STICKER TEMPLATES (not the labels for going onto the records – but stickers for the outside of the shrinkwrap or polybag): There are too many size/shape configurations to provide templates for each one. So, we recommend just setting up your art to the size/shape you want the sticker to be, include 1/8″ bleed and safety margins, and then tell us the details of the size/shape when you submit the file. We strongly urge you to use VECTOR art for stickers – not pixel/rasterized art.
