How do we determine what part of the sticker has glitter?

We follow some general guidelines to determine which portions of your custom glitter stickers should have a glitter effect. These can always be modified during the proofing process. If you'd like specific aspects of your design to have the glitter effect, you can leave instructions when you upload your artwork or during proofing.
