What artwork files do you accept? Vector files (AI, EPS, PDF) are best for the sharpest results. High-resolution PNG or JPG files also work well, provided they're clear and at least 300 DPI at the final print size. What is vector artwork? Vector files are created using paths rather than pixels, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality. This gives you sharper prints and cleaner cut lines compared to raster images like JPG or PNG. Can you fix or set up my artwork? Yes — we can resize, tidy files, add bleed, or create cut lines. For simple adjustments, there's no charge. We'll let you know upfront if more extensive artwork preparation requires a fee. Do I need to supply cut lines? A: No. If needed, we'll create cut lines for you at no charge. Will I see a proof before printing? You can choose whether you'd like to receive a proof when placing your order. If you select this option and artwork changes or adjustments are required, you'll receive a digital proof for approval before we proceed to printing. What is a proof? A proof is a digital preview of exactly how your sticker will look when printed. It shows the final design, colors, sizing, and cut lines, allowing you to review and approve everything before production begins. This ensures the finished product matches your expectations. When will I receive my proof? Your proof will be emailed to you within 24-48 hours of placing your order. Please keep an eye on your inbox and check your junk mail folder in case it's filtered there. If you haven't received your proof within this timeframe, please contact us directly. No work will move into production until the proof is approved via return email. What if my logo or image isn't high enough quality? We'll assess your file and let you know if the quality is suitable for printing. If your artwork is too low resolution, we'll advise you and may be able to help recreate or source a better quality version for a small fee.

Materials & Finishing

What surfaces can these stickers adhere to? Our circle stickers adhere well to most smooth, clean surfaces including glass, metal, plastic, wood, and painted surfaces. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or oils before application. Are these stickers removable? While our stickers feature strong permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting application, they can be removed. However, depending on the surface and how long they've been applied, some adhesive residue may remain. They're not designed for repositioning once applied. Will the colors fade over time? All stickers will fade over time depending on UV exposure. Our stickers are printed with genuine Roland eco-sol inks that are UV stable and fade-resistant. The 2-year vinyl has a life expectancy of approximately 2 years and will fade faster as the ink is not protected by lamination. The laminated 5-year vinyl offers significantly greater color protection due to its UV-overlaminate layer, making it the best choice if long-term color vibrancy is essential for your application. Can these stickers withstand exposure to oils and chemicals? Yes, our stickers are oil-resistant, and the laminated 5-year vinyl provides enhanced protection against cleaning chemicals and essential oils. If your stickers will be regularly exposed to harsh chemicals, we strongly recommend choosing the laminated option. What's the minimum or maximum size I can order? The minimum order size for circle stickers is 60x60mm. If you need stickers smaller than this, please use our 'Sheet Stickers' product or if you need them to be smaller and cut as singles contact us for a custom quote. How do I care for items with these stickers on them? Our stickers are dishwasher safe and can handle regular cleaning. For hand-washing, simply clean as you normally would. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers directly on the sticker surface to maintain the best appearance over time.

Make sure your little ripper stands out in the lineup — our custom nipper board stickers are the perfect way to personalise your child's board with their name. Whether it's for easy identification at the beach or just because every nipper deserves a board that's their own, these stickers deliver a clean, professional result that holds up in the surf.

Simply choose your font and vinyl colour, enter the name, and we'll cut it from premium marine-grade pre-coloured vinyl — no background, no border, just crisp individual lettering that sits directly on the board for a custom-painted look.

Each sticker is cut from marine-grade vinyl rated for 5+ years of outdoor use and is fully waterproof, UV stable, and built to handle saltwater, sand, and sun. Pre-coloured vinyl is the highest rated vinyl for withstanding excessive UV exposure, heat, and harsh conditions — exactly what a nipper board faces every weekend.

Every order arrives with application tape for easy, accurate installation, along with detailed application instructions.

Please note that if your board has a foam surface, adhesion can vary and we're unable to guarantee performance on these surfaces. For best results, we recommend a smooth fibreglass or hard plastic surface.

FAQs

Design & Ordering

How do I design my nipper board sticker?
Use our free built-in Sticker Designer on the product page. Click "Design Online" to open the designer in a new tab, enter the name you'd like on your sticker, and choose your preferred font and vinyl colour. When you're happy with your design, click "Finish & Continue" to add your sticker to the product page where you can see a preview of your design before ordering.

How do I order after designing my sticker?
Once your design is added to the product page, you'll see a preview of exactly what you'll receive. Select your quantity and add to cart.

Will my sticker look exactly like the preview?
Yes. When you add your sticker to the cart, your design is automatically run through our production converter tool which creates a print-ready file — no manual setup is required on our end. What you see in the designer and on the product page is exactly what you'll receive.

Can I upload my own artwork or logo?
Nipper board stickers are a text-only product — customers use the online designer to enter a name and select a font and vinyl colour. If you need something more custom, please contact us and we'll discuss your options.

Can I order stickers for multiple boards or names?
Of course! Simply place a separate order for each name, or contact us for bulk or team orders.

What type of sticker is this?
Nipper board stickers are supplied as custom cut vinyl lettering (also called transfer vinyl). This means there is no background — just clean, individual letters applied directly to the board for a professional, custom-painted look.

Materials & Durability

What material are the stickers made from?
Nipper board stickers are cut from premium marine-grade, pre-coloured vinyl rated for 5+ years of outdoor use. Pre-coloured vinyl is the highest rated vinyl for withstanding excessive UV exposure, heat, and saltwater — exactly what a nipper board faces every weekend.

Are nipper board stickers waterproof?
Yes. Our marine-grade vinyl is designed for long-term outdoor use, including saltwater environments.

How long will they last?
Standard marine vinyl lasts up to 5–7 years outdoors. Actual lifespan can vary depending on UV exposure, the board surface colour (dark surfaces absorb more heat), and storage conditions.

What surfaces can nipper board stickers adhere to?
Our stickers adhere best to smooth, hard surfaces such as fibreglass and epoxy boards. Adhesion on foam (soft-top) boards can vary depending on the surface texture, so we recommend testing a small area first.

Are nipper board stickers removable?
Nipper board stickers feature permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting application. While they can be removed, depending on the surface and how long they've been applied, some adhesive residue may remain and the vinyl will not be reusable.

It's worth noting that over time, UV exposure can cause the board surface around your stickers to fade, while the area beneath the sticker remains protected. This can result in a "shadowing" effect — where the outline of the sticker becomes visible once removed. To minimise this, we recommend removing stickers after 3 years, polishing the surrounding surface, and re-applying fresh stickers.

How do I apply nipper board stickers?
Your sticker arrives with transfer paper (application tape) applied over the design, holding all letters in position. Clean and dry your surface thoroughly, position the sticker with the transfer paper still attached, apply pressure to adhere it, then carefully peel away the transfer paper to reveal the name. Detailed application instructions are included with your order.

Production Times & Shipping

Who do you use for shipping?
