How to Prepare Data for Stickers
How to prepare submission data
● Create the cut line and print data on separate layers.
The cut line determines where the sticker will be cut. Both print data and cut line are required. Imposition will be handled by ACCEA, so you do not need to impose the data yourself.
● How to create cut lines
Save the cut line as a 'stroke' (not outlined).
| White border type |  Create the cut line at least 1mm outside the print data. |
| Bleed type |  Extend the print data at least 1mm beyond the cut line for bleed. |
| Continuous rectangle type |  Instead of creating multiple rectangles, create horizontal and vertical cut lines. |
About the finished product
Stickers will be delivered as grouped pieces.
If imposed, stickers will be delivered as multiple pieces arranged on a sheet as shown.
(* Layout arrangement will be handled by ACCEA.)
If you want each sticker delivered individually instead of by sheet, an additional fee of 44 yen (excluding tax) per sticker will be charged.
Notes for submitting white toner data
If using white toner, you need to provide a separate data file for the white layer in addition to the regular data.
- (1) The white layer must be created as an AI file.
White layer cannot be created from PSD, PNG, PDF, or other image data.
If you cannot prepare it, we can create it for you for an additional fee. Please consult the store. - (2) Use a separate layer named 'White Toner'.
- (3) Create using path data.
- (4) Outline the path data, fill it, and set the color to 100% black (K100).
If the color is mixed, you may be asked to resubmit the data.
- * White toner cannot be printed as an underlayer for color.
- * If the color and white layers overlap, we may process your data as described below.
(1) No white will be printed under the color, resulting in a semi-transparent finish.
(2) If the data is too complex, you may be asked to resubmit without the white layer. - * For printing white ink under color, please see the official ACCEA site: Transparent Film White Ink Printing.
