The Stretcher bar profile is 38mm so 45mm bleed will comfortably wrap around the bar. Thes rest of the space will be left blank.

Vinyl Stickers

WHITE GLOSS / MAT White back

This is the standard for most product labels and stickers that is used

WHITE GLOSS / MAT Grey back

Select this vinyl if you are going over something dark or another image. Whatever is behind will not show through.

Gloss Clear

Standard gloss clear vinyl. Not optically clear.

AIR FLOW

Vinyls with this feature have air egress channels in the glue. Which allows the air to escape while laying the vinyl and prevent air bubbles from forming.

Cut Paths

To setup the cut path in Adobe Illustrator create the finished shape you want (1pt stroke) then in the color tab press the menu tab in the top right and scroll to "Create New Swatch..."

Name the swatch "CutContour" with capital C's and no spaces as shown below and set to a Spot Colour. We use 100% Magenta as the value for our cut paths.

cut path setup

Bleed

2mm bleed all around is preferred for vinyl stickers. E.g..  a 50mm circle, the artwork should be 54mm all the way around and the cut path is 50mm round and centered in the artwork.

Note

Do NOT  OUTLINE the stroke for the cutpath. It will cut the inside and the outside of the cut path and leave a very fine string of excess vinyl around the stickers.

Supplying artwork for White Ink

When supplying artwork for white ink printing please lay whatever you want printed in white on a seperate layer and call the layer "WHITE". Please change all of the colours to 100% yellow.

Supplying artwork for Spot Clear Gloss or Mat

Same as above except the layer can be called "CLEAR" and the colours changed to 100% cyan.
