Step 3 – Design Your QR Code Stickers

Design Methods

Design from Scratch: Our user-friendly online designer empowers you to create your custom business stickers quickly and easily. Simply upload your QR code file directly from your computer and start designing. This method gives you full creative control over the layout and appearance of your print QR code stickers.
Alt Text: Upload EPS file to print QR code stickers
Upload a File: If you have a pre-designed file, you can upload it directly. For the highest quality print QR code stickers, we recommend uploading an .eps file. This ensures optimal resolution and clarity for your QR codes. After adding your product to the cart and choosing your shipping method, a proof will be emailed to you for approval before production begins. Once you approve the proof and complete the payment, your order will be processed.
Payment Information
To initiate production, all orders for print QR code stickers must be paid in advance. We accept various payment methods, including VISA, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover credit cards. For customers preferring to pay by check, please note that checks must be received and cleared before your business stickers enter the production phase.
Live Order Tracking System
AmazingPrint.net provides a Live Order Tracking system, allowing you to monitor the progress of your order every step of the way.

Die Cut vs. Kiss Cut QR Code Stickers
When choosing your print QR code stickers, you’ll encounter two primary cut options: die-cut and kiss-cut. The key difference lies in how the sticker and the backing paper are cut.
For a detailed explanation, please refer to our blog article: Die-cut vs Kiss-cut: A Simple Guide.
Die-Cut Sticker
Alt Text: Example of a die-cut QR code sticker with no background paper
Die-Cut Stickers: Die-cut stickers are cut through both the vinyl sticker material and the backing paper. This method results in stickers that are precisely cut to the shape of your design, without any extra material around the edges. Imagine using a cookie cutter – each sticker is individually cut out to the exact contour of your QR code design.
Please note: Back Slit (Crack and Peel) is available only on our Standard and Permanent material options.
Kiss-Cut Sticker

Kiss-Cut Stickers: Kiss-cut stickers are cut only through the vinyl layer (the sticker material) and not through the paper backing. This leaves a border of backing paper around your sticker design. Kiss-cut QR code stickers offer the advantage of easy peeling due to the extra material surrounding the sticker.
Artwork Specifications for QR Code Stickers
To ensure your print QR code stickers are produced with the best possible quality, please adhere to the following artwork specifications:
Preferred File Types for Printing
The maximum file size we accept is 100 MB. Our preferred file types are:
- Adobe Illustrator EPS (Encapsulated Post Script): Ideal for vector graphics.
- PDF (Adobe PDF): Preserves formatting and is widely compatible.
When submitting these file types, it’s crucial to convert all fonts to outlines or curves. This step prevents font substitution and ensures your text prints correctly.
Acceptable Additional File Types
We also accept these file types for your print QR code stickers:
- JPG (High Resolution JPEG)
- TIFF (High Resolution TIFF)
- PNG (High Resolution PNG)
File Preparation Tips
- Size Proportion: Set up your artwork at a size proportionate to the exact sticker size you are ordering.
- Convert Text to Outlines: Ensure all text is converted to outlines or curves.
- Bleed: Only include bleed if it is necessary for your design.
- Layer Management: Never flatten or merge layers in PSD files if submitting.
- Cut Line Indication: Clearly indicate the cut line for all decal products.
Vector vs. Raster Art
Understanding the difference between vector and raster art is important for achieving optimal print quality for your QR code stickers.
Vector Art: Vector art is composed of mathematically defined lines and curves. In key line mode, you can see the points (vectors) connecting these lines and curves. Vector graphics are perfect for text and drawn shapes because they can be scaled to any size without losing sharpness or detail. The distance between vectors is mathematically calculated, making it resolution-independent.
Raster Art: Raster images are made up of colored squares called pixels, like digital photographs. When zoomed in, individual pixels become visible. Raster images are resolution-dependent, limiting enlargement without quality loss. Printing a low-resolution raster file results in pixelation, where individual pixels become easily noticeable. Increasing resolution afterward won’t fully resolve pixelation as the program estimates pixel locations and colors, potentially making the image appear blurry.
If submitting raster files, please follow these resolution guidelines:
- 100% Scale (Full Size Output): 100 dpi
- 50% Scale: 200 dpi or higher
- 25% Scale: 300 dpi or higher
- 10% Scale: 600-1200 dpi recommended

If you do not have print-ready artwork, our skilled art department can recreate your artwork in vector format for printing your QR code stickers. The cost for this service depends on the complexity of your design. Artwork design service discounts may be available. Please contact our customer service representatives for more information.
