What Happens Next
📋 After you submit
Your sticker artwork will be reviewed and sized for printing. We'll confirm your final dimensions and cut type before production begins.
Cut Type Guide
✂️
Die Cut
Cut exactly to your shape + printed border around the edge. Great for bold, detailed artwork where the outline becomes part of the design.
⭕
Kiss Cut
Cut exactly to your shape with no border. The backing sheet stays whole, making it easy to peel. Clean, modern look — design goes edge-to-edge.

⚠ Color Visibility Note
Some color combinations can be hard to read — especially light text on light backgrounds, or very saturated colors next to each other. Make sure your text and background have strong contrast. When in doubt, dark on light or light on dark always works best.

Extra Goodies
Got something extra you want to slip in alongside your card? List up to 4 flat items to include in the vending machine sleeve — fortunes, doodles, notes, tiny prints, sticker scraps, or anything you dream up. You're not limited to the ideas below — get creative! Just make sure items are flat, fit in the cardboard sleeve, and won't jam the machine.
⚠ Important — Please Read Before Submitting
After the final card count is determined, submitters will be contacted with the exact quantity needed for their extra goodies. You are responsible for physically providing these materials. Failure to provide them by the deadline means extra goodies will not be included — only your trading card, sticker, or business card (which are internally archived through Create + Connect) will go into the machine.
