Why was the physical size of my sticker changed?

When you upload your own graphic and order a sticker from us, if you haven't specified the exact size of your sticker, a default size (typically 4" x 4") will be applied to your order. If your sticker is not intended to be exactly 4" x 4", this size will likely be incorrect and will need to be adjusted.

This adjustment can happen in one of two ways:

Adjusting the graphic

If we adjust the graphic to fit the listed size, the result might not be what you envisioned. This issue becomes more pronounced the greater the difference between the intended size and the default size. For example, if your design is meant to be 2" high by 4" wide, but the size listed on the order is 4" x 4", the graphic would be stretched to fit, making it look distorted:

After resizing to 4" x 4", it may look like this:

As you can see, the stretched graphic distorts the artwork, which is the main drawback of this approach.

Adjusting the size

The other option is to adjust the size listed on the order to match the intended size of your design. This approach ensures that your graphic won't be stretched or compressed in any way, preserving the integrity of your design. However, changing the size of an order can also affect the price. Sometimes this works to your advantage, resulting in a lower cost and a refund, but other times the new size might increase the cost. In either case, our team will reach out to inform you of any price changes on your order, ensuring that you're fully aware and can approve the adjustments.
