Helpful answers about creating and sending your artwork and designs
What file formats do you accept?
+We accept all file formats (JPG, PNG, DOC, XLS, PPT). Vector files are preferred as they are more sticker friendly and produce the best results for your stickers. Example of vector files: EPS, AI, PDF, SVG.
For best results, we recommend minimum resolution of 300dpi and your artwork should be in CMYK mode. Higher resolution means a better print result.
Do I have to include the cutline in my design?
+ No, you don’t! We will do that for you. We will automatically add a 3mm white (or your sticker background colour if possible) border around the artwork. This thickness can be changed but must be at least 3mm.
This border ensures that your printed material is not cut off in production.
This border doesn’t have to be white. You can have a full bleed sticker which means colour around your sticker rather than white. Just remember to ensure all your printed information is within the safe area 6mm from the edges.
Can I make my own cutline?
Feel free to indicate the cut line yourself and provide this as a vector file. We recommend doing this with a vector based stroke.
For a better cut result, round the corners to 3mm. Rounder corners also have better adhesion as sharper and thinner corners can catch and lift.
What is the smallest font that you can print?
We can print as small as 4pt font however we wouldn’t recommend anything under 6pt. Be mindful that you still want text to be legible. Why, hello there! This is what font size 6pt looks like.
Remember to convert all fonts to outlines. There are so many available fonts which makes it impossible for us to have all of them. By converting text to outlines, we will then be able to see your font properly.
Steps to convert fonts to outlines in Adobe Illiustrator:
1. Open file in Illustrator
2. Select all text in the file
3. Select Type, Create Outlines (Shift + Ctrl + O or Shift + Command + O)
How accurately are my stickers cut?
The stickers can have marginal cutting errors of +/-1mm. We cannot guarantee 100% accuracy with cutting however constant maintenance and calibration of our hardware ensures tight accuracy.
We recommend leaving a 3mm bleed around the boarder of your design.
Can you print Pantone colours?
At Stickers24, we print CMYK colours. If requested, we can try to match Pantone colours to their CMYK equivalent but cannot guarantee exact colour matching. Also, RGB colours are extremely hard to match but we will try our best.
For the best printing results, your artwork should be in CMYK mode.
Please note that colours may vary on different monitors and are slightly different in person.
