Special Instructions (Optional)
Set Up Your Artwork for Success
To ensure your Custom Shape Stickers print perfectly, follow these essential guidelines when preparing your artwork files:
Artwork File Specifications:
- Resolution: Minimum of 300 DPI for crisp, high-quality prints.
- Color Mode: Set your file to CMYK (not RGB), as this will give you the most accurate color results.
- File Formats Accepted: AI, PSD, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, PDF, or EPS.
- Preferred Files: Vector artwork (AI, EPS) or high-resolution raster images (300 DPI).
Size Limitations for Shape Stickers:
- Smallest: 1” x 1”
- Largest: 11” x 14”
Important Tips for Perfect Prints:
- Use vector files whenever possible for scalability.
- Embed all images and outline all fonts to avoid missing elements.
- Add 1/8” bleed beyond the cutline for a clean edge.
- Ensure important design elements are at least 1/16” away from the cutline to avoid trimming errors.
Why 300 DPI Matters
Artwork resolution plays a crucial role in print quality. Here's why 300 DPI is the standard for printing:
- Sharp, Detailed Prints: High DPI ensures your design looks clean and professional without pixelation.
- Accurate Colors: More pixels result in more precise color representation.
- Professional Quality: Avoid blurry, distorted prints that may harm your brand’s image.
