Custom Stickers

If your design does not meet the printing requirements, our team will communicate the concern and discuss how we can remedy the file.
Note that any additional changes will cause a delay in the turnaround time. To ensure that your file meets all printing guidelines, download a template and create your design on that file. Review the file for the following before submitting or uploading it on the site:

• The color tone is in CMYK
• Resolution is at least 300 dpi
• The printed design follows the bleed, trim, and caution lines

White vinyl sticker is the most durable and only waterproof material.

We accept files in the following formats: PDF, EPS, PUB, PSD, JPG, JPEG, or TIF.

The smallest size depends on the format you select:

• Singles: 1.5” x 2.5”
• Roll: 0.5” x 1”
• Sheet: 4” x 6”
• Kiss-Cut: 2”x 2”

Uncoated white paper stickers have a writable surface. This material is popular for stickers used on delivered packages or envelopes.

Since all materials are permanent adhesives, they will leave a residue or mark once removed.

We recommend the roll stickers for large quantity orders. Roll stickers are easier to apply quickly whether done manually or using a label dispenser. Sticker singles are more suitable for small orders starting at 25 pieces, letting you hand them out easily or insert them in your packages.

The cost will depend on the quantity, size, shape, material, and finish of your sticker. After inputting your specs, the online calculator will load the total price and unit cost for each piece. Note that the price increases with a faster production time and other advanced options such as rounded corners or a custom trim.

BOPP materials (clear, white, and metallic plastics) are used on items such as beer, water, and wine bottles. These work best for indoor use on items that require refrigeration, making them water- and oil-resistant. None of them can be written on with a standard marker or pen.

White sticker paper is used for indoor products that won’t be exposed to water or other outdoor elements. This material is also not writable.

Both paper and BOPP materials come with either gloss or matte laminate.

The number of stickers per roll depends on your chosen size and shape. The average measurement per roll is at 3” in diameter. You may contact our printing experts if you need a specific number of stickers per roll.

The unwind direction determines where your artwork will be printed on each roll sticker. It also shows the direction from which the stickers will unwind from the core. The direction is indicated according to the copy on your custom sticker printing design:

• Top of copy
• Bottom of copy
• Right of copy
• Left of copy

Our design templates include margins, trim lines, and safe areas to ensure everything lines up correctly. Take advantage of these guides by organizing all important elements like text, logos, and images at least 1/8" inside the safe zone. We also recommend asking for a proof upon sending your design draft and review it carefully. If your proof is centered, your final prints will be centered too.

Slight cutting shifts are common in printing, and this may result in uneven and crooked borders. To minimize this, make borders at least 1/8" thick and place them slightly inside the trim line. Avoid making borders too thin or placing them too close to the edge of your design.

Convert your design file from RGB to CMYK color mode before printing. Most design programs use RGB by default to suit digital images. Switch to CMYK and tweak the colors so your designs look their best in print.

Note that factors like printer type, monitor calibration, and custom finish may affect your stickers’ colors. Always request a proof before going into full production to ensure you’re satisfied with the result.

If you want your new order to match previous colors, please reach out to us at 877-405-3949 or email us at customerservice@printplace.com with your order details. We will use the same color settings and printing facility to keep things consistent.

Yes, on both accounts. Our stickers use the standard permanent acrylic adhesive that sticks to most smooth surfaces. They are also weather-resistant and can be used indoors and outdoors.
