Design guidelines

We recommend using our templates and guides for preparing your print-ready PDF.

You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.

If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.

For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.

Here you can find the customised submission specifications for contour cutting.

If you want your product to be cut to a custom shape, you will have to add it as a vector shape on top of your design. Make sure the width of the stroke is 1 pt, the colour is a 100% magenta spot and named "cutcontour". You only need to add one contour line. If you want us to adjust it for you, please send the custom shape on a separate page in the desired position.

Please note that bleed is still needed for custom shaped designs, meaning your design must go at least 5 mm past the contour cut line.

Use CMYK as the colour mode.

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.

Resolution of at least 150 dpi.

Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 150 dpi.

Add 5 mm bleed and keep 10 mm safety margin

During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

Add a 5 mm bleed around all edges of your design.
Keep important elements 10 mm away from the edge or folding lines.
Avoid using borders or frames on smaller formats like labels.

Text and fonts specifications (Min. font size is 12 pt)

For this product, the minimum font size is 12 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

Fonts must be embedded or outlined.
If your design contains small black text, make sure it is 100 % black (Cyan: 0 Magenta: 0 Yellow: 0 Black: 100).

Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.

Lines should be at least 3 pt.

The lines should be at least 3 pt.

Check your artwork for overprint.

Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.

Frequently asked questions

What is this product? And what can I use it for?

Vinyl stickers are frequently used as promotional material. A vinyl sticker is similar to a normal sticker, however, a vinyl sticker is suitable for outdoor use. The stickers have a plastic-like structure and are great for advertising your brand.
This product can be used:
• To introduce people to your business
• Promote discounts or events
• Provide information
• Advertising stickers for vehicles

I can't find the product I'm looking for. Can I request a quotation?

The Vinyl Stickers chosen in most cases can be selected via our website.
If your material type, weight, quantity, size or other specification is not listed, you can request a quotation. It is also possible to request binding in another colour. We will send you our offer within 1 working day. Depending on the complexity, this can take a bit longer.

Can Vinyl Stickers be used outdoors?

All adhesive vinyl stickers can be used indoors and outdoors. The weather conditions influence the lifespan of an adhesive vinyl sticker. Also, the choice of materials plays a role. For prolonged use, the best option is a white or transparent polymer for printed vinyl stickers.

What materials can I choose from?

Polymer White (2-3 years, 75 μm): Provides good coverage on a coloured surface, has an insoluble adhesive layer and is rain and sun resistant. The adhesive is environmentally friendly and has a long lifecycle.
Monomer white (12 months, 70 μm): Soft white PVC film, for strong colours for short and medium-term use, inside and out.
Transparent Monomer (12 months, 70 μm): Soft transparent PVC film, for strong colours for short- and medium-term use, inside and out.
Transparant Polymer (2-3 years, 75 μm): Perfect for windows and glass panels, has an insoluble adhesive layer and is rain and sun resistant. The adhesive is environmentally friendly and has a long lifecycle.

Note: Keep in mind that if you choose a matte lamination, it reduces the transparancy of the stickers, giving it a cloudy effect.

Can Vinyl Stickers be pasted on any surface?

No, Vinyl Stickers cannot be pasted on any surface. Vinyl Stickers are only suitable for flat surfaces such as glass, aluminium, and any type of organic polymers such as polyethylene.

Can transparent stickers be printed with a white design?

No, but if you'd like your transparent stickers to be printed with a white design, please contact our quotes team.

What is the best sticker to use on a car, scooter or bus?

In this case we suggest magnetic signs/stickers. This is because the chances of the paint getting damaged/scratched are much lower, you can easily remove the magnetic signs. However, depending on the size of the sticker, it can be difficult to make it stick for long periods of time.

Note: Leaving the magnetic sign on the car for more than a couple of days may lead to a difference in colour between the spot where the sticker was placed and the rest of the car.

Which carriers are used for the delivery?

For the delivery of Vinyl Stickers, we use our most reliable carriers which, in most cases, are UPS or DPD.
We also use DHL and our own courier service. However, these carriers are only used for certain products (depending on the size, the turnaround and the quantity).

What is the fastest possible turnaround?

The fastest possible turnaround varies depending on the specifications you select, and will always be stated at the bottom of the page. To make sure that your order is delivered at the indicated time, it is important that we receive your file with your design for the product by the stated cut-off time. This way, the product can be moved into production promptly.
Please note: The delivery date shifts a day every time the deadline for submission has passed. This is also the case if the file is rejected by us and corrected artwork isn't submitted before the next cut-off time.

Which production techniques do you use?

UV-print: The product is printed with eco-friendly UV ink, which is immediately cured with a UV light. Curing ensures that the wet ink doesn't spread once printed, offering sharper quality prints.
• Latex-print: The film is printed with eco-friendly latex inks. These inks are water based and doesn't contain harmful substances. The latex film is very secure and sturdy, and will be placed on top of the material.

Frequently Asked Questions for Vinyl Sticker Printing

What are vinyl stickers?

For those not familiar with custom vinyl stickers, this self-adhesive printed product provides exceptional value and quality. HelloPrint personalised vinyl stickers are made for several surface types, from smooth to curved, with our tough, impeccably finished printed vinyl stickers ideal for use both indoors and outdoors.

What are vinyl stickers made from?

Our personalised vinyl stickers are created using matte or transparent PVC. Both of these material options provide a highly durable, long lasting and flexible product that’s perfect for indoor and outdoor use.

Where should I use personalised vinyl stickers?

The strong, weatherproof and water resistant nature of printed vinyl stickers makes them extra suitable for use outdoors. They are particularly resilient against moisture and sunlight, with our robust custom vinyl stickers not fading or peeling, and your designs able to be used for a very long time as a result.

These qualities mean they are regularly used as outdoor signage, and as decoration for windows and vehicles. Our custom vinyl stickers are great choices for businesses in particular. They’re popularly used to advertise brands, share discounts, provide information, and promote events and other initiatives proudly and professionally.

How do paper stickers compare to small and large vinyl stickers?

Known for their cost effectiveness and eco-friendly nature, paper stickers are often mentioned in the same breath as our vinyl stickers. Their lower price point makes them particularly fitting for larger orders, with those looking to add flourishes to packaging and promotional materials, choosing this easy to print and highly customisable option.

Unfortunately, our self-adhesive paper stickers are not suitable for outdoor applications. Choose from 28 different sizes and 3 different shapes, select your finish and print technique, and customise your material weight to print stickers for indoor use only.

Can vinyl stickers be used outdoors?

They certainly can! With their incredible quality, durability and weather resistance, our custom vinyl stickers are perfect for outdoor use. They’ve been designed and developed with the often harsh and hugely unpredictable great British weather in mind, with both the material and finishing allowing them to withstand the toughest conditions.

It’s not just wind and rain that our bespoke vinyl stickers are resistant to. Exposure to light and heat can cause lesser quality printed vinyl stickers to fade and deteriorate. Our UV resistant custom vinyl stickers have no such problems, ensuring a look that stays vibrant and truly eye-catching.

Want your personalised vinyl stickers to last even longer? Our vinyl sticker makers suggest white or transparent polymer material for a longer lifespan.

Which sticker material is best for me?

Deciding if our bespoke vinyl stickers or self-adhesive paper stickers are right for you, all comes down to your individual requirements. Those looking to use their stickers outdoors will find our printed vinyl stickers to be the best choice. While indoor applications can be given a colourful, cost effective and eco-conscious edge courtesy of our paper stickers.

How do I apply vinyl stickers?

Don’t ruin your perfectly finished, bespoke vinyl stickers with poor application. We may make creating your own vinyl stickers a breeze, but we have to leave application to you. Thankfully, there are a few tips and tricks you can use to paste your printed vinyl stickers onto your desired spot with ease and precision, and without bubbles!

It all starts with the right surface: the surface you choose should ideally be smooth and flat for the best results. Glass, mirrored and metal surfaces are perfect foundations for personalised decal sticker application.

Next, clean the surface properly to remove any dust, grease and other debris. All you need is a lint-free cloth and a gentle cleaner (such as isopropyl alcohol or soap and water) to do just that. Allow the surface to air dry thoroughly before applying your custom vinyl stickers. When applying your personalised vinyl stickers, we recommend measuring and marking your desired position first. Remove the backing of your vinyl sticker slowly and with minimal stretching before applying to the surface in the position you marked out earlier. Smooth the sticker from the centre outwards to get rid of any air bubbles. You can use a squeegee or a credit card wrapped in a microfibre cloth to do this.

If air bubbles are large or more stubborn, apply a little gentle heat to make the surface easier to smooth. Once your personalised vinyl stickers are bubble-free, give them some time to set. You should ideally allow 24 to 48 hours, avoiding water exposure and movement until it has bonded fully.

How do I maintain my vinyl stickers?

Making the most of your custom vinyl stickers comes down to one thing: maintenance! After placing your printed vinyl stickers on the desired surface, you should conduct regular maintenance to keep it looking and feeling as good as the day you first applied it.

The first few days are crucial. You should allow your personalised decal stickers to bond properly before use, which means no exposure to water, moisture or chemicals (including cleaning agents). After it has fully bonded, you should clean it regularly with a soft cloth. Don’t scrub at your custom vinyl stickers too hard as this can damage its surface and the overall finish. For tougher stains and difficult to shift residue, wipe down with a simple mild soap and water solution. Tougher chemicals, like bleach and solvent based cleaners, can cause irreparable damage and discolouration, and should be avoided at all costs.

How do I remove vinyl stickers?

Removing your custom vinyl stickers is just as simple! The process starts with a little gentle heat, either from a hairdryer or heat gun. This will loosen the adhesive and make the sticker easier to peel away. Test on a small area first to make sure you are applying the right amount of heat.

Remember, slow and steady wins the race here. If you still feel resistance, apply more heat. A plastic scraper or old credit card can be used to separate the sticker from its surface.

How can you print your own vinyl stickers?

Create your own vinyl stickers with ease via HelloPrint. Our vinyl sticker printing services have long been called upon to help businesses and individuals enjoy bespoke vinyl stickers crafted to their exact specifications.

After selecting your shape, size, quantity, material and finish, you can get to work on its design. Pre-prepared artwork can be uploaded at checkout or sent to our vinyl sticker makers later. When creating your own vinyl stickers, we suggest using our templates and guides to ensure print-ready artwork that will translate perfectly to your personalised decal stickers.

Other vinyl sticker printing rules include using CMYK as your colour mode, having a resolution of at least 150 dpi, adding a 5mm bleed and keeping a 10mm safety margin. Text should be a minimum font size of 12pt, while lines must be spaced at least 3pt apart.

Remember, our Basic Artwork Check comes as standard with every order. Those looking for a more thorough review should select our Premium Artwork Check at extra cost.

What sizes are there for large personalised vinyl stickers?

Order printed vinyl stickers with widths up to 148cm and heights up to 1,500cm. Alternatively, choose from the following standard sizes: 10 x 10cm, 15 x 15cm, 21 x 30cm, 30 x 30cm, 50 x 50cm and 60 x 60cm.

Print Vinyl Stickers on a Range of Materials

Our choice of materials is what sets us apart from many other vinyl sticker makers. While all the material options here at HelloPrint guarantee the very best quality, each offers its own pros, cons and considerations, which may (or may not) make it the most fitting product for your requirements.

Customers looking for a long lifespan should choose our Polymer White material. This 75 μm adhesive layer can last 2 to 3 years with the right care. It’s highly resistant to rain and sun, as well as environmentally friendly too. Our Polymer White custom vinyl stickers look particularly great on coloured surfaces.

Our Monomer White printed vinyl stickers may offer a shorter lifespan (12 months on average) but they’re great for use indoors and out. This material is made for strong colours, with designs looking vivid and beautiful throughout.

For a transparent finish, our Transparent Monomer and Transparent Polymer are great options, with differing lifespans. Transparent Monomer typically lasts 12 months, while Transparent Polymer can be used for up to 3 years on windows, glass panels and other smooth surfaces.

Your Matte and Gloss Vinyl Sticker Maker

Confirming your material selection isn’t the end of the journey when you make your own vinyl stickers. Our custom vinyl stickers can be personalised further with gloss or matte lamination for the perfect finish.

Gloss lamination is shiny in appearance and is recommended by our vinyl sticker makers thanks to its colour enhancing, polished, vibrant finish and reflective sheen. Alternatively, our matte lamination process produces a smooth, non-reflective finish for a more modern and understated appearance. This finish reduces glare too, making the contents of your custom vinyl stickers more readable. You can also choose no finishing at all if this is your preference.

Please note, choosing matte lamination for transparent printed vinyl stickers is not recommended. The combination of the two produces a cloudy effect, which is a far cry from the clear, translucent finish you may have had in mind. White designs are also not suitable for decal printing on transparent materials. Feel free to contact our team for advice on your material selection.

Suitable Surfaces for Printed Vinyl Stickers

The placement of small and large vinyl stickers is particularly important. It can impact how long your bespoke vinyl stickers last, and not every surface is suitable for their application. Whether applying your vinyl stickers to glass, metal, plastic, wood or fibreglass, the rules remain the same. The surface must be flat and smooth to achieve the best adhesion.

While our custom vinyl stickers can be used on cars, scooters, buses and other vehicles, we’d recommend our magnetic stickers to prevent the scratches and scrapes that often go hand-in-hand with vinyl sticker removal. Remember to remove your magnetic sticker or sign every couple of days to prevent paintwork discolouration.

Good quality, long lasting printed vinyl stickers rely on a high standard of decal printing. Thankfully, you are in exactly the right place if you want to make your own vinyl stickers and put quality first!
