I need to print an image at a certain size. What dimensions and resolution should I use?

I'm quite a newbie to designing.
Do you think this image has a good enough resolution for printing a 50 x 50 mm sticker?

Keep in mind that the thin font might be difficult to read at small sizes, and that many stickers are meant to be read from a distance (think bumper stickers / laptop stickers). Others, like labels, might be fine smaller.

Also be aware that light grey grid will be difficult to maintain or may be lost. Anything less than a 5% screen of an ink can be "iffy" on press. It takes a quality print house to maintain screens under 5%. And an exceptional print house to maintain a 1% or 2% screen.

As an ex-pre-press operator, I'd have to ask why you don't just send the file through as a vector in a .pdf / .eps file?

@Aaron.. yes I'll be sending as a pdf. But used jpg here for easy reference. Thanks for all the tips guys.

Of course yes.
Your image is 50 x 50 cm! at 72 PPI
Converted to 300 PPI which is an optimal resolution, the final size is 12 x 12 cm
At 50 x 50 mm, the final resolution is more than 730 PPI
