Introducing Our Free Sticker Template Generator

Setting up a sticker or label design file with the correct bleed, trim and safe zone can be one of the most frustrating parts of the print process — especially if you’re not a professional designer. Get it wrong and you end up with white edges, cropped text or artwork that doesn’t quite fit.

That’s why we’ve built a free Sticker Template Generator that does the setup for you in seconds.

What Does It Do?

Head to our Sticker & Label Template Generator, choose your shape, enter your dimensions and download a print-ready template file — complete with:

3mm bleed extending beyond the cut line
Trim line showing exactly where the sticker will be cut
2mm safe zone so your text and logos are never at risk of being clipped

Templates are available in SVG, PDF and EPS formats, so whether you work in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, Affinity Designer or Inkscape, you’re covered.

Why We Built It

Over the years, we’ve seen thousands of artwork files come through our print queue. One of the most common issues — and the biggest cause of delays — is artwork that’s been set up without proper bleed or safe zones. Designers spend time going back and forth fixing files, and customers have to wait longer for their stickers.

We wanted to remove that friction entirely. With the template generator, anyone can create a correctly sized file in a few clicks and start designing straight away, knowing the technical setup is already taken care of.

Shapes and Sizes

The generator supports four shapes:

Circle — perfect for logo stickers, envelope seals and jar lids
Square — ideal for QR codes, social media stickers and product branding
Rectangle — the go-to for bottle labels, address labels and packaging
Oval — a classic choice for artisan products, candles and cosmetics

You can enter any custom dimensions and, for rectangles and squares, add a corner radius to create rounded edges.

How to Use It

Select your sticker shape
Enter your width and height (or diameter for circles)
Adjust the corner radius if you want rounded corners
Check the preview to see your bleed, trim and safe zone guides
Download your template in SVG, PDF or EPS
Open the file in your design application and start creating

The template layers are clearly separated, so you can lock the guides and design on top of them with confidence.

What Happens Next?

Once your artwork is finished, you can upload it directly through our sticker designer when you place your order. We print on premium waterproof vinyl in glossy, matt, clear and metallic finishes — with no minimum order and fast UK delivery.

Sticker Nation

Sticker Nation has been printing custom labels and stickers in the UK since 2007. What began as a bedroom operation — running off small batches of address labels in the evenings after a day's work — has grown into a dedicated label printing company trusted by more than 60,000 clients.

Along the way, we've printed for brands that have gone on to launch in Waitrose and for founders who have gone on to become Dragons on Dragons' Den. We've watched first-time makers grow into established names, and in the process we've learned exactly what separates a label that sells a product from one that doesn't.

In 2016 we built our own online designer tool — a direct response to the frustrations of traditional label artwork: bleed margins, colour mismatches, and endless file corrections. That platform, refined year after year, still powers every order today. Customers design in minutes, preview their work in 3D, and submit a print-ready PDF that drops straight onto our press — no back-and-forth, no artwork chasing, no surprises.

Everything we publish in our Knowledge Base comes from nearly two decades of hands-on production experience. If you read something here, we've done it ourselves — probably hundreds of times.
