A print ready file means that we can print your artwork directly from your file. Your finished result is directly affected by the art you send. We have listed a few sticker artwork tips for you below to help. If you have any questions, give us a call..!
File Types
We prefer vector files where possible. SEE HERE for the difference. We accept .ai, .eps, .pdf, .svg, .jpeg, .tif, .zip files. We do not accept Indesign, MS Publisher, MS word or MS Excel sheets as print ready files. We can use these as indicator files for your artwork when we are designing your artwork. MS Paint and Text edit are NOT design programs.
Jpeg and Other Raster Guidelines
If you are submitting a JPEG, please check that your file is at least 300dpi (if it is a small sticker, please change it to 600dpi if possible). Please ensure that your file is sized to print size. IE if you need it at 100mm x 100mm, please check the file is 300dpi at 100mm x 100mm. If it is not, your image may not print as well as you might hope.
Outline Fonts in Vector Files
Please outline all your fonts in your vector files. To do this, select all the type in your file, and head to type/create outlines. This will convert it to a path. Your text will no longer be editable as a font, so please make sure you have finished before you have done this.
Embedding Images
If you have a raster image in a vector file, it will need to be embedded. The other option is to zip it up in one folder with your vector file and submit the zipped file to us.
Submitting Multiple Images
Please compress all your artwork into one zip file and send it through. Please name it something specific to you, not just ‘stickers’. If you have multiple images on a pdf, please place them all into one artboard, not 20. It wastes our time and will slow your order down.
Multi Page PDFs
If you have multiple images on a pdf, please place them all into one artboard, not 20. It wastes our time and will slow your order down.
