Yes. Sticker Swan custom vinyl stickers are printed on waterproof vinyl and protected with a gloss or matte laminate. They resist water, scratches, sunlight, and normal outdoor exposure, making them suitable for water bottles, laptops, vehicles, packaging, and equipment. Apply them to a clean, dry, smooth surface for the strongest adhesion.

A high-resolution PNG with a transparent background works best for custom stickers. For the sharpest printing, submit artwork at approximately 300 DPI at the final printed size. Sticker Swan also accepts JPG, PDF, SVG, AI, and EPS files. Avoid screenshots, compressed images, and small web graphics whenever possible.

A sticker proof is a digital preview showing the expected size, shape, artwork placement, and cut line before printing. Sticker Swan’s Sticker Maker generates a free, instant online proof, allowing you to review and adjust your design without waiting for an email. Screen colors may differ slightly from the finished print because displays and printed materials reproduce color differently.

Die-cut stickers are cut through both the vinyl and backing paper to follow the outside shape of your design. Kiss-cut stickers are cut through the vinyl layer while leaving the surrounding backing paper intact, making them easier to peel and protecting the sticker during handling. If you prefer a kiss-cut format, include that request in the order notes inside the Sticker Maker app.

Sticker Swan custom vinyl stickers are designed for multi-year indoor and outdoor use. Premium vinyl and a protective gloss or matte laminate help resist fading, water, scratching, and weather exposure. Actual lifespan depends on the application surface, preparation, sunlight, climate, cleaning, and handling. For the strongest adhesion, apply the sticker to a clean, dry, smooth surface.

Yes. Small-quantity orders start at 10 stickers for select products, sizes, and materials. They are ideal for testing a design, creating samples, or launching a small project. Larger quantities receive automatic volume pricing in the Sticker Maker, reducing the cost per sticker.

Apply stickers to a clean, dry, smooth surface. Remove dust, oil, wax, and moisture, then allow the surface to dry completely. Peel back a small portion of the liner, position the sticker, and press it down gradually with a squeegee or a card wrapped in a soft cloth. Work from the center outward to push out trapped air.

For large decals, use a wet-application method only when the selected material is compatible. Do not use Windex or household cleaners during installation because their chemicals may reduce adhesion. After application, allow the adhesive time to bond before washing or exposing the sticker to heavy moisture.
