Preparing your artwork
In order to turn your digital designs into custom wall stickers, you’ll first need to make sure your artwork meets the following file requirements:
- Design your artwork to match the size you're ordering. Make sure your artwork dimensions correspond to the wall decal SKU you're ordering to ensure proper scaling.
-
Create a cutter line around your artwork. Use a spot colour and label it 'Cutter-Guide'. Please note: If you don't use a spot colour, the line will print on the final decal.
-
Add at least 1.5mm bleed around the design. This will ensure that there are no white edges showing when it’s cut out.
-
Note that transparent areas will appear white. Our wall decals are printed onto a polyester base. We cannot print white, so any transparent areas in your artwork will show as the material's white colour.
-
Use RGB colours and save your artwork as a single-page PDF. We recommend using RGB colour mode for the widest colour gamut, and a resolution of 300dpi.
- Supply your file as a PDF with the cutter-guide in place. The cutter line must be included in the same file as your artwork, not as a separate file.
