Clear Stickers

File Setup for Clear Vinyl Stickers

Follow the guide below to prepare your artwork for printing on clear 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

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 clear effect (100% white ink).
   • Leave areas transparent or white to let clear show through and become transparent (0% white ink).
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 hazy effects.
