Quick answer

Copy-ready answer

Use 3 x 3 in for a general logo sticker. At 300 DPI, trim artwork is 900 x 900 px and the 0.125 in bleed canvas is 975 x 975 px.

Formula

How to calculate this size

Pixel formulapixels = millimeters / 25.4 x PPI

76.2 mm x 300 PPI = 900 px wide.

Trim result900 x 900 px

Use this when the artwork stops at the finished edge.

Bleed result975 x 975 px

Add 3.18 mm per side before calculating pixels when artwork reaches the edge.

Common mistakes

Avoid these print setup mistakes

Designing only to trim

If artwork reaches the edge, add bleed before export so small cutting shifts do not leave a white border.

Putting live text near the edge

Keep names, prices, QR codes, and calls to action inside the safe area, not directly on the trim line.

Using one DPI for every job

Close-viewed print usually needs 300 DPI; large signs and banners can use lower effective PPI when viewed from farther away.

Sticker and label size depends on the object: small 1-2 in stickers work for packaging seals, 3 x 3 in works well for logos and giveaways, and larger 3-5 in labels give more room for ingredients, QR codes or product information.

For die-cut stickers, keep important artwork inside the safe area and leave enough room for the cut path. For labels applied to jars, boxes or mailers, measure the actual surface and test a paper mockup before ordering a large run.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a common sticker size?

A versatile logo sticker size is 3 x 3 in. Small seals often use 1-2 in, while packaging labels commonly use 3-5 in sizes.

What pixel size is a 3 x 3 sticker at 300 DPI?

A 3 x 3 in sticker is 900 x 900 px at 300 DPI. With 0.125 in bleed, use 975 x 975 px.

Do die-cut stickers need bleed?

Yes. Extend artwork beyond the cut line and keep important details inside the safe area so the die cut does not clip the design.

How do I choose a label size?

Measure the surface, account for curves or seams, and test a paper mockup before ordering. Choose the smallest size that keeps text readable.

What DPI should stickers use?

Use 300 DPI for most stickers and labels, especially when small text, barcodes or QR codes are included.
