PREPARING YOUR FILES FOR UPLOAD
Let's start by preparing your files for upload to ensure we make your sticker sheets perfectly, and in the way you envisaged them!
STICKER SHEET ARTWORK
In order to produce sticker sheets, we need TWO FILES from you. Background artwork and sticker artwork.
UPLOAD FILES:
- Background Artwork: Background artwork is the layer behind which your stickers will sit on top of. It should be 19cm x 12.5cm (7.5" x 5")
- Sticker Artwork: Your sticker layer must include all your sticker artwork on a transparent layer. Note: You can upload your sticker artwork as separate images if you don't have the ability to create transparent pngs. Maximum of 12 stickers per sticker sheet.
STICKER BORDER & CUTTING
As standard we add a 2-4mm White Outline around your stickers for cutting. You can add this outline yourself if you wish, however we will need to add 1-2mm of extra bleed room in order to cut inside your artwork leaving no trace of your background art around the edges.
ALTERNATE OPTIONS:
- We can also apply an alternative colour to white, just send us the HEX Code of the colour you wish to border your stickers (e.g #FFBC00 - Stickiply Yellow)
- We can apply no colour and just cut, this options leaves your background artwork around the edge of your stickers.
If you'd like one of our alternate options simply add a note to your order or artwork notes.
QUALITY
Ensure your upload/artwork is of the highest quality, at Least 1500 pixels or higher at 300 Dpi. The higher quality the artwork the better the print and cut. Pixelated or low quality uploads/artwork may be rejected.
COLOUR PROFILE
We use a 6 Tank Inkjet CMYK Dye-Based Printer by Epson to produce accurate and vibrant colours on your stickers and other prints. It is always advisable to use a CMYK Colour Profile when designing to ensure the closest likeness of digital images to print. Some RGB Colours like Neon Style Greens or Cyan Blues may be unachievable when printed.
SIZE
We offer a regular size as options for our sticker sheets however please please free to enquire about other sizes or custom shapes:
- 19cm x 12.5cm (7.5" x 5.")
FINISH
We offer two finishes to our stickers, Matte Laminated and Gloss Laminated. Here are the differences between each option.
- MATTE - Matte laminate (75 micron) coating offers a smooth, non-reflective, slightly dulled colour protection to your stickers, water resistant, scratch resistant and long lasting.
- GLOSS - Gloss laminate (75 micron) coating offers ultra-smooth, reflective, colour brightening protection for your stickers, water resistant and long lasting.
Note: Matte Vinyl & Lamination suits more simplistic artwork, pastel and muted colours and looks overall more premium. Gloss Vinyl & Lamination suits more complex artwork, produces accurate blacks and dark colours and makes for a reflective and wet-look sticker.

USA (United States) 🇺🇸
For US customers, all orders under $800 USD from the UK 🇬🇧 do not have any traditional import fees – this is called the de minimis exemption. Sales tax may apply depending on the state you reside and value of goods, so please check with your local government as this is applied by and paid to them.
The de minimus exemption doesn’t apply however, to goods made in China 🇨🇳, even if they’re shipped from the UK🇬🇧. U.S. Customs will charge fees on items of Chinese 🇨🇳 origin no matter the value. If your order includes Chinese-made raw materials (like our vinyls, laminates and other supplies) please see below for current and up-to-date information:
APRIL 2ND, 2025 - 10% TARIFF ON UK 🇬🇧 ORIGIN GOODS
As of April 2nd 2025, the United States introduced a 10% import tariff on UK origin goods. This means that if a product is manufactured in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧, U.S. Customs may apply an import duty equal to 10% of the order value. These charges are determined by U.S. Customs and are not within our control.

Products of Chinese origin may have faced tariffs of up to:
- 125% reciprocal tariff
- 25% Section 301 duty
- 20% IEEPA-based tariff
→ Total potential: up to 170%
Additionally, the $800 USD de minimis exemption was removed for Chinese-origin goods, meaning all shipments, regardless of value, could be taxed.

As of May 12th, 2025, the U.S. Government and China have agreed to a 90 Day Pause in tariff escalation. This pause has temporarily lowered tariffs from approx 170% to 30% on Chinese origin goods.
Under this agreement:
- Tariffs on Chinese 🇨🇳 origin goods entering the U.S. were temporarily reduced to 30% from 170%.
- ⚠️ This Pause is valid for 90 days and subject to renewal, reversal, or revision.
- The de minimis exemption remains suspended for Chinese-origin goods.
- The reduced rate still applies regardless of the shipping origin, so even UK 🇬🇧 shipments containing Chinese 🇨🇳 made goods are affected.
⚠️ IMPORTANT SHIPPING NOTICE FOR CHINESE 🇨🇳 ORIGIN GOODS
If your order contains products of Chinese origin mentioned above (e.g. printable vinyls, lamination films, magnets and other stickiply supplies), please select the UPS Shipping option at checkout.
As of 2nd May 2025, the U.S. has imposed:
- A $100 flat fee per package on Chinese🇨🇳 origin goods shipped via International mail (e.g. International Standard/Tracked which are passed to USPS).
- This increases to $200 per package from June 1st, 2025.
➡️ UPS and other commercial couriers are not subject to the same flat postal fee, and customs clearance is much faster and more predictable. They are however still subject to the 10-30% tariffs. To avoid unnecessary fees, delays, or returns, we strongly recommend using UPS for all supply-related orders.

Following the United Kingdom's departure from the EU, customers in EU member states may be subject to VAT, import duties, and handling charges.
