Actual Size
For the best results, provide artwork at 100% of the final print size at 300 DPI or higher. Vector files (PDF, AI, EPS, SVG) can be scaled to any size without quality loss.
Bleed & Safe Zone
Bleed / Cut / Safe
- Bleed: Extend artwork 1/8" (0.125") beyond cut line
- Cut Line: Final sticker size
- Safe Zone: Keep important elements 1/8" inside cut line
Color Guidelines
- Use CMYK color mode for accurate print colors
- RGB colors will be converted to CMYK and may shift slightly
- For specific brand colors, provide Pantone references
- Avoid using pure black (0,0,0,100) for large areas - use rich black instead
- White elements print as white - no need for transparency
Text & Fonts
- Convert all fonts to outlines before submitting
- Minimum font size: 6pt for best readability
- Avoid thin strokes or fine details smaller than 0.5pt
- If using Photoshop, rasterize text layers at 300+ DPI
Die Cut Stickers
For custom-shaped (die cut) stickers, include a separate cut path:
- Create a vector cut line in a separate layer
- Use a solid stroke color (commonly magenta or cyan) for the cut path
- Avoid complex shapes with too many points or sharp corners
- Minimum detail size: 1/8" for reliable cutting
