The lifespan of a sticker depends on the material and where it's placed. Vinyl stickers with adhesive can last up to 5 years, while cling stickers typically last up to 6 months. Specialty materials like glow-in-the-dark vinyl are not meant for long-term outdoor use but can last indoors for up to 5 years. Perforated film, designed for one-way visibility, will last up to 3 years.

The best way to set up a transfer sticker file is to use vector files. Vector files ensure the design remains sharp and clear, regardless of the size.

The smallest text letter size we can cut for a transfer sticker is a quarter of an inch (0.25"). Text smaller than this may not cut or weed properly and might lack enough adhesive to stick effectively. If your design includes elements smaller than 0.25", we will contact you to help adjust the design for optimal results.

It is not uncommon for the transfer tape to separate slightly from the sticker backing in a few places during shipping. This is normal and easy to fix. Simply pull the transfer tape away from the backing about halfway across the sticker. Then replace it slowly, smoothing the area with the flat part of your hand from the middle of the sticker out to the edge. Then repeat this process on the remaining side. For a demonstration, please watch the video below.

Transfer stickers require manual removal of material from enclosed spaces, such as in letters like "O" and "P". While the cutting machine precisely cuts the material, it does not remove these sections. A Car Stickers employee will then use specialized tweezers to carefully pick out and remove the material by hand.

Applying your stickers is easy! We provide detailed instructions on our Application Instructions page, and a set of these instructions will be included with each sticker order.

To ensure we create the best possible transfer sticker for you, please follow these guidelines:

• Each line of text must be at least 0.25 inches tall.
• Transfer stickers should be measured by the overall width multiplied by the overall height. Learn more about measuring transfer stickers.
• Strokes, line weights, and art elements should be at least 0.0625 inches thick.
• An additional charge may apply if your uploaded artwork has more than 20 picks. Learn more about counting picks.
• If you would like a proof before your sticker goes into production, you may request one in the special instructions box.

We also offer printable application instructions for transfer stickers.

A transfer sticker is created by cutting sticker material to a shape, graphic, or text, and then removing the background. Transfer stickers are not printed on but instead are cut from a colored sheet of vinyl. If you would like a sticker with multiple colors but no background, you should order a Multi-Color Transfer Sticker.

All of our Transfer Stickers come with three elements. The first is the backing of the vinyl sheet, which is the paper layer that the vinyl is originally cut from. The second layer is the sticker itself, cut by our plotters to your exact design. Finally, we add a top layer of transfer tape to allow you to place the sticker exactly where you want on your material.

Applying a Transfer Sticker

When you get your transfer sticker in the mail, just lift the sticker and peel the white paper backing off of the adhesive. Then, while holding the clear transfer tape, line your transfer sticker with the material underneath and place it on the surface. If you have any air bubbles in the sticker, gently rub from the middle to the edges until the sticker lies flat. For more, see the Application Instructions Page or watch the video below:

At Carstickers.com, we measure and price all our stickers based on square inches. To calculate the square inches of a sticker, simply multiply the width by the height. For example, a sticker that is 4�W x 4�H (4 inches wide and 4 inches high) and a sticker that is 2�W x 8�H (2 inches wide and 8 inches high) will cost the same because both are 16 square inches.

These measurements are based on the widest and tallest areas of the sticker's shape, measured from left to right and top to bottom in a straight line.

Please note: The measurements are taken when the design is upright and in the same position as it will be applied. This ensures that the sticker you order will fit in the intended space. For example, while a diamond-shaped sticker could theoretically be rotated 45 degrees and measured as a square, a 3�x3� diamond and a 3�x3� square rotated 45 degrees are not the same size and will not fit in the same space.

Transfer tape, also known as application tape, is a clear plastic film used to make applying stickers easier. It allows the installer to see exactly where they are placing the sticker on the substrate, which is the material or surface the sticker is being applied to, such as a window, car door, or plastic sign.

At Carstickers.com, we use high-quality clear plastic transfer tape for our transfer stickers. This clear tape is perfect for cut-out stickers with multiple parts, as it maintains the positions of all the letters and artwork in your design, ensuring precise placement.

Our clear transfer tape is made from non-porous plastic, which is why it's important to apply the stickers on a clean and dry surface. The transparency of the tape allows for easy placement, as the surface beneath, such as a car windshield or laptop, remains visible during application.

Here's a step-by-step process of how we produce transfer stickers:

Step 1

After selecting one of our premium graphics, uploading your own design, or creating something new using our custom sticker maker, you'll choose the color and size of your transfer sticker.

Step 2

Our Graphic Design team then prepares the design for processing, ensuring it will look great when printed and cut.

Step 3

Our skilled processing team runs a sheet of your selected vinyl color through a plotter, a machine that cuts the vinyl to match your design's shape.

Step 4

Once the graphic is cut, our team carefully weeds the excess vinyl using specialized tools. Weeding involves removing the small pieces of vinyl from the spaces between letters or intricate designs, called picks. For more information on picks, visit our Counting Picks on a Transfer Stage page.

Step 5

After weeding, we apply our high-quality clear plastic transfer tape over the graphic, sandwiching the sticker between the vinyl backing and the transfer tape. The sticker is then cut to the specified dimensions and is ready for application.
