Your guide to Die Cut Stickers

Die-cut is a method that cuts through the sticker material and backing paper. This means die-cut or contour-cut stickers can be precisely cut to the shape of your design. Die-cut can of course be traditionally square, circular or rectangular. Still, you also have the option to have the cutline follow the contours of your artwork, adding the possibility to make them more visually appealing and attention-grabbing.

Contour-cut stickers can offer several advantages; their possibility of unique shapes has the potential to create a polished and professional appearance, elevating the overall aesthetic of your design. The high level of flexibility, as they can be cut into any shape, adds versatility which enables you to create stickers that perfectly align with your creative vision.

Die-cut stands in contrast to kiss-cut stickers, a technique that involves only cutting through the sticker/vinyl layer and not through the backing paper. Kiss-cut stickers are perfect for creating peel-off stickers, and it’s often used for sticker sheets with multiple designs on a single backing paper.

The key benefit of die-cut stickers is the ability to customize their size and shape. Whether you prefer a small sticker for subtle branding or a large sticker for maximum impact, the choice is yours. Size options range from 1 x 1 inch (2 x 2 cm) to a whopping 47 x 47 inches (120 x 120 cm). Shape options are virtually limitless; square, round, oval, or the intricate contours that follow the outline of your design. The choice is yours!
