All stickers must have a cut path included in their design file. The cut path can be created in the same image editing software you use to design your artwork, such as Adobe Illustrator.
Why Cut Paths Are Important
Once the stickers are printed on high-quality vinyl, we place the roll on a cutting plotter. The plotter uses the cut path information to precisely cut around your sticker. Everything inside the cut path will be included in your final sticker, while anything outside the path will be removed when the excess vinyl is peeled away.
Custom Sticker Sheets and Cost Savings
At Carstickers.com, our graphic designers will add cut paths to your files while prepping orders. However, if you’re ordering Custom Sticker Sheets, you can save on setup fees by adding the cut paths yourself before submitting your artwork.
