Preparing Your Artwork for Sticker Printing

Want your stickers to come out looking proper? Here’s what we need from you when you send over your artwork:

1. Size it right

Set your file to the exact finished size of your sticker (e.g. 7.5cm x 7.5cm).

2. Resolution

Go with 300 DPI. Anything lower will look soft or pixelated once printed.

3. Colour mode

Work in CMYK. RGB is for screens, not print, so colours won’t match properly otherwise.

4. Bleed

Add at least 3mm bleed on all sides. This stops any unwanted white edges after trimming.

5. Safe zone

Keep text, logos and anything important at least 3mm inside the cut line, so nothing gets chopped off.

6. Fonts

Convert all text to outlines/curves. That way we don’t need your font files.

7. File formats

We accept:

Vector files (AI, PDF, EPS) – best for logos and graphics

High-res raster files (PSD, TIFF, JPEG, PNG with transparency) – good for photos or detailed designs

8. Cut line (for custom shapes)

If you want a custom die-cut shape, add a separate cut line layer. Mark it in 100% magenta or use our templates.

9. Double check before sending

Make sure:

- Spelling is correct

- Colours are in CMYK

- Images still look sharp when zoomed in

10. Sending files

Send us a PDF, AI, or EPS with fonts outlined and layers intact. For simpler shapes, a high-res PNG works too.

What Are Egg Shell Stickers?

Egg Shell Stickers are made from a special brittle vinyl that behaves differently from the flexible vinyl used for most stickers. Once applied, the material cracks and flakes if someone tries to peel it away, making any interference more obvious.

We print our custom Egg Shell Stickers in full colour on white vinyl with an unlaminated matte finish. They're popular with artists creating street art stickers and businesses making tamper-evident seals and labels. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use, they grip both smooth and rough surfaces, making them a useful option when you want your stickers to stay put.

Regular vinyl is flexible, so you can often peel it away in one piece. Egg Shell vinyl is deliberately brittle and has a strong adhesive.

Once it's stuck down, trying to remove it causes the material to crack and flake into small pieces. That's what makes it useful when you don't want stickers to be removed cleanly.

Egg Shell Stickers are popular for street art, graffiti stickers, security labels, tamper-evident packaging and warranty seals.

Artists choose them because they're difficult to remove intact, while businesses use them to make attempted interference more noticeable. They're tamper-evident rather than completely tamper-proof, meaning they can reveal signs of removal rather than prevent it altogether.

Not easily. Egg Shell Stickers are designed to break apart when someone tries to peel them off, making removal much more difficult than with ordinary vinyl.

Removing them can involve scraping and may leave adhesive residue or damage delicate surfaces. We wouldn't recommend them for temporary stickers or anywhere you need to remove the design without leaving a trace.

Our Egg Shell Stickers adhere well to smooth surfaces such as glass, metal and plastic, as well as rougher surfaces including brick and concrete.

For the best results, make sure the surface is clean, dry and free from loose dust or debris before applying. We'd recommend testing first on delicate or painted surfaces, particularly if you're concerned about damage during removal.

Yes, our Egg Shell Stickers are waterproof and suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They can handle rain and everyday exposure to the weather, making them a popular choice for outdoor artwork and other applications.

As with any printed material, sunlight, surface conditions and exposure will affect how they age, so we don't specify a fixed outdoor lifespan.

Our Custom Egg Shell Stickers are printed in full colour on white destructible vinyl with a matte finish. The material is unlaminated, so there's no additional gloss or protective laminate over the print.

You can choose custom die cut shapes or standard shapes, including circles, squares and rectangles. All stickers are supplied individually, with an optional easy-peel backing to make application easier.

Both use destructible Egg Shell vinyl, but the difference is how they're cut. Die cut stickers have both the vinyl and backing cut to the sticker's outline. Kiss cut stickers are cut through the vinyl while leaving a larger surrounding backing, making them easier to peel and handle.

You can order individually cut stickers here, or explore our Kiss Cut Egg Shell Stickers for an alternative backing format.

Egg Shell vinyl is deliberately brittle, so it's worth taking a little extra care when applying it. Start with a clean, dry surface, gently peel the sticker from its backing and avoid sharply bending or folding the material. Position it carefully before pressing it down, as repositioning can cause it to break.

We also offer optional easy-peel backing, which makes separating the sticker from its backing easier, particularly with smaller or more detailed designs.
