Artwork Guidelines

To ensure high-quality sticker prints, follow these detailed guidelines for design and file preparation:

Software Supported

Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Affinity Designer, Adobe Photoshop, PDF etc.

File Formats

We prefer file formats are vector based and are listed below: AI, CDR, EPS, SVG or PDF.

Vector Graphics

A Vector image is a graphic that has been created in a drawing program (such as Adobe Illustrator, Macromedia Freehand or CorelDraw.). It uses paths to create polygons or lines and stores information mathematically. Vector art is resolution independent, which means that whether you enlarge or shrink the image, the output quality will be as high as you need it to be.

Image Resolution

Minimum: 300 DPI/PPI at final print size.

Text and Fonts

Use vector text where possible to ensure the best quality print.

Please outline (convert to curves) all used fonts before sending us your artwork.

Color Specifications

Spot Color, Pantone colors should be specified.

Special inks, Gold, Silver, Glow in The Dark, Fluorescent Ink.

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black).

Bleed

The very edges of the document are called the bleed area. Parts of the artwork that are intended to print up to the trimmed edge of the stickers should be extended 1.5mm beyond the ‘cut line’ to give a ‘bleed’ (which allows for tolerance in the production process).

Final Proof

If your artwork is suitable, we will email you a final proof for you to approve before we send your job to the press.

Approval

Customer must approve artwork prior to printing.

Customer-requested changes to sticker designs, whether the design was prepared by the customer or China Printing Online, which are made after final approval and after sticker printing and/or application will be subject to additional sticker production charges.
