About this course

Labels and stickers are deceptively hard: a 2-inch jar label has to survive a steamy fridge, scan at checkout, satisfy regulatory copy rules, and still look premium at arm's length. This course teaches the real mechanics of small-format print design — building a dieline, setting bleed and safe zones, choosing substrate and adhesive, separating color for digital versus flexo printing, and laying out a die-cut sticker on a cut contour. You finish with a complete label artwork file and a die-cut sticker file, both exported to spec and ready to send to a printer.
