How to get your artwork sticker-ready
Good stickers start with good files. The good news: you don't need to be a designer to get it right, and we check every file before it prints.
Vector artwork (best)
- PDF, AI or EPS files are ideal. They stay sharp at any size.
- Convert your fonts to outlines before you send the file, so the text prints exactly as you designed it.
Image artwork
- JPEG, PNG or TIFF files all work.
- Make sure the image is 300 dpi at full size. For a 7.5 cm sticker, that's roughly 900 × 900 pixels. Anything smaller can look soft or pixelated.
- A PNG with a transparent background makes it easy to see exactly how your sticker will be cut.
CMYK or RGB?
CMYK files are preferred, because that's how printers mix colour. We also accept RGB files, but some colours can shift slightly when they're printed, especially very bright blues and greens.
Keep important bits off the edge
Text and fine details right at the edge of your design can get too close to the cut line. Leave a little breathing room and everything stays crisp.
Not sure? Send it anyway
We can help set up your artwork for print, including adding bleed, cut paths and outlines. Every order gets an online proof before printing, and nothing prints until you approve it.
