Question

How do I use a size chart to order the right sticker?

Answer

A sticker sizes chart keeps you from over-ordering the wrong dimensions. Use it alongside a quick measurement of the real surface.

  • Measure the surface where the sticker will go, such as a jar lid, laptop lid, or bottle, before choosing a size.
  • Compare to real objects so the number feels concrete before you commit.
  • Leave at least 0.25 inches of margin on all sides so the design is not crowded.
  • Match complexity to size: simple logos for 1 to 2 inch stickers, detailed artwork for 4 inches and up.
  • Check both inches and millimeters to avoid conversion errors.
  • Set the file to 300 DPI at final print size, with bleed and a safe zone, so edges stay crisp and nothing important gets trimmed.
  • Order one test size when in doubt before running a large batch.
