You can get custom stickers in any shape or size from us, here are a few recommendations to consider when designing them;

Clients should supply high quality artwork for their personalised stickers in one of three ways, either upload your artwork with the order on the product page or simply design it online.
If you are designing for custom shape labels you&#;ll need to supply a vector file in PDF format. You&#;ll need to include a cutter guide so we know where to cut your labels and stickers.
Your main advantage is that you are creating something unique. A custom label will stand out even more with a unique design when compared to a standard size or shaped label.
You&#;ll also able to tailor the size of the label to the content that is required on it. Wasted space on labels costs money, choosing your own dimensions to fit your content will save you costs in the long run.
Increase your bottom line by ensuring you create labels that fit precisely the content provided on them.
Tying to get the perfect result for your product labelling can be quite a challenge. It&#;s often difficult to find label printers that will print vinyl labels to your exact requirements.
Many sticker printers will use off the shelf cutting dies, but this restricts you to certain sizes in their library. If you require a different size, then they&#;ll charge you for the manufacturing of a new cutting die.
So if for instance you have many different products with varying space for a label, it suddenly becomes very costly. Dies run anywhere from £100 to thousands depending on how complicated the cut needs to be.
Here at Stickythings Ltd we print & cut your custom labels digitally. This means that we don&#;t have the expensive manufacturing fees for cutting dies and we can instantly cut to your specific shape and size.
If you get the size slightly wrong the first time, we can simply amend the cutter guide layer on the artwork and get them perfect. It&#;s that easy.
We also offer a hard copy service where you can order a minimum run, often only £15 and see what the actual labels will look like prior to ordering a larger print run. This is ideal for photo shoots and prototypes where cost is a major factor.
No. We use roll materials, so there is nothing predetermined, meaning that you can use the Label Sizes & Shapes as a guideline to design within, but it&#;s also ok if it&#;s not exact.
In other words, we'll print and cut your label or stickers as a standard Round, Square, Oval or Rectangle design, if that&#;s what you want and how you have set up your design, but if your design has some intentional irregular shape to it, well cut it to that shape, no problems!
For example, your label might be a rectangle shape, but the top of your design has rounded edges and looks like a dome, that's fine, we'll cut it to that shape so long as your CUT layer is set up to cut out those edges; otherwise, we'll just print it and cut it as a rectangle.
Some may call this a Die Cut Label... and yes, we can do it, it's one of the options you can choose.
When it comes to label and sticker printing, we print on a quality range of materials, types and finishes to make sure we can bring your brand to life.
STANDARD / PAPER
With no plastic coating on these materials, they aren't 100% waterproof, but they are easy to write on, won't smudge, and have the added bonus of being kerbside recyclable.
PREMIUM / PET
The plastic coating on these materials makes them more durable and water resistant, though they have a higher shine than the paper option, meaning that they are not as easy to write on and prone to smudging.
The clear and silver materials really do look ahh-mazing with some white highlights in the design!
Setting up your print ready artwork isn't meant to be hard, but we do know that it can raise a few questions along the way, and there are definitely a few things we need you to do so we can create your label or sticker the way you imagine it to look.
FILE TYPE
The ideal file type is Adobe Illustrator (AI) or PDF, either way, you&#;ll need to make sure it has a separate PRINT & CUT layer.
The PRINT layer needs to extend by 2mm around your design into what's known as a bleed. That will make sure we don't cut off any important details in your design.
Contact us to discuss your requirements of custom label stickers. Our experienced sales team can help you identify the options that best suit your needs.
The CUT layer should be RED and set up to correspond with the exact, finished size or shape of your design.
So that means we need a print-ready file with 2 layers, PRINT & CUT!
Please do not include any crop or registration marks, and please provide a seperate file per design rather than a multi-page document.
Your designer will be able to assist you in setting these requirements.
ARTWORK
Make sure that you design with all your important details or elements at 1.5mm inside the CUT line so we don't accidentally cut anything off.
We recommend that the thickness of your lines, strokes and gaps should be no less 0.2mm.
Ideally, your design is created in a vector format, and if you're using an image, then it too, should be in CMYK and no less than 300DPI.
FONTS
Using a font size of 6PT or above as a minimum is important. We do want your text to be legible! We also require all fonts to be converted to outlines to avoid any problems when it comes to printing.
BLEED AREA
Please always allow for a 2mm bleed all around your design.
COLOUR
All our labels and stickers are printed digitally using CMYK+W so all the colours in your file should be converted to CMYK and not RGB or HEX.
Setting up your artwork isn't meant to be hard, but we do know that it can raise a few questions along the way, and there are definitely a few things we need you to do so we can create your stamp.
FILE TYPE
We can use a number of file types to create your stamp as listed below;
Not matter what file type you use, the artwork must be saved a at minimum 600dpi.
The production process uses precision laser etching to craft your stamp and requires the highest possible detail in your artwork file to deliver that.
If you're not confident in creating that yourself, we'd suggest engaging a designer to assist you in setting up your artwork, that way you'll know your going to get the best possible outcome.
ARTWORK
Highly detailed artwork is the critical element in delivering the best outcome.
The artwork must be supplied in BLACK + WHITE Essentially that's what your finished stamp will look like.
That artwork needs to be saved at a minimum 600dpi.
COLOUR
Your stamp is dry when it's delivered to you, meaning that the colour output of your stamp will come from whatever ink you decide to use, and the choices are literally endless.
