Step-by-Step Guide to Crafting Your Metallic Stickers:
- Upload Your Design: Begin by uploading a high-resolution design in CMYK color mode to our editor. This ensures the colors in your metallic stickers are vibrant and precise.
- Specify the Metallic Effect: If you have specific areas where you want the metallic effect, use a layer file to indicate these sections. Alternatively, a layer mask can be used for the same purpose.
- Communicate Your Needs: Leave a comment for our team in the editor, instructing us to pay attention to the layers in your file that signify where the metallic effect should be applied.
- Don’t Have a Layer File? No problem! Simply tell us in the comments which parts of your design you'd like to be metallic. We’ll reach out if we need more details to fulfill your vision.

What materials are used for metallic stickers?
Our metallic stickers come in two premium materials:
- Brushed Aluminum: This gives a textured, matte finish with subtle shine.
- Mirror Vinyl: This offers a glossy, reflective surface, like a polished mirror.
Both materials not only give your stickers a metal-like appearance but are also paired with a UV laminate for outdoor use, ensuring they’re resistant to weather and wear.
Can I use metallic stickers outdoors?
Absolutely! Our metallic stickers are laminated with UV protection, making them durable against the elements. They stick firmly yet can be removed without leaving residue, preserving the surface underneath.
How do I select the right CMYK values for a metallic effect?
For the best metallic effect, we recommend the following CMYK configurations:
- Gold Metallic: C: 0, M: 20, Y: 100, K: 0
- Rose Gold: C: 0, M: 40, Y: 60, K: 0
- Silver Metallic: C: 0, M: 0, Y: 0, K:40
- Bronze Metallic: C: 0, M: 50, Y: 100, K: 30
These values are designed to emulate metallic hues and should be used when preparing your design for upload.
