Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can request a digital proof during checkout by selecting the option to approve your design before we print it. Our team will prepare a PDF proof and email it to you so you can review your sticker before it moves into production. This gives you a chance to make sure everything looks just right. Please keep in mind that requesting a proof may add extra time to your order, and we won’t begin production until you give us the green light.

If the dimensions of your design don’t match what you ordered, we’ll resize the sticker to fit your design without stretching or distorting it. For example, if you order a 10"x10" sticker but upload a design that’s 10"x5", we’ll make your sticker 10"x5" and refund the difference. We always preserve the original proportions of your artwork.

Transfer stickers are made by cutting out your design from a solid-colored vinyl sheet—there’s no printing involved. The background is removed, leaving only the text or graphic in your chosen shape. If you want a sticker with more than one color but still no background, check out our Multi-Color Transfer Stickers.

Each transfer sticker has three parts: the paper backing, the vinyl design itself, and a layer of clear transfer tape on top. The transfer tape holds your design together so you can apply it exactly where you want in one easy step.

Applying a Transfer Sticker

To apply your transfer sticker, peel off the white paper backing to expose the adhesive. Position your sticker using the clear transfer tape and press it onto your surface. If you see air bubbles, gently smooth them out from the center to the edges. For more help, visit our Application Instructions Page or watch the video below.

Transfer tape is a clear plastic film that helps you apply cut-out stickers more easily and accurately. It holds all parts of your design in place, so you can position your sticker exactly where you want it without shifting any pieces. Because it’s transparent, you can see the surface underneath while you apply—whether it’s a window, wall, or laptop.

We use a high-quality, clear transfer tape that works especially well with designs made of separate elements like letters or shapes. Since the tape is non-porous, it’s important to apply your sticker to a clean, dry surface for best results.

Here’s how we make transfer stickers:

Step 1

You start by uploading a design or creating one in our sticker maker, then selecting the size and vinyl color for your transfer sticker.

Step 2

Our design team prepares your file, making sure it’s ready to be cut accurately from your chosen vinyl color.

Step 3

We use a precision plotter to cut your design from a solid sheet of vinyl, matching the exact shape you created.

Step 4

Next, we weed the vinyl by removing all the small extra pieces from inside and around your design to leave just what you want applied.

Step 5

Finally, we apply the clear transfer tape on top of your sticker, making it easy for you to peel and place it just right. Your sticker is then trimmed and ready to go.
