How to Prepare Artwork for Sticker Printing
Prepare PDF, JPG/JPEG, PNG, or WebP sticker artwork and check transparency, the cut contour, safe area, and preview before confirming.
Short answer: Prepare your sticker artwork as a PDF, JPG/JPEG, PNG, or WebP file. For a contour-cut design, prefer a transparent PNG; compare the outer cut edge with the preview guide and keep text and important details inside the safe area. Check whether any visible pixels in transparent areas affect the cut contour, then confirm the preview.
Which file formats can I use for sticker printing?
MorfUno accepts PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and WebP files for sticker orders. If the product guidance shown in your order recommends a particular choice, follow that guidance.
Should sticker artwork be PNG or PDF?
Both formats are supported. A transparent-background PNG is the best option for contour-cut designs. Check that pixels which should not be part of the artwork are actually transparent, because visible pixels can affect the cut contour.
How do I check the cut contour and safe area?
Compare the outer cut edge with the preview guide shown for the order. Keep text, logos, and important details inside the safe area. If the preview shows an unexpected outer edge, correct the artwork and upload it again before confirming.
Quick checklist before sending the file
- Check that the file is PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, or WebP.
- Use a transparent-background PNG when the contour-cut design needs it.
- Make sure no unwanted visible pixels remain in transparent areas.
- Keep text and important details inside the safe area.
- Compare the outer cut edge with the preview guide.
- Confirm only when the preview looks correct.
Does confirming the preview mean the file is print-ready?
No. Confirmation sends the file to the private production-preparation queue. MorfUno shows a file as ready only after the private production process finishes successfully.
If you sell stickers online
Create the order in MorfUno and share its product-appropriate artwork upload link with your customer. The customer can upload the file, review the guided preview, and confirm without creating a customer account. Go to the business account sign-in.
