Holographic Stickers

For the best possible product, we recommend the following for your art files:

• 300 dpi resolution or higher for printing
• Ensure your file’s color space is set to CMYK (otherwise colors may appear off)
• Upload any of these file formats with a transparent background: AI, PSD, PNG, SVG, TIFF, PDF, or EPS
• Vector or high-resolution raster art files are preferred for best results
• There are some size limitations with our individual stickers – our smallest size is 1”x1” and our largest size is 11” x 14”.

Holographic Specifics & Options
Make sure your files are set up for success! 

For the best possible product, we recommend the following for your art files:

• If you want more subtle holographic effects, adjust the inks of your artwork to be about 30% opacity or below.
• PLEASE let us know in the special instructions (after uploading your file) what you would like to show up as holographic in your artwork, or specifc an option below!
• The matte lamination can sometimes make the material look more metallic than holographic—something to be aware of when selecting that lamination.
• We add a white ink backup to help highlight the shimmer effects on these stickers. If you want certain areas of your design NOT to shimmer, make sure there is a white ink backup. No white ink means the shimmer WILL shine through. Please specify in the special instructions box!
• Lighter colors can often get lost in the design, especially if there is no white ink backup. Use darker colors to help add definition to your design.
• QR codes can be difficult to scan on the Holographic background. For these to work well, please make sure there is a solid white background behind and around your QR code.

Holographic Stickers grab attention with their shimmering, color-shifting effect, making them an ideal choice for businesses looking to create eye-catching promotions, giveaways, and branded merchandise. Their dynamic look makes any design more engaging and memorable. 

Holographic Stickers are used for:

• Branded Merchandise & Giveaways – Offer as event swag, trade show handouts, or retail freebies to create a lasting impression. 
• Retail & E-Commerce Branding – Include in customer orders or as part of limited-edition product drops to enhance customer engagement. 
• Marketing & Promotional Campaigns – Use for influencer kits, contest prizes, or bold direct mail campaigns that demand attention. 
• Event & Entertainment Branding – Perfect for concerts, festivals, and nightlife promotions where high-energy visuals matter. 
• Creative & Lifestyle Industries – Ideal for artists, musicians, and designers who want their work to shine—literally. 

Application Tips for Best Results:

• Apply stickers to clean, flat surfaces for a secure hold 
• Press down from one peeled end and smooth out to avoid bubbles 
• Take extra caution when applying to curved surfaces (like helmets) to prevent wrinkles 
• Glossy & matte laminations are durable outdoors and work well for bumper stickers, window decals, and more 
• Dishwasher-safe making them great for food-safe containers 
• 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.
