No Background Stickers - Full Colour Printed & Laminated Vinyl

What artwork files do you accept?
A vector file is required for the cut line — accepted formats are AI, EPS, and SVG. If using Canva, export your file as an SVG. All fonts must be converted to outlines. Unlike transfer stickers, your artwork can include full colour printing, gradients, photos, and detailed imagery — the vector file is used to define the cut path around your design.

What is vector artwork?
Vector files are created using paths rather than pixels, meaning they can be scaled to any size without losing quality and can be read by our cutting machine to produce precise, clean cut lines around your design. The cut path must be supplied as a vector — however the printed artwork within it can include raster elements such as photos and gradients provided they are high resolution.

Do I need to supply cut lines?
No — we'll create the cut lines for you at no charge based on the outline of your design.

What if my file isn't cuttable?
If your uploaded file isn't suitable for cutting, we'll contact you directly. Adjusted files should be emailed back to us. If you're unable to adjust the file yourself, we can provide a custom quote to prepare a cut-ready file for you.

Will I see a proof before production?
A layout proof is available as an optional add-on. If selected, you'll receive a digital proof via email within 48 hours of placing your order. No order will proceed to production until the proof is approved via return email. Please check your junk mail folder if you haven't received it within this timeframe. Additional changes beyond the first proof will incur additional charges.

What is a layout proof?
A layout proof is a digital preview of your die-cut sticker showing the design, colours, and cut outline as it will be produced. It allows you to review and approve everything before production begins.

Are there any artwork disclaimer conditions I should be aware of?
Stickerman operates on the assumption that all artwork is supplied correctly and to the required specifications. By submitting your order, you release and indemnify Stickerman Australia Pty Ltd from any liability arising from non-compliance with the required artwork guidelines. We cannot be held responsible for work affected by failure to adhere to these requirements.

Are there minimum size requirements for full colour die-cut stickers?
Yes — due to the nature of the cutting process, there are minimum size and detail requirements that must be followed for a successful result.

All lines and strokes must be at least 4mm thick.

All lettering must be a minimum of 25mm in height. For all-caps bold sans-serif fonts only, a minimum of 15mm in height may be achievable — please email your file directly for a test cut and custom quote before ordering.

For lettering smaller than 25mm in complex or decorative fonts, please contact us before ordering as additional charges may apply.

Why are there minimum size requirements?
Full colour die-cut stickers are cut with a tiny blade and the unwanted background vinyl is manually removed before application tape is applied. The smaller or thinner an element is, the less adhesive there is to bond with the surface. Very thin lines can curl over time and small text may be susceptible to lifting with cleaning or handling. Minimum size requirements are in place to ensure your sticker performs as expected once applied.

My design has fine detail — will it work as a die-cut sticker?
Highly detailed designs with thin lines, intricate elements, or small text may not be suitable for this product. If you're unsure whether your design meets the requirements, please email your file to us before ordering and we can advise whether it's suitable or suggest adjustments.

What material are full colour die-cut stickers made from?
Full colour die-cut stickers are printed on premium 5-year outdoor-rated vinyl with a UV overlaminate layer. The overlaminate provides superior protection against sun damage, fading, scratches, and general wear, making these stickers well suited to vehicles, outdoor signage, equipment, and anywhere long-term durability is important.

What does the application tape do?
Application tape holds all the elements of your die-cut sticker together in their correct positions during installation, allowing you to apply the entire design to your surface as one cohesive piece. Once applied and pressed down firmly, the tape is peeled away leaving just your design on the surface.

Will the colours fade over time?
All stickers will fade over time with prolonged UV exposure. These stickers are printed with UV stable inks and protected by a UV overlaminate layer, giving them significantly better colour longevity than unlaminated printed stickers. The 5-year outdoor rating means they are built for long-term use in demanding environments.

What surfaces can full colour die-cut stickers adhere to?
These stickers adhere best to smooth, clean, flat surfaces including painted metal, fibreglass, glass, and hard plastics. They are not suitable for textured, ribbed, or rough surfaces, or any surface that curves in two directions simultaneously. For vehicles with ceramic or Raptor coating applied, stickers will not adhere reliably.

Are full colour die-cut stickers removable?
These stickers feature high-tack permanent adhesive designed for long-lasting outdoor application. While they can be removed, the vinyl will not be reusable. They are not designed for repositioning once applied.

How is this product different from a regular full colour print and cut sticker?
Both products are full colour printed and cut to shape, but this product uses premium 5-year outdoor vinyl with a UV overlaminate layer and air-release adhesive for superior durability, easier installation, and longer outdoor life. It is also supplied with application tape as the cut removes the background entirely, whereas standard print and cut stickers may retain a small border around the design.
