Step 1: choosing material
Metallic stickers can be ordered by printing on one of these two materials: mirror or brushed aluminum. You choose whether you want the effect on your entire sticker or selected parts.
Here's how it works:
-
The two base materials are silver gray by default: the mirror material with a smooth surface and brushed aluminum with a “raw” brushed surface.
-
Using CMYK colors, you can easily turn the silver gray into whichever metallic you like: gold, bronze, rose gold, steel, and oxidized steel.
-
Brushed aluminum is available with glossy laminate, and mirror with both glossy and matte finishes if you prefer a luxurious, smooth finish.
Remember: The CMYK values and printing process for the two materials remain the same; what matters is the look and finish you want for your stickers.
