Questions,
Answered.
Everything customers ask us about ordering, artwork, materials, and shipping — answered straight, no runaround.
001 / ORDERING & TURNAROUND
Ordering.
How fast will I get my stickers?
Standard turnaround is 3–5 business days from artwork approval to your doorstep. Everything prints and ships from our facility in St. Petersburg, Florida — no overseas middlemen, no mystery delays.
What is the minimum order?
Twenty-five stickers. Whether you need 25 or 10,000, the material, print quality, and cut precision are identical — volume just improves your per-unit price.
Can I order multiple designs in one order?
Yes. Each design is its own line item with its own size and quantity. Add as many as you like to a single cart.
How does pricing work?
Pricing scales with total printed area and quantity — bigger runs, better per-unit rates. Every product page shows live pricing as you enter dimensions and quantity. No quote forms, no waiting.
Do you offer proofs?
Every uploaded file is reviewed by a real person before production. If anything looks off — low resolution, missing bleed, thin cut lines — we contact you before printing, not after.
002 / ARTWORK & FILES
Artwork.
What file types do you accept?
PNG, JPG, PDF, and AI. Vector files (PDF/AI) are ideal for logos and text. PNGs with transparent backgrounds are perfect for contour-cut stickers. Full details in the Printing Guide.
What resolution does my file need?
300 DPI at the final print size. A 3″ sticker needs roughly 900×900 pixels. If your art looks crisp zoomed to 200% on screen, it will print clean.
I don’t have a designer. Can you help?
Send us what you have — a sketch, an old logo, a photo — via custom orders and we will tell you exactly what we need to make it print-ready.
How do contour-cut shapes work?
Upload a PNG with a transparent background and we generate a cut path that follows your artwork automatically. You can also supply your own cut line as a spot color in a vector file.
003 / MATERIALS & DURABILITY
Materials.
What are your stickers made of?
Carrco custom-print orders use BOPP face film. The face film is waterproof; finished performance depends on the adhesive, print and finish system, surface, application and exposure. Ready-made catalog items can use different materials, which are stated on their product pages. Full spec sheet here.
Are they really dishwasher safe?
No universal dishwasher claim applies to every construction. Hand washing is recommended unless Carrco confirms the exact material, adhesive, print and finish system for repeated dishwasher use.
How long do they last outdoors?
Outdoor life depends on the exact construction, surface, installation, sun, water and abrasion. Ask Carrco to confirm the construction for demanding exterior or marine use.
Matte or gloss — which should I pick?
Gloss makes color pop and looks wet-shiny. Matte kills glare and feels premium in hand. Durability can vary with the exact print and finish construction, so choose the look you prefer and confirm demanding exposure with Carrco. When in doubt: gloss for vivid art, matte for minimalist designs.
Will they damage my car paint or laptop?
Adhesive removal depends on the surface, finish, time and conditions. Test an inconspicuous area first; warm gently, peel slowly at an angle and follow the surface manufacturer's cleaning guidance. Full walkthrough in Tips & Tricks.
004 / SHIPPING & SUPPORT
Shipping.
Where do you ship?
Anywhere in the US, with international options at checkout. Every order ships from St. Petersburg, Florida.
How is shipping calculated?
Real carrier rates calculated at checkout based on weight and destination — you see the exact cost before you pay.
