# Stickers & Buttons Design stickers and pin-back buttons from genre kits or classic shapes, and export print-ready PNGs at real sizes. Merch & Promo → Stickers & More designs stickers and pin-back buttons for your merch table, guitar cases and mail-outs. You pick a kit, put in your words and picture, and export a PNG at the real print size (300 PPI) to send to a sticker printer or a button maker. One drawing makes the preview and the file, so what you see is what prints. ## Pick a kit At the top, "Make a" switches between Sticker and Pin-back button. The chips filter the kits: All, one genre (Country, Rock, Folk, Hip Hop, Pop, EDM / DJ, Solo Acoustic, Jazz) or Classic. Each genre has two sticker kits and a button kit (24 in all), such as Rope Seal, Slap Tag, Rubber Stamp, Neon Ring, Guitar Pick or Record Label; Classic has the six simple shapes (Circle, Rounded square, Star burst, Hexagon, Shield, Diamond) with the classic color presets, and a plain button in each size. Your words and picture stay when you switch kit, shape or tab, and Reset asks before it clears anything. ## Make it yours - Text: Top Text, Main Text (large) and Bottom Text each have their own font picker (every font shown in its own style), color, letter case (ABC / Abc / abc), size, spacing and an effect: Outline, Hard shadow, Block, Soft shadow or Glow, with its color and strength. - Curved text: on round shapes, set a line to Arc to bend it around the circle (the top line along the top, the bottom line along the bottom). Joined-up script fonts stay straight, so their letters keep joining. - Picture: optional; a PNG logo keeps its see-through background. Put it behind the text or in front, size it, move it (or drag it on the preview) and rotate it. - Colors & finish: the kit's own color sets, the classic presets, your own Background, Text and accent colors, a Solid, Gradient, Transparent, Kraft paper or Holographic background, and a texture (Grain, Distressed worn ink, Halftone dots, Paper or Chalk). - Shape & size: switch shape without losing your words (Circle, Oval, Slap, Bumper, Label, Ribbon, Guitar pick, Ticket, Cut around text and more), pick a real size (for example 3 in, 4 × 2.75 in or 11.5 × 3 in), and set the die-cut border: the white (or any color) edge a die-cut sticker is cut around. ## Sizes, PPI and bleed Every export is a PNG at 300 PPI at the size you picked (a 3 in circle is 900 × 900 px), transparent outside the cut, and the file says 300 PPI so Preview and print shops read its size correctly. The caption under the preview gives the inches, the pixels and the PPI. "Show cut line" draws where the printer cuts (preview only). Tick "Add 1/16 in bleed" only if your printer asks for it; most die-cut sticker printers cut along the transparent edge and want the transparent PNG as it is. ## Pin-back buttons Buttons come in 1.25 in, 2.25 in and 3 in. The printed circle is bigger than the face, because the paper wraps round the back of the button: "Your button maker's cut size" starts at a typical cut for each face (for example 2.625 in for a 2.25 in button). Button makers differ, so check your maker's template and type its cut size if it is different. The preview shows the guides: the cut line (dashed), the face edge (solid) and the safe line (dotted); keep your words inside the safe line. The export leaves the guides out unless you tick "Include guides in the export". ## Ordering The links under "Order Stickers" open sticker printers and print-on-demand shops in your browser. They're separate companies, not part of MusicLaunch: check their prices and terms before you order. Upload the PNG as it is (it already has the right size and the transparent edge), pick the same size there, and order a proof or a small run first to check the colors. For buttons, send the PNG to your button maker or print it yourself and cut it with a circle cutter at the cut size. ## Related articles - [Merch & Promo](https://www.musiclaunchapp.com/help/merch-promo.md): Smart links, QR codes, flyers, banners, merch mockups, stickers and buttons — promo assets for your releases and shows. - [Flyer & Promo Graphic Generator](https://www.musiclaunchapp.com/help/flyer-generator.md): Create show flyers, posters, social graphics and name banners from classic templates and genre styles. --- - From the MusicLaunch Help Center (Sync, Budget & Merch).
