What sticker types are there, and how do I choose gloss or matte?

O-SEAN makes two sticker types, removable die-cut stickers and holographic stickers, from 100 pieces with a 1-week lead time, and both sticker types come in gloss or matte. Gloss suits vivid color, and matte suits a calm look without glare.

The removable die-cut sticker uses removable Yupo material, so the sticker is easy to apply and remove on flat surfaces but may lift on curved surfaces.

How should I prepare files for stickers cut to the shape of the artwork?

For stickers cut along the outline of the artwork, send a PNG file with a transparent background or a file with the cut line drawn. A JPG with a background fills the removed area with white, and the sticker may be cut as a rectangle.

The cut line position can be checked on the mockup, so leave a little space between the artwork and the cut line.

What should I watch out for when printing on holographic stickers?

When printing on holographic stickers, use large lettering in dark colors, and check on the mockup whether parts that must stand out need a white base print. Light colors on the hologram let the background show through and are hard to see, while areas with a white base lose the holographic effect.

Decide at the mockup stage which areas keep the holographic effect and which areas need clear color.

Can you make photo cards, postcards or lenticular cards?

Yes, O-SEAN makes photo cards and postcards, and the minimum quantity and paper are given at the quote stage. Lenticular cards are made from 50 pieces with a 2-week lead time and include full-color printing on the back with rounded corners and coating.

If recipients will write on the postcards by hand, the postcards need paper that takes writing well, so mention it when requesting a quote.

Do you make posters?

Yes, O-SEAN makes A3 posters, and quantity, paper and packing method are given at the quote stage. Posters crease easily in transit, so for exhibition or event use, mention that the posters must arrive without creases when requesting a quote.

If a poster arrives creased or damaged, report the damage with photos within 5 business days.

Do you make shopping bags or packaging boxes?

Yes, O-SEAN makes paper shopping bags from 1,000 pieces in 4 weeks and folding carton packages from 100 pieces in 2 weeks. The folding carton package can use New Eco Black 300 g paper with inside and outside gold foil finishing.

Designs with full-bleed color can show cracks in the print along the folds, so check the fold line positions at the mockup stage.
