Sticker postcards are printed with a raised UV ink, which results in a textured feel. Learn more: Raised UV Printing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are there any specifications I should follow on my print-ready file?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes. For postcards with custom sticker shapes, here’s what you should know:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Create a kiss cut line around where your stickers will be. The vector line should be on it\u2019s layer named \u201cCut\u201d (if you use our print template, this layer will already be set up). The line should have a 0.25 pt. stroke and should be a specific spot color:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
