how to create Sticker cut lines

The cut line on your artwork does what it says on the tin; it tells the printers exactly what shape you would like your stickers to be cut to.

Cut lines can be made to any shape, as our software and printers can handle even the most complex designs. If you want to create your own cut lines we have detailed how to make sticker cut lines in illustrator below.
