Specifics

ALL Stickers:
Submit artwork at 100% (same size as to be printed).

Artwork must have die cut shape and position indicated with a 2 pixel stroke on a separate layer.

Artwork must bleed 1/8" beyond die cut on all sides. That means if you have a 4" x 4" sticker, your file should be 4.25" x 4.25".

Live area (safety margin) is 1/16" within die cut. Keep all important text (legal, etc.) and graphics within the live (safety) area. That means if you have a 4" x 4" sticker, then your important text should be within 3.875" x 3.875".
