Customer uploads a JPG. Your operator needs vector with a separate cut path, 3mm bleed, CMYK colour mode, outlined text. We deliver that file, file after file, on a $399/month subscription. White-label by default — your customer never sees our name.
Founder, Digital Polo · Working with sticker shops since 2010
The work that piles up on every sticker-shop designer's desk — handed off to us, back in 48 hours.
Customer JPG to clean vector AI / EPS / print-ready PDF in 24–48 hours. Pantone callouts. Outlined text. Ready for your plotter or press the moment we ship it.
Cut path on a separate layer named the way your operator names it. 3mm bleed. Inter-sticker gaps respect your matrix-stripping spec. Registration marks where required.
Kiss-cut sheets, slit-cut sheets, multi-SKU rolls. Stickers arranged efficiently on substrate stock with all the cut paths consolidated and named.
The formats your customers ask for. The specs your operators need.
Individual die-cut stickers with bleed, cut path on named layer, CMYK and outlined text — print-ready for any digital or screen-print workflow.
Multi-sticker sheets that keep the backing intact for individual peel. Inter-sticker gap respected, cut paths consolidated, registration where needed.
Designed for matrix stripping. Inter-sticker gaps and bleed precisely tuned for your stripping operation.
Roll-fed sticker artwork with repeat patterns, registration, and cutter compatibility for high-volume production.
Holographic foil masks, glitter masks, glow-in-the-dark overlays — each on its own layer so your press can isolate the special pass.
Bottle, jar, pouch, tin labels. Dieline-aware. Print-ready PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-4. Spot colours called out by Pantone.
The differences your operators feel the moment the first file lands.
Forward your shop's file-spec sheet once. Every job after that ships matching it — no back-and-forth at the press.
Customer never sees Digital Polo on any file. Reseller rights included on the $399 plan. NDA on request, same day.
Brand colour callouts on every file. Spot colours separated. Specialty inks called out by their Pantone reference.
Pause or cancel anytime. Reseller rights and source files included on both.
Most shops start here. 15–40 jobs/mo.
High-volume sticker shops. Dedicated team. 24-hour SLA.
Straight answers — no marketing-speak.
Vector files in Adobe Illustrator (AI), EPS, and print-ready PDF. CMYK colour mode (RGB on request for screen-only outputs). 3mm bleed and 3mm safe zone by default. Text outlined to paths so font availability is never a problem at the cutter or press. Cut paths live on a separate layer named 'CutContour' or per your shop's operator convention. We ship the working file with named layers so any operator can re-export.
Yes — all three. Die-cut paths follow the artwork contour with a configurable offset. Kiss-cut sheets keep the backing intact so the customer peels individual stickers. Slit-cut sheets are designed for matrix stripping with the inter-sticker gaps respected. Tell us once which convention your plotter uses and every file ships matching it.
Yes. This is one of the most common jobs we ship for sticker shops. Customer arrives with a 200×200 JPG, a phone screenshot, or a sketch. We redraw it from scratch as a clean vector — AI + EPS + PDF + PNG — inside 24–48 hours, with all the print-ready specs baked in. Pantone colour callouts where the customer specifies a brand colour.
Yes. For specialty substrates we deliver layered files with a separate 'special finish' layer (holographic foil mask, glitter mask, glow varnish) so your press operator can isolate the special pass. Pantone references on metallic and fluorescent colours where applicable. Tell us your specialty inventory once and we'll account for it on every job.
Yes — white-label and reseller usage is included from the $399 Partner plan up. Files ship unbranded. No watermarks. No mention of Digital Polo. NDA on request, same-day signing. Customer never knows there's a third-party design team behind your shop's artwork pipeline.
A junior in-house designer for sticker file-prep costs roughly $50,000–$70,000 a year loaded. Our Partner plan is $4,788 a year ($399/month). The math closes itself unless your shop ships more than 20–25 custom-design jobs per business day, at which point a dedicated in-house plus our Soulmate plan ($899/month) gives you the best parallel throughput.
Multi-sticker kiss-cut sheets are a routine job. We arrange stickers on a sheet with inter-sticker gaps respecting your matrix-stripping requirements, registration marks where your operator needs them, and cut paths on a single named layer covering the whole sheet. Bleed values per your sheet stock.
No. Month-to-month. Pause or cancel anytime. 7-day money-back guarantee on the first month. Most sticker shops start on Partner ($399) and move to Soulmate ($899) once monthly custom-design volume passes ~25 jobs.
$399/month flat. 48-hour SLA. Vector AI / EPS / PDF with cut paths, bleed, CMYK. Pause anytime.
