Design tip: If you’re using your own artwork, make sure it’s high-resolution (300 DPI) for the best print quality.

Before you hit print, check out our tips for printer settings to ensure a smooth process. It’s always smart to print a test sheet on plain paper first to make sure everything lines up perfectly.
Once your stickers are printed, simply cut them out and get sticking.
Pro Tip: Use a craft knife or scissors with a steady hand for clean, precise edges.
