Custom stickers and labels — vinyl stickers, product labels, bumper stickers, decals, and packaging labels — have specific requirements around shape, transparency, and production output. This guide covers configuring Chamevo for sticker and label products.

What makes stickers and labels different

• Die-cut shapes: Stickers come in circles, rectangles, custom shapes, and contour cuts.
• Transparent backgrounds: Many stickers require transparent or no-background output.
• Small physical sizes: Stickers are typically small (2"–5"), so even low-resolution uploads produce acceptable results.
• Bleed requirements: Die-cut stickers need bleed margins for clean cutting.
• Batch/sheet production: Some workflows print multiple stickers per sheet.

Step 1: Create the product structure

1. Go to Chamevo → Products and create a new product.
2. Open the product in the Product Builder.
3. Create a single view.
4. Set the stage dimensions to match the sticker shape:
   • Rectangle: Match the aspect ratio (e.g., 3:2 for a 3"×2" label)
   • Circle: Use a 1:1 ratio (e.g., 600×600)
   • Custom shape: Use the bounding box dimensions

Shape-specific background

For non-rectangular stickers:

1. Add an image element showing the sticker shape (e.g., a circle outline, rounded rectangle, or custom die line).
2. Set it as not editable and not removable.
3. Set Exclude from Export if your output should not include the shape outline.
4. This helps customers understand the printable boundary.

For rectangular stickers, a simple canvas background may be sufficient.

Step 2: Define the print area

1. Configure the print area to match the actual sticker dimensions.
2. Set the output DPI:
