Artwork Guidelines

If you are a graphic designer and you would like to submit your artwork to us, please read the following guidelines carefully before submitting your design

If you are not familiar with graphic design software don't panic! All you have to do is send us your logo and give us an idea of what size you would like your domed stickers to be and we'll do the rest. There's no need for you to read the artwork guidelines below.

Bleed

Parts of the artwork that are intended to print up to the trimmed edge of the domed sticker should be extended 3mm beyond the 'cut line' to give a 'bleed' (which allows for tolerance in the production process). Any text or images are recommended to be inset at least 2mm inside the cut line.

Colours & Colour Matching

Here at Stickers International, we are able to design stickers, from a variety of different colour standards. When specifying a colour you would like us to use for your sticker, we can accept any of the following methods of colour specification:

CMYK (e.g. 2,11,100,0)

Hexadecimal (e.g. #ffd900)

RGB (e.g. 255,217,0)

HSB (e.g. 51°,100%,100%)

Pantone® colours*

* We print in CMYK, if you supply us with a Pantone® colour we will try to match as closely as possible. RGB and other non-ink based colour systems will be converted to CMYK.

Fonts

We have a vast library of thousands of fonts on our system. If you are supplying your artwork to us with a rare font, it is often best to outline (or 'convert to curves') before sending, removing the need for us to have the font on our system.

Submitting Files

We accept logos and domed sticker designs in almost any format, but if the stickers has been designed using a vector based program it is always best to prevent rasterising the design. As such, our preferred file formats are vector based and are listed below:

.pdf

.ai

.eps

Other common but non-vector file formats include:

.jpg

.jpeg

.doc

As previously mentioned, we can open almost anything. In the unlikely event that you send us a file that we cannot open, we will contact you about your options. We can currently accept files via email up to around 6MB.

Please Note

We may have to alter your design if it is not feasible to be domed, such as if it contains pointed edges or tight internal radiuses. Corners must be rounded and need to have a minimum radius of around 1mm. Non-standard shaped stickers that require intricate doming like stars, donut rings or text may be subject to extra charges - please contact us for a quote. All orders will be given a digital proof before production which will show any of these changes. We are really happy to be able to offer a no-obligation free of charge artwork service to our customers.
