, holographic, glitter, chrome, fluorescent, heavy duty and egg shell.
Each material has different characteristics, so it's worth choosing one that suits how you plan to use your stickers.
If you're looking for a more environmentally friendly option, you can explore our Eco-Friendly Stickers range separately.
Are rectangle stickers supplied individually or on sheets?
Our rectangle stickers are supplied individually, making them suitable for giveaways, merchandise and adding to customer orders.
If you're applying lots of the same rectangular design to packaging or products, our Custom Labels come on sheets instead, with repeated copies of the same artwork for easier application.
