ARTWORK GUIDE

To get your stickers perfect, we need you to send us the artwork in the right way. Follow these simple instructions to format your artwork file correctly before sending. If you have any questions just give us a yell.

Bleed Area

What is bleed? It's the part of your design that will be chopped off. It's there to avoid any parts of the sticker being left white.

Add 3mm of bleed on all sides of your design. This ensures there are no unprinted edges during cutting.

Keep all important text, logos, and elements at least 3mm inside the final cut line. This prevents them from being trimmed off.

File Setup

  • Colour Mode

    Use CMYK for accurate color printing. RGB files may appear different when printed.

  • High Resolution

    Set your artwork resolution to 300+ DPI at actual size to ensure sharp, high-quality prints.

  • Outline Fonts

    Convert fonts to outlines or embed them to avoid missing or weird characters when printing.

File Checklist

Is your file saved as the correct file type?

Our preferred file formats are PDF but we accept AI, EPS, PSD, or high-resolution JPG and PNG

Have you sized your file?

Size your file to the size you want your sticker, particularly if you are supplying a non vector file such as a jpg or png. Upsizing these files can cause a low quality print.

Have you added a cut line to your file?

So that we know where to cut your design, where possible you should add a layer showing the line where you want the design to be cut. This is especially important if you are wanting to leave a white border where the edge of the design would not be visible.

Is your file the required resolution?

Check that your image is either a vector or at least 300dpi to ensure a sharp, high quality print.

Have you added bleed to your artwork?

Make sure you have a 3mm bleed around the edge of your design to avoid any white bits when cutting.

Fonts and detail

Try to avoid any tiny details or hard to read fonts. Though the print is high quality, tiny text may be hard to read. Big and bold is best for your stickers.

Outline fonts

For vector files, make sure you have outlined your fonts to avoid any unexpected results.

Colour Mode

Check that the colour mode of your file is CMYK and not RGB. While we can print the file if it is in RGB you may find that some colours are not quite what you were expecting.

Not sure about your artwork?

If you're not sure if your artwork meets the requirements, we are happy to have a look at it for you and help in anyway we can.
