Sticker designs
Stickers look like the simplest design job and are full of small traps: cut lines that clip the artwork, detail too fine to survive die-cutting, and colours that shift on vinyl.
Overview
What this service covers
We design physical and digital sticker sets: character packs, promotional decals, product and packaging labels, planner and journal sets, and messaging stickers for WhatsApp, Telegram and iMessage.
Every physical design is built with a proper cut line, bleed and safe margin, so the file goes to a sticker printer without a round of corrections.
Process
Four stages, each with an approval point
Concept and set planning
We agree the theme, the number of designs and how the set hangs together.
Design
Artwork drawn with production constraints applied from the first sketch.
Cut line preparation
Cut paths built and checked against minimum detail sizes.
Production files
Print-ready vector plus previews and a specification sheet.
