Can you print QR Codes?

Please reach out with any questions, we are happy to help you decide on a size for your QR code! Contact us
What does the size selection mean in terms of my design?
Selecting a size for your custom stickers means you are selecting the dimension of the longest or widest part of your sticker. For example, if your design was 1x2" and you wanted a 4 inch sticker, we would scale your sticker so it would print as 2x4".
If you would like to customize specific dimensions of your design, please reach out to our customer service team here.
How many designs can I order?
For every custom sticker product, the first two designs are free. Every design after that will be $2 per design.
For example, if you order 50x stickers and want 5 designs split into 10x stickers each, we would charge you an additional $6.
To add additional designs to your order, please reach out to our customer service team at support@customstickers.com
Can you create a design for me?

Sticker Types
What are die cut stickers?
Die cut stickers are cut to the shape of your design or logo. They are our most popular style of sticker. The die cuts give them a premium look even before they have been peeled or applied to a surface.
What are kiss cut stickers?
Kiss cut stickers are stickers that have not been cut through the backing paper. The backing paper acts as a frame for the sticker and lets you add additional information about your brand, event, or artist.
What are transfer stickers?
Transfer stickers are stickers with multiple pieces that are arranged on transfer tape so you can apply them to a window or other surface. For example, letters and text.
What are clear stickers?
See our Clear vinyl stickers. We typically add a white layer of ink under the colored portions of your design to make them more opaque. Clear stickers don't have the same color vibrancy as standard vinyl stickers, due to the transparent nature of ink.
Can you make holographic stickers?
Yes, we print holographic stickers. Holo stickers are a great way to make your design pop. They create an irridescent effect in the light. We recommend using art with high contrast for best results.
What finish options do you have?
We offer both matte and glossy finish options. Matte is a bit more popular and is our default for free stickers and our sticker library.
Artwork
How do I show my cutline on my artwork?
We will automatically add a cut line to your design. You can review the cutline through our proof process, and request changes as necessary. If you'd like to specify your own cut line, you can do so in Illustrator by adding a vector path.
What file formats do you accept?
Our team can work with virtually any file format. We will reach out if there are any issues with your file.
Can you enhance the resolution of my design?
Yes, our team will automatically enhance the quality of low resolution art and designs. If there are any issues, we will reach out. For best results, we recommend submitting your design in 300ppi.
Can I request revisions to my proof?
Yes, we offer free design proofs with unlimited revisions so you know your stickers will turn out exactly how you want them.
Note that once you have approved your proof we immediately start printing your stickers so we can't make further changes.
To make sure we get orders printed quickly, we automatically print any designs that haven't been approved after two business days. Please check your spam folder if you don't see your proofs show up.
How do I setup my design file for full bleed?
You can leave a note at checkout if you want your stickers to be printed full bleed.
To cut full bleed stickers, we bring the cut line inside the artwork by about 0.03in, so make sure you don't leave any critical elements of your design on the very edge of your artwork.
Can I print multiple designs for one order?
Because each design requires it's own setup time, we typically offer just one design per individual order. However, if you have multiple designs, we can offer custom quotes with our best pricing plus a small setup and design fee. Our Design fee is $3 per additional design.

Proofs

Please reach out to our customer service team with any questions or concerns.
Returns, Refunds & Shipping
We have low error rates. However, if there is any issue with your stickers please contact us with a photograph and description of the problem and we will work with you to resolve it.
Do you offer refunds and replacements?
Because all of our stickers are 100% custom, we cannot accept returns or refunds except in the case of quality issues.
For example, we will refund or replace any order that we printed in the wrong size, or that doesn't match the proof.
If the quantity is incorrect, we will replace the missing stickers.
We may request that you return a defective order so that we can evaluate it and improve our processes.

How do business days work?

For example, if your order ships on a Wednesday, and the delivery estimate is 3 business days, you can expect it to arrive by the following Monday (assuming there are no holidays).
