Die-cut stickers follow the outline of your artwork instead of a standard rectangle. The proof should show the finished size, cut contour, border, and small details that need to survive cutting. Include quantity and the intended surface so the print material and finish match how the stickers will be used.
To distinguish printed art from the requested outside edge, label those elements before upload. The sticker artwork preparation notes explain how to send the best available source file for review.
A die-cut request should have a reason for following the image instead of remaining rectangular. These situations make that edge decision visible:
Provide the artwork and identify the requested outside boundary. Note whether empty space around the image is intentional.
View the design at its proposed width and height. Flag any letter, notch, opening, or narrow projection that no longer reads clearly.
List each file with its quantity and intended surface. Describe handling, exposure, cleaning, and planned replacement without assuming a material.
Approve the physical dimensions, printed perimeter, boundary, version key, and the construction stated in the quote before release.
No. A requested boundary may follow the image closely or leave a visible margin. Show which result you want in the proof; the feasible construction remains subject to the quoted specification.
A large on-screen view hides the limits of the finished scale. Very small voids, thin projections, or crowded letters can lose clarity after reduction. Review a size-accurate proof and approve any simplification.
Sometimes, but not automatically. A small version may need wider gaps, fewer details, or different type treatment. Treat materially different sizes as separate review states.
Give each version a unique filename and place its exact size and quantity in a table. That map is more reliable than describing changes across an email thread.
Send the best source artwork available and make the intended edge unambiguous on a labeled layer or reference. The <a href="/artwork-setup">artwork setup guide</a> explains supported upload types; final preparation is confirmed for the project.
That requires review of the actual surface, condition, exposure, handling, cleaning, and expected change. No universal adhesion or removal result is promised; the proposed material and limitations belong in the quote.
Send your artwork, approximate size, quantity, deadline, and a photo of where the sign will go. Include a delivery ZIP code for shipping or an installation address for site work.
We fabricate custom signs and offer direct shipping nationwide. For sign installation in San Jose and the Bay Area, we review the surface, access, and mounting requirements with your project.
