Everything a print shop needs, on one page. Every measurement below is read out of the
supplied files themselves, not typed in by hand.
PRINT THIS RUN: 75 stickers. 60 circles — 4 designs × 15 each ·
71.12 × 71.12 mm · die-cut · matte vinyl. 15 rectangles — 3 designs × 5 each ·
116.59 × 165.1 mm · matte vinyl, removable.
Files: carried-q1-wave.png · carried-q2-wave.png · carried-q3-wave.png · carried-d1-wave.png Everything further down the page is a second run and is not ready — see the hold note.
File specification — please check these before quoting
Each PNG carries its own resolution, so it should open at the size in the "prints at" column —
not at roughly four times that.
The numbers above are read directly out of the files, not asserted — if your software reports
anything different, please tell us before printing rather than rescaling.
Cut to a 71.12 mm circle.
The carried set — the swell
EL NIDO over a single low swell. Chosen from five marks compared at true print size. Each design prints a different web address, shown under it — that is deliberate, and it is the only way we learn which question moves someone, so the designs are not interchangeable and one must never be swapped for another to fill a shortfall.
Every address on this page was read back off the finished artwork
and checked against the live site's routing table before the files were released. The question is set
slightly smaller on the longer ones — that is measured per design, so no address can end up under
artwork or off the edge of the disc.
Material & finish
Material
Vinyl. Outdoor/weatherproof grade — these live on water bottles, laptops and backpacks.
Finish
Matte. Not gloss. The artwork is near-black; a gloss laminate throws reflections straight across the type and kills legibility.
Colour
Full colour, CMYK. There are saturated pinks and cyans against near-black, and a fine gold line on the islands — please proof rather than assume.
Adhesive
Removable for the carried set — people are choosing to put these on their own things.
Size & shape
Die-cut circle, 71.12 mm (2.8 in).
Artwork is 840 × 840 px at 300 DPI — the resolution is written into
each file, so it should place at that size with no scaling. Place at 100%; do not resample.
Two questions for the shop
Bleed. Artwork is supplied at exact final size with no bleed margin. If your die-cut process needs bleed, tell us how much and we'll re-export — we'd rather add it than have registration drift show a white sliver at the trim edge.
Minimum run per design. 15 of each circle and 5 of each rectangle is what we want, not what we assume is possible. These are small numbers on purpose — it is a first run to find out which designs and which rooms work. If your minimum per design is higher, say so before quoting rather than rounding us up.
Do not alter
Don't crop, rescale or recolour. Artwork is generated at 300 DPI at final size and is print-ready as supplied.
Don't retype any text. Every line is verbatim from the app, and the web address under each one is unique to that design. A retyped character makes the sticker point nowhere.
Keep the outer rim. The thin light edge on the circles is deliberate — it's what stops a near-black sticker disappearing on a black laptop lid. It is not a crop mark.
The wall cards — 3 designs × 5
Same job, different object: 116.59 × 165.1 mm (6.5 × 4.6 in) rectangles for
the walls of cafés, hostels and studios, going up with the owner's permission.
Three designs, one per kind of room — they are not interchangeable, because each carries its own
scan code and swapping one for another to fill a shortfall destroys the only thing the run measures.
5 of each.
Size & shape
116.59 × 165.1 mm rectangle, corners rounded ~4 mm.
1377 × 1950 px at 300 DPI.
Adhesive — different from the circles, and it matters
Removable, wall-safe. These go on somebody else's wall by agreement. A permanent vinyl this
size lifts paint when it comes off, and a damaged wall costs the relationship that got us the wall —
worth more than the sticker. If your removable stock still risks fresh or chalk/emulsion paint, say so
and we will supply these as a poster with a repositionable backing instead.
Surface — ask before you promise a finish
"Creative space" often means exposed brick, cork, raw plaster or a gallery rail, not painted
drywall. Removable vinyl needs a smooth surface to hold at all. If the space is textured we would rather
supply a rigid-backed panel than have one curl off a brick wall in a fortnight.
Finish
Matte. These hang under spotlights and near windows; gloss throws a highlight
straight across the type from exactly the angle people read from.
Where it goes on the wall — this is not decoration advice, it is what the design depends on.
Hung at roughly standing eye level (~150 cm to the centre) with a clear sightline of
several metres — not above a door, not behind furniture. A piece hung where nobody can stand back
from it is doing one job instead of three.

Not this run — the table set
Same state as the wall pieces above.
Every design now carries its own scan code by venue type (?v=t-cafe …
t-bar), so the placeholder problem is gone — a run would tell you which kind of room
works. Per-individual-venue codes are still a further step, and the coffee-shop and boat
designs still need daylight-safe artwork. A QR can't be changed once it's on a table, so decide
the granularity before ink.
