For school-age children using them as stickers, they're ordinary stickers, printed with inks that are UL GREENGUARD Gold certified for low chemical emissions. Stickers aren't toys and aren't certified as toys, and small stickers are a choking hazard, so keep them away from children under 3.
Yes, two things: artwork that belongs to someone else, unless you have their permission, and hateful or illegal content. Adult and profane designs are fine. Not sure about yours? Ask us before you order. If we can't print an order, we offer to print it with different artwork, or a refund.
Your proof usually arrives by email within 1 business day of your order. If it hasn't, check your spam and promotions folders and the email address on your order confirmation, then contact us with your order number. Do it soon: on most sticker products, we may print what the proof shows if we haven't heard back 36 hours after sending it.
Our stickers and labels are made to go on the outside of packaging (a jar, a bottle, a bag, or a box), where the package keeps them away from the food. We don't rate them for sticking straight onto food, like fruit, cheese, or baked goods.
Because the proof shows the sticker we will make, not the file you sent: the cut line and border are added, a background or drawn-in border may be taken off, white ink is placed on clear and specialty films, and the size is measured on the cut. Here is each change, and how to ask for it differently.
Yes, mostly. Laminated vinyl stickers take sun, rain, and handling well, so helmets, guitar cases, coolers, toolboxes, and boat decks are good homes for them. Any sticker wears out fast where it scrapes against something, like the underside of a skateboard.
Order as many as you'll hand out, ship, or apply before you'd want to change the design. Then check the calculator at two or three quantities, because the price per sticker drops steeply as quantity grows.
For most stickers you don't need one, because the calculator on each product page shows the price as you choose a size and quantity. For anything it doesn't cover, contact us with the details and we'll send a quote as a link you can open and pay from.
