Sticker Printing

After selecting your preferred sticker type, you can customize its look with the following features:

Choose your desired shape and size.
Start with the standard shapes for any sticker design: square, rectangle, circle, or oval. All four choices come in a variety of large and small sizes to scale your design accordingly. Some of the recommended dimensions include:

• 3" x 3" for small circle or square stickers.
• 4" x 4" for larger square designs.
• 4" x 2" or 3" x 4" for medium sized rectangle stickers.
• Custom sizes available if you need specific dimensions.

Select a material that will protect your design against the elements it will be exposed to, such as water, light, and cold air.
Your choice of sticker paper will depend on what the label will be exposed to:

• White premium sticker paper is normally used on labels that will be primarily indoors. It comes in gloss or matte coating.
• BOPP comes in clear, white, or silver metallic colors. This material is recommended for liquid products that will be refrigerated and exposed to oil. It's waterproof and oil and chemical resistant.
• White Vellum and White/Cream Laid Texture is normally seen on wine bottles and used for its rustic texture. It is best stored in a refrigerator. It lasts about 4 hours in an ice bucket and does not have the oil and chemical resistance of BOPP.

Apply a coating that complements your design.
White paper sticker comes in gloss, matte, or high-gloss UV coating.

• Gloss provides a reflective shine on the surface and protects the design from scuff and scratches.
• High-gloss UV has a higher shine and vibrance that allows colors and details to stand out from afar.
• Matte gives an elegant, soft touch to the colors on your design and makes text easier to read.

Outdoor-friendly white vinyl and refrigerator-friendly BOPP comes in matte or gloss coating.

The textured materials come either uncoated for a writable surface or matte for the least glare and additional protection.

These printing guidelines ensure your personalized stickers don't encounter any issues or won't require any changes before proceeding to production:

1. Convert your artwork's color to CMYK.
Like any other professional printing company, all orders are produced in CMYK or full-color printing. Make sure the file's color is in CMYK and not in RGB before uploading.

2. Ensure an image resolution of 300 dots per inch (DPI).
Make sure all images on your file are at 300 DPI at full size. Stretching or enlarging an image to fit the canvas will reduce the resolution and result in a blurry or pixelated print.

3. Review the bleed on your artwork.
Make sure your design extends all the way to the canvas or paper's edge so that no detail is cut off upon printing. The bleed area will indicate how far your design should reach in order to prevent white lines from appearing on print.

Make sure all sticker files include an additional 0.125 inches of bleed on the edge. To create your artwork within the exact measurements, use our online design tool or download any of our available templates.

4. Submit a file in any of the prescribed file formats.

PDF is the ideal file format for printing, but we also accept the following:

• JPG
• TIF
• EPS

What is the best material for stickers that will be displayed outdoors?

The white vinyl sticker material is recommended for labels that will be displayed outdoors and exposed to different elements. Its waterproof feature protects your design.

BOPP is the best choice for stickers placed on refrigerated items. It is waterproof, oil, and chemical resistant, and retains the sticker design upon storage.
