File Setup for Holographic Vinyl Stickers

Follow the guide below to prepare your artwork for printing on holographic vinyl. This method is suitable for non-vector files such as PNG or PSD.

File Requirements

  • File Type: Flattened .png or layered .psd
  • Resolution: 300 DPI minimum
  • Size: Actual sticker dimensions plus 3mm bleed on all sides
    Example: For a 50mm x 50mm sticker, submit at 56mm x 56mm
  • Colour Mode: RGB

Understanding the Holographic Effect

Holographic material shows through wherever there is no white ink. Use a dedicated white layer to control which areas stay shiny and which print solid.

Creating the White Layer (Non-Vector Method)

  1. Download and open the PSD Template.
  2. Place your full-colour artwork on the Artwork layer.
  3. Use the White layer to control the holographic areas:
    • Fill solid areas with black to block the holographic effect (100% white ink).
    • Leave areas transparent or white to let holographic material shine through (0% white ink).
    • Use shades of grey to create semi-transparent white ink areas — the darker the grey, the more ink will print. Black is 100% white.
  4. Ensure the White layer sits above your artwork layer.
  5. Save your file as:
    • .psd with separate “Artwork” and “White” layers
    • or two separate .png files:filename.png (artwork)filename_white.png (white layer)

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Do not merge the white layer into your artwork.
  • Do not use low-resolution or blurry images.
  • Do not use semi-transparent edges unless you’re intentionally creating soft holographic effects.
