Why won't my design work as a printed transfer sticker?

There are a few reasons why your artwork design may not be suitable for printed transfer stickers.

- It doesn't meet our size requirements. The solid parts of your design should be at least 2 mm. These are the portions that will adhere to a surface after applying the transfer sticker. If you have areas that are smaller than 2 mm you can try thickening or enlarging them to meet this requirement.

- It doesn't meet our spacing requirements. The white space, or the portions that will be removed from your design should be at least 2.3 mm. If you have spaces that are smaller than 2.3 mm, you can try enlarging the space of your design elements.

- The design is too intricate. While transfer stickers allow for a great level of detail and complexity, designs that are very intricate may not be suitable for the printing and weeding process. If your design contains intricate details, you may need to simplify it or increase the size of your transfer stickers.

- The artwork resolution is too low. For optimal print quality the resolution of your artwork should be at least 300 PPI at the size you'd like your stickers printed. If the resolution is lower than 300 PPI, it runs the risk of printing blurry or pixelated.
