Kiss Cut Dieline (Shape of Sticker): supply a file that includes a vector path outline indicating the shape and size of your die cut sticker. The custom die line for your full color vinyl stickers should be as simple as possible or the order may be placed on hold. Keep your customized shape basic and smooth.
Cut Through Die Line (Sticker Backing Shape): choose to have your graphics centered on a rounded-corner rectangle or rounded corner square sticker backing, 1/8" larger than the final size of your die cut stickers, or supply a vector file with an additional dieline indicating the custom sticker backing shape. This should be no larger than 1/8" than the final sticker size.
Bleeds: if your artwork or background color extends to the sticker edge, you must bleed those graphics past the trim by 1/16" on all sides
Live Area: keep important text and artwork not meant to be trimmed 1/16" inside from the edges
