Sticksy

How do bleed and safe zones work?

Bleed is the area of your artwork that extends beyond where the sticker will be cut. It's there as a safety margin — since cutting isn't 100% pixel-perfect, the bleed ensures there are no white edges if the cut shifts slightly. We recommend extending your background artwork at least 1/16" past the cut line.

Safe zone is the area inside the cut line where important elements (text, logos, key details) should stay. Keep anything you don't want trimmed at least 1/8" away from the cut edge.

When we send your proof, we'll show you the cut line, bleed area, and safe zone so you can confirm everything looks right before printing.
