Glossy Paper Labels

Make sure your files are set up for success!

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: AI, PSD, JPEG, 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 labels – our smallest size is 0.5”x0.5” and our largest size is 11”x14”.
• We require a ⅛” safety margin surrounding your entire label, so keep that in mind when setting up your design.
• If you are looking to wrap your labels all the way around something (like a small tube or curved jar, etc) we recommend making the size about ¼” larger so that you can overlap the label.
• There may be specific requirements in your industry for labels! Please make sure you check those to ensure your labels are set up accordingly and include all necessary information.

Cutting Corners (Literally—We never cut corners figuratively):

• Laser cutting also means rounded corners, which has the added benefit of preventing peeling once your labels are applied. Depending on your designs, we are able to cut tighter corners in many cases.
• To cut tight corners for your Matte Labels, let us know in the Additional Comments box in your cart.
• Our design team will let you know if we can cut tight corners with your designs.
• Our typical corner radius is 1/8" (0.125"). Our tight corner radius will be 1/25" (0.04").

Glossy Paper Label Application Tips:

• For best results, apply labels to clean, flat surfaces to ensure a strong hold. 
• Start from one edge and smooth out as you apply to prevent air bubbles. 

• Take extra caution when applying to curved surfaces (like helmets and water bottles) to prevent wrinkles.

• Not food-safe – Do not place these labels directly on food or edible items. 
• These labels are not outdoor durable – For a weather-resistant option, check out our Custom Sticker products.
• Glossy Paper Labels are not waterproof. If you need a waterproof option, check out our Glossy Labels.
• Perforations cannot be added between labels on the backing.  
• These labels are not compatible with inkjet or laser printers and cannot be printed on after production. 

Product labels often have specific size requirements, and incorrectly sized labels may actually send out the wrong message for your brand.

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.
