Sticker Size Options

Die-cut stickers are sized according to the largest side of your design—either height or width. Please select the size that best fits your artwork:

• Mini: 1 inch (Approx. 2.5 cm)
• Small: 2 inches (Approx. 5 cm)
• Medium: 3 inches (Approx. 7.5 cm) – most popular!
• Large: 4 inches (Approx. 10 cm)

Need a custom size? Let us know the exact dimensions in your order notes. For example, if your design is 2" x 3", choose the 3" option and add a note requesting your sticker to be sized to the 3" dimension.

Artwork Quality Requirements

To produce clean, sharp, professional stickers, your artwork must meet these specifications:

• Resolution: Minimum 1500 pixels on the longest side
• DPI: 300 DPI for high-definition printing
• Background: Transparent background required
• File Types: PNG preferred (separate files are accepted for non-transparent uploads)

Blurry, pixelated, or low-resolution images may be rejected to maintain the quality standard we promise.

Cutting & Outlines

To ensure precise die-cutting, include a visible outline around your design:

• Recommended Offset: 0.08" to 1.6" (inches)
• If no outline is provided, we will apply a standard white border automatically.

Want Borderless Stickers?

To achieve a seamless, no-border look:

• Add a bleed area around your design and request that we cut inside it.
• OR share the HEX code of your sticker border colour, and we’ll apply a matching bleed for a clean finish.

Colour Reproduction

We print using a Canon CMYK 6-tank dye-based ink system with added red and grey cartridges for more vibrant and accurate prints.
Design Tip: Use a CMYK colour profile when creating your artwork to ensure your printed stickers look as close as possible to what you see on screen.

Finish Options

Choose from three distinct finishes based on your style and needs:

• Matte Laminate: Smooth, non-glare coating. Great for soft, pastel designs and a premium feel. Water and scratch resistant.
• Gloss Laminate: High-shine finish that enhances vibrant colours and dark details. Durable and water resistant.
• Sensory Laminate: Lightly textured surface designed to support users with sensory sensitivities or anxiety. Adds soothing tactile stimulation.

Ordering & Quantities

• Upload up to 4 unique designs per package
• Order between 1 and 500 stickers per design
• Bulk discounts automatically apply as quantities increase

Note: For orders over 500 stickers of the same design, we recommend exploring larger-scale manufacturers to save on cost.

International Duties & Taxes

United States 🇺🇸

Shipping to the U.S. is straightforward, thanks to a high de minimis threshold.

Orders under $800 USD:

These typically clear customs without duties or taxes.

Orders over $800 USD:

Duties may apply based on U.S. Customs regulations. Some states also impose sales tax, which is collected directly by the delivery carrier (e.g., USPS). We recommend checking local tax regulations for more details.

European Union (EU) 🇪🇺

When shipping from Canada to EU countries, orders may be subject to VAT, import duties, and local handling fees.

Orders under €150:

We collect VAT at checkout through the EU Import One Stop Shop (IOSS), which helps streamline customs clearance. While this minimizes delays, some couriers may still charge small processing or brokerage fees.

Orders over €150:

VAT and customs duties will be handled by your country’s customs or postal service upon arrival. If you’d like to prepay these fees for a smoother experience, please contact us before placing your order to arrange DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipping.

CPTPP Countries 🇬🇧

UK, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Peru, Chile, Brunei, Malaysia, Mexico, Vietnam

As a Canadian business, we benefit from the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), meaning many of our products (such as stickers and bookmarks) qualify for 0% tariffs when shipping to these partner countries.

Important to Note:

Local VAT, GST, or other consumption taxes may still apply (often around 20%).

Your local customs authority may also charge processing or handling fees.

Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) Countries 🇦🇪 

Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE

Orders shipped to GCC countries are subject to import duties and local taxes:

A standard 5% customs duty applies to most goods.

VAT, usually around 5%, may also be charged depending on the destination country.

These charges are determined by your local customs authority and are not included in our checkout prices.

Other International Destinations 🌍

For all other countries outside the EU, USA, GCC, or CPTPP regions:

Import duties, VAT, and handling fees are determined by your country’s customs authority and are the buyer’s responsibility.

We recommend reviewing your country’s import guidelines before placing an order.

Unpaid duties or taxes may result in the package being returned. If this happens, reshipping costs will be the customer’s responsibility, and original shipping fees are non-refundable.

PLEASE NOTE: By ordering from The Pink Pooch, you agree to take full responsibility for any import duties, taxes, or customs fees required by your country’s customs regulations. We recommend checking with your local customs office or tax authority for specific details.

Care & Use

Storage Guidelines:

Keep items in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. High humidity can lead to warping, fading, or material deterioration. To avoid damage, store flat, especially for stickers, laminates, and bookmarks. Keep magnets at a safe distance from electronic devices, credit cards, and medical implants like pacemakers. Always store products out of reach of children and pets.

Safety Precautions:

• Not suitable for children under 3 years due to small parts that may pose a choking risk.
• Magnets can disrupt electronic devices and medical equipment.
• Exercise caution with laminated products to avoid cuts from sharp edges.
• Vinyl and plastic components are flammable—keep away from open flames and high heat.
• These products are intended for decorative or practical use only; do not ingest or misuse.

Disposal Recommendations:

Dispose of products responsibly following local waste and recycling guidelines. Where possible, recycle vinyl stickers, laminates, and plastic bookmarks—note that these materials are non-biodegradable. Do not burn vinyl or plastics, as harmful fumes may be released. Magnets should be separated from other materials and disposed of properly.
