Will neon colors print exactly like on screen?
Short answer: not identically. Useful answer: it depends a lot on the line. What's actually happening: Screens are RGB, with a wider gamut than CMYK. Saturated greens, fluo oranges, deep reds and neon tones live on screen in a zone standard CMYK print doesn't reach. ColorTrue™ gets closest to neon. It runs 11 dedicated ink channels - including green, red and orange printed direct (not mixed from CMYK). Visible result: saturated greens and oranges land meaningfully closer to screen.Few readersHow to prep your file - bleed, safe area, colors
Recap for people who want to ship the file right the first time. Bleed: 1 mm on the contour. Extend the color / artwork 1 mm past the cut line. That way nothing essential disappears if the cut drifts slightly. Safe area: 2 mm inside. All important elements (text, logo, fine detail) sit at least 2 mm from the sticker's final edge. Resolution: 300 dpi. At the final sticker size. 300 dpi on a 5 cm sticker is not the same as 300 dpi on a 30 cm sticker. Color space: CMYK ideal fFew readersWhat's the minimum size for die-cut stickers?
1.5 cm on the longest side. Below that, cut lines get unstable on complex contours and fine graphic detail starts disappearing. If you really need smaller, ping us in chat - we'll see what's possible.Few readersCan you prep the artwork for me?
Yes, within reason. What we do at no extra cost: Adding bleed. Converting colors to CMYK. Small size or position tweaks. Building the cut line for die-cut. What we don't do (or do as paid work): Design from scratch. Logo redraw / heavy vectorization. Photo editing. Changes that alter the design's intent. The most efficient route is to send the artwork properly prepped from the start. If you're not sure, attach the file and describe what you need - we'll say upfront wheFew readersWhat's the minimum print size for sheet stickers?
1.5 cm on the longest side - same minimum as die-cut. Below 1.5 cm cut lines get unstable and fine graphic detail starts to disappear. If you have a case that genuinely needs something smaller, message us in chat with the file and we'll see if we can make it work without compromising quality.Few readersHow do I cut stickers to a custom shape?
The configurator covers two categories: Regular shapes: Circle Square / rectangle Rounded-corner rectangle Irregular shapes (contour die-cut): Cut tracks the artwork's contour exactly. Applies to any non-standard shape. Practical tip: send the artwork with a 1 mm bleed on the contour and at least 2 mm of internal padding around important elements (text, fine detail). That kills the risk of a slightly drifted cut eating something essential. Our team reviews every cut line beforeFew readersI have a pixelated image. Will it look good as a sticker?
Short answer: not better than it looks now. The sticker faithfully renders what your eye sees on screen at the chosen size. If the image is pixelated on screen, it'll be pixelated in print. How to lower the risk: Make sure the image is at least 300 dpi at the final size. Send the original (PSD, AI, vector PDF) if it exists - we'll work straight from vector when we can. For logos, avoid JPGs pulled from a website; ask your designer for the vector file. The configurator warns you whenFew readersWhat file format should print files be in?
We accept PDF, JPG, PNG, PSD. Vector preferred whenever you have it (PDF with text converted to outlines, or editable AI). Minimum specs: Resolution: 300 dpi at the final sticker size. Color space: ideally CMYK. We'll convert if needed, but if your brand palette is sensitive, ship CMYK from the start. Bleed: 1 mm for die-cut and sheet. Fonts: outlined.
