01
Printed by people, not machines
Stickers are small, which is exactly why they go wrong. A logo that reads perfectly on a screen loses its detail at two inches across, and artwork built without bleed comes back with a white sliver on one edge. A dedicated Print Concierge checks your file at actual size before it goes on press, looking at whether fine detail survives the reduction, whether the background carries past the cut line, and whether anything important sits too close to the edge. If there is a problem we contact you first.
02
Choosing your size and shape
We print three shapes across seven sizes, and the right one depends almost entirely on where the sticker is going.
- Circular and square, 2 to 4 inches: the workhorse. Product seals, packaging closures, laptop and water-bottle stickers, giveaways.
- Rectangular, 2 x 3 up to 3 x 5: better when you have a line of text, an address or a barcode, because a rectangle wastes less space around type.
If the sticker is sealing a box or a bag, go smaller than instinct suggests. If it is meant to be read across a room, go larger and simplify the artwork to match.
03
What the material does
These are printed on white plastic rather than paper stock, which matters more than it sounds. Paper stickers tear when you try to remove them, wrinkle in humidity and stain if anything is spilled on them. Plastic handles moisture, resists tearing, and takes ink with a much sharper edge, so small type and fine lines hold. That makes them suitable for product packaging, food containers, cold storage and anything handled repeatedly. The white base also means your colours print true rather than picking up the tone of the surface underneath.
04
Getting your artwork print-ready
Send a print-ready PDF at 300 DPI in CMYK with 0.125 inch bleed on every edge.
- Keep text and logos at least 0.125 inch inside the cut line. On a two-inch sticker that margin is proportionally large, so design for it from the start.
- Avoid hairline rules and type below about 6pt. Neither survives at this scale.
- Circular stickers need the artwork centred deliberately; a design that is visually centred in a square will look off inside a circle.

Need a sticker designed?
Choose Design it for me and our professional design team will build your sticker for $75, laid out correctly for the shape and size you picked, and hand back a print-ready file you own outright. Stickers are often ordered alongside business cards so packaging and identity match.
06
Printing and delivery
Our press runs seven days a week and we ship nationwide from Florida. Order by 3PM ET and production starts the same day, with the arrival estimate at the top of this page updating live as you configure. Shipping is free over $120 and a flat $15 below that, so a larger run often costs less delivered than a small one.
