Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Stickers
This FAQ answers the most common questions customers ask before ordering custom stickers from Sticker Swan. If you don’t see your question here, our team is always happy to help.
Materials & Quality
What material are Sticker Swan stickers made from?
All Sticker Swan stickers are produced on commercial-grade vinyl, not paper. Vinyl is waterproof, flexible, and designed for long-term use.
Are your stickers waterproof?
Yes. All vinyl stickers are fully waterproof and suitable for indoor and outdoor use.
Are your stickers weatherproof and UV-resistant?
Yes. Every sticker is finished with a protective laminate that resists UV exposure, fading, and scratching.
Do you offer clear stickers?
Yes. We offer clear vinyl stickers, including support for white ink so artwork remains vibrant on transparent material.
Do you offer matte or gloss finishes?
Yes. You can choose between matte or gloss laminate depending on the look and feel you prefer.
Printing & Color
How accurate are your colors?
Sticker Swan uses expanded color gamut solvent printing with additional color channels (orange, red, green, light cyan, and light magenta). This allows for more accurate brand colors, smoother gradients, and richer tones than standard CMYK printing.
Can you print white ink?
Yes. White ink is available and commonly used for clear stickers or designs printed on dark materials.
Will my reorders match my previous order?

Are revisions included?
Minor revisions are typically included. Large artwork changes may require a new proof.
What file types do you accept?
We accept PNG, PDF, SVG, AI, and EPS files. High-resolution artwork produces the best results.
