Custom rectangle sticker examples in pink with a white heart

How custom rectangle sticker ordering works: artwork and proofs

Ordering a custom sticker for the first time raises the same questions every time: what file do I send, where do I send it, and will I see it before it is printed? Here is how an order for our custom stickers runs from start to finish, using the custom rectangle sticker as the example.

Step one: pick the shape, size & finish

The rectangle product offers Regular and Laminated options and multiple sizes. Check the actual size and quantity controls and current total before paying. The description does not confirm every size or minimum run. Measure the usable area on the packaging rather than assuming a size name guarantees fit.

Step two: send us your artwork

There are two ways to get your design to us, and both are fine. Upload it during checkout, or place the order first and email the artwork to us afterwards. The second route suits anyone whose designer is still finishing the file, or who is ordering from a phone. The listing says it plainly: upload your artwork during checkout or email it to us after your order is placed.

Send the clearest original artwork you have and confirm accepted file types, resolution and print dimensions before ordering. A raster image such as a PNG has a fixed pixel count; it is not guaranteed to remain sharp at any size. Keep editable originals where available and ask for a file check if you only have a screenshot or small image.

Step three: approve the free digital proof

The rectangle sticker listing includes a free digital proof for approval before printing. Use it to check spelling, contact details, layout and the intended cut line. A screen proof is not a physical colour sample and does not guarantee exact colour matching on the finished material. Other custom products may have different processes; check their individual terms.

Read every word and confirm the agreed print dimensions. To check fit, use a paper template measured to those dimensions against your container; on-screen zoom is not a reliable ruler. Ask about any correction before approving. Proof approval does not establish that food or other regulated packaging meets legal labelling requirements.

Step four: print & delivery

After approval the order can proceed to printing. Our shipping policy allows five working days for manufacturing before collection or shipping, with delivery additional. Confirm how proof approval affects the production date and ask about current deadlines for a launch or event; do not treat manufacturing time as a delivery promise.

A few things people ask

Tell us about exposure to moisture, sunlight, cold storage or cleaning before choosing a finish. Request corrections before approving the proof, and confirm any revision or sampling arrangements rather than assuming unlimited revisions or a particular minimum quantity.

Start an order

Use the rectangle product's process above for that product. For other options, compare our sticker shapes and materials guide and confirm the chosen product's terms.
