Rectangle stickers

Do you have a design template for stickers?
No, unfortunately there are no recycled labels available for commercial printing in Australia. Envirocare labels were discontinued in Australia a number of years ago as they were substantially more expensive than alternative labels. We bought the very last supply of this stock which has now run out. The next best thing which we now buy is paper labels made from well managed forest pulp.

Do you have clear stickers?
No, clear adhesive labels are made from synthetic materials, we only use paper based products that are recyclable.

Can you print stickers on a roll?
No, we do not have the equipment to print adhesive labels on rolls. Our circle stickers are pre-cut on A4 sheets and overprinted. This is the most affordable way to go rather than kiss cutting each order. Our square and rectangle stickers are printed together on large sheets and cut to size. These large sheets have slits in the backing sheet every 50mm to allow for easy peeling.

How should I supply artwork?
For square and rectangle stickers, please supply as a press ready PDF with a minimum of 3mm bleed and crop lines. For circle stickers please design them as though they are square stickers, ie make any areas of bleed extend past the crop lines as a square, do not crop the bleed to a circle. We advise adding a circle line layer when designing to see how your artwork looks in a circle, but then delete or hide this layer prior to creating your press ready PDF with bleed and crop lines. Download our artwork specifications from www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf to see how you need to prepare and output files ready to print.  Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!

What size stickers do you do?

Can I do different sizes in one order?
Unfortunately not no. Prices are only given for one size. You can do multiple designs of the same size, however if your adhesive labels are different dimensions then these need to be processes as separate orders.

Can you print custom shape stickers?
No, we do not have the equipment to cut custom shape adhesive labels. We only provide rectangle, square or pre-cut circles.

Are your stickers waterproof?
No, waterproof / freezer grade adhesive labels are made from synthetic materials, we only use paper based products that are recyclable. The closest we can do in this instance are gloss paper labels which are a little more durable than matt labels.

Do you do removable stickers?
We really don't recommend printing borders on adhesive labels. We have a shift tolerance of 1mm for adhesive labels. This means prints can shift in any direction during printing and trimming by up to 1mm. When borders are printed this means some adhesive labels will look asymmetrical.

Can I have a sample print of my stickers before going ahead with the full order?
We do not supply printed samples by default, we print directly from your PDF files. If you would like a price for printing a test sample print only, scroll to the very bottom of our quantity dropdown in our quote builder and select 'sample print'™. The cost of a sample print is basically all time for setup and finishing, plus postage. Unfortunately it takes us as long to setup and trim one item as it does a whole pile.

Can I have a proof?
We do not supply proofs unless artwork amends are required prior to printing, or you request one. We print directly from you press ready PDF files. For full details of how to prepare and output files ready to print from Canva, Layout, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator or Photoshop please download our artwork specifications from www.printtogether.com.au/pdf/Art-Specs.pdf  Or you can use our free design templates which will automatically be prepared correctly for print - no stress for you!


What if I have more than 10 sticker designs?
You can add additional designs by adding more split quantities. Just click '+ Add another split quantity' in our quote builder. You can add as many different kinds as required.

I have printed stickers with you before, do you keep artwork on file?
Yes we keep all press ready artwork on file. If you have placed an order in the last 5 years you should be able to login to your account with an old quote or reference number and your email address and download any artwork from previous orders. If your artwork isn't in your online account, let us know and we will take a look in our archive for you.

Do you do foil printed stickers?
No, we do not offer foiling for a couple of reasons.
1. Foil makes it harder to recycled paper as the foil needs to be separated from the paper pulp.
2. To get the best results with foil you need to foil stamp. This involves having metal formes made and using these to stamp foil on to paper. This adds a lot of cost to small runs of adhesive labels. Over the years digital foil has grown in popularity with printers as it is a cheap and fast alternative to foil stamping. In our opinion that is all it it is, cheap and fast, it really doesn't look anywhere near as good a foil stamping. Our goal is to make printing on recycled paper affordable, we therefore have decided not to offer foiling.

Do you print stickers with Pantone colours?
No we do not print adhesive labels using Pantone colours. All of our adhesive labels are printed CMYK together on large sheets of paper and then trimmed to size. In order to print using Pantone colours, we need to print just your adhesive labels on their own and set the press up with Pantone ink. This takes a lot of time in setup and therefore costs substantially more than printing collectively with others CMYK.

I have a PDF of an old stickers but I want to change the details on it, can you do this or do I have to go back to my designer?
In most cases it will be quicker and cheaper to go back to your designer if possible. Changing text in the master design file is very quick an easy for a designer to do. If for some reason your designer can't do this, we may be able to edit your PDF. This all depends how the artwork has been setup and saved. If the text hasn't been converted to outlines and we have the font used on file yes we can make changes. If the font has been flattened or we don't have the font used then we will need to replace the font with something similar in order to make changes. The cost of us making these changes is dependent on what needs to be done. We estimate layout costs after reviewing your files and requirements. For more details please contact us.
