Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about paper margins, DPI resolution, sticker vinyl, and proofing.
Half-Inch Margin & Print Specs
What is the mandatory half-inch (12.7 mm) margin on A4 and A3 sheets?
Every physical printing sheet reserves at least 12.7 mm (0.5 inch) on all 4 sides. This non-printable zone is strictly enforced by our calculator to allow space for commercial printer feed rollers, pinch wheels, and optical sensor registration crosshairs. It guarantees your stickers never get cut off or clipped at the borders.
What are the exact usable printing areas for A4 and A3?
For A4 Portrait (210 × 297 mm), subtracting 12.7 mm on both sides yields exactly 184.6 × 271.6 mm usable area. For A3 Portrait (297 × 420 mm), subtracting the margins yields 271.6 × 394.6 mm usable area.
What artwork formats do you support?
We accept PNG (with transparency supported), JPG/JPEG, WebP, SVG vectors, and PDF files. For highest print clarity, vector SVG or 300 DPI transparent PNG is optimal.
How do you calculate print resolution (DPI)?
Our designer divides your uploaded image pixel count by the selected physical sticker dimensions in inches. If the resulting DPI is 280+ it marks it as "Excellent", between 180-280 as "Acceptable", and below 180 it displays a "Low Resolution Warning" so you can choose a smaller size or provide a higher resolution file.
Materials & Durability
Are your stickers waterproof and outdoor safe?
Yes! Our Premium White Vinyl, Clear Vinyl, and Rainbow Holographic Vinyl are 100% waterproof, tear-resistant, UV-resistant, and dishwasher safe. They will not peel or run when exposed to rain, sunlight, or condensation on water bottles.
What is the difference between Gloss and Matte finish?
Gloss finish gives colors a vibrant, reflective, glass-like shine. Matte finish gives an elegant, silky, non-reflective appearance that is soft to the touch and glare-free under bright lights.
What does the UV Protective Laminate do?
Our optional UV Protective Laminate adds a transparent defensive armor layer over the printed ink, shielding it from harsh sun exposure and heavy abrasive scratches.
Orders, Shipping & Production
How long does production and delivery take?
