How It Works
From your screen
to the press.
Four steps, no surprises. And everything we know about getting a file print-ready, written down so you do not have to guess.
The four steps
- 01
Pick your size and quantity
Every combination has a live price. Change either and the total updates instantly — no quote form, no waiting for a reply before you know what it costs.
- 02
Drop in your artwork
We check it in your browser before anything uploads: resolution at your exact print size, transparency for the cut line, proportions, bleed. You see the problems while you can still fix them.
- 03
Check out securely
Apple Pay, Shop Pay, PayPal or any card, on Shopify’s secure checkout. We never see or store your card details.
- 04
We print and ship
A human looks at every file before it goes on the press. If something is off we email you rather than printing it wrong. Most orders ship in 2–4 business days.
Artwork Guide
What makes a file print-ready.
- Resolution
- 300 DPI at final print size is ideal. Below 150 DPI and it will look soft — our checker tells you the exact pixel size to export.
- Colour
- We print CMYK. Very bright RGB greens and blues shift slightly on paper — that is physics, not a mistake. Send CMYK if you have it.
- Bleed
- For colour that runs off the edge, extend your background 0.125″ past the trim on every side. Without it you may get a hairline white edge.
- Transparency
- Die cut stickers cut to the outline of your art, so the background must be transparent. Save as PNG, PDF or SVG — never JPG.
- Fonts
- Outline your text or send the font file with the job. Missing fonts get substituted, and substituted fonts print wrong.
- File types
- PDF, AI, SVG, PNG and JPG all work. Vector formats are best because they scale to any size with no quality loss.
Runs in your browser · nothing uploads from the checker
Most orders print and ship in 2–4 business days from the moment your artwork is approved. If you need it faster, tell us your deadline before you order and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
Our checker flags it the moment you drop the file, and tells you the exact pixel dimensions to export instead. If you order anyway with a file we think will print badly, a human will email you before we print rather than sending you something disappointing.
Yes. They are printed on vinyl and laminated, so they survive rain, dishwashers, water bottles and being on the outside of a laptop. They are rated for a few years outdoors in direct sun.
Sticker sheets are built for exactly that — as many designs as you like on one sheet. For separate die cut designs, add each one to the cart as its own line with its own artwork.
For standard orders we work from your file directly, which is why the preflight check matters. For large or unusual runs, ask for a physical proof before we print the whole job.
If we made the mistake, we reprint it free. Email info@blueprintdtla.com with a photo and your order number and we will sort it out.
Yes — odd sizes, special materials, big runs and rush jobs all go through the custom quote page. Send the file and what you have in mind.
