Die Cut Stickers

Set Up Your Artwork for Success 

To ensure your Custom Die-Cut Stickers print perfectly, follow these essential guidelines when preparing your artwork files: 

Artwork File Specifications: 

• Resolution: Minimum of 300 DPI (at your requested size) for crisp, high-quality prints. 
• Color Mode: Set your file to CMYK (not RGB), with Pantone colors converted to CMYK, as this will give you the most accurate color results. 
• File Formats Accepted: PDF, AI, PSD, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or EPS. 
• Preferred Files: Vector artwork (PDF, AI) or high-resolution raster images (300 DPI). 

Size Limitations for Die-Cut 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.

Die Cut Sticker Application Tips:

• Apply stickers to clean, flat surfaces for a secure hold 
• When applying, press down from one peeled end and smooth out to avoid bubbles 
• Take extra caution when applying to curved surfaces (like helmets or water bottles) to prevent wrinkles
• Glossy & matte laminations are durable outdoors and work well for bumper stickers, window decals, and more 
• These stickers are dishwasher- and microwave-safe, making them great for food-safe containers 
• Our custom stickers are weatherproof & waterproof, but not meant for full submersion (e.g., underwater use)
• Not designed for product labeling – If you need labels for bottles, jars, or packaging, check out our Custom Labels instead 
• Not food-safe – These stickers should not be placed directly on food or edible items 

When it comes to ordering custom stickers, one of the most important decisions you can make is figuring out the best size to get. Choose a size that is too small, and your design may get lost in the shuffle. Get a size that is too large, and it may fail to impress your fans or potential customers.

Here are a few size comparisons to things we see all the time.

A quarter is about an inch in diameter, and this size works great for supporting branding labels, or small easy to hand out stickers. 

An Oreo cookie is about 2 inches in diameter for a size that allows for an easy to see logo or visible designs, in a size that will still be easily seen if applied to the back of a phone or laptop.

Standard business cards are usually 2x3 inches, and ovals and rectangles in this size are popular options for custom stickers. This size is easy to share with your fans at events to get your logo out in the world.
