What Is a Sticker Sheet?
A sticker sheet is a single sheet containing multiple kiss-cut stickers arranged within one printed surface. It allows several designs, shapes, or sizes to be produced on one unified sheet. Sticker sheets are commonly used when multiple stickers need to be delivered together in a compact and organized format.
Technical Definition & Use Cases
A sticker sheet consists of one printed sheet with multiple individual stickers applied to a backing liner. Each sticker is kiss-cut, meaning the top layer is cut while the backing remains intact. This format is used when multiple designs should be delivered as a single unit.
Technical Definition
A sticker sheet is defined by the following characteristics:
-
Multiple stickers on one sheet: Several individual sticker shapes are arranged within a single sheet format.
-
Kiss-cut production: Each sticker has its own cutline, defining its peelable shape.
-
Unified backing: All stickers are produced on one shared liner instead of being printed as separate pieces.
-
Material consistency: All stickers on the sheet share the same material, finish, and adhesive.
Available sizes for sticker sheets
Custom dimensions. Sheets can be produced in a variety of sizes depending on the material:
-
10.8”/27 cm on one side, and however long the roll is, for our special materials.
-
31”/80 cm on one side, and however long the roll is, for glow in the dark.
-
47”/120 cm on one side, and however long the roll is, for our regular white vinyl.
Components of a Sticker Sheet
A standard sticker sheet includes:
1. Printed Artwork Layer
All sticker designs appear on a single printed surface.
2. Individual Cutlines
Each sticker requires:
-
A closed vector cutline
-
0.075"/2 mm spacing between stickers
-
0.075"/2 mm bleed beyond each cutline
3. Backing Liner
All stickers remain attached to one common backing sheet until peeled.
Production Requirements
When preparing a sticker sheet for production, the following technical requirements apply:
-
Minimum sticker size: 0.23"/6 mm
-
Minimum spacing between stickers: 0.075"/2 mm
-
Minimum spacing to sheet edge: 0.075"/2 mm
-
Bleed: 0.075"/2 mm around each sticker
-
File resolution: 300 DPI
-
Supported formats: PDF, PNG, JPEG, SVG, TIF, AI, and PSD
-
Cutline stroke: 1 pt, solid color
These standards ensure predictable cutting results and prevent unintended overlap between designs.
When Sticker Sheets Are Commonly Used
Sticker sheets are typically chosen when:
-
Multiple small or related stickers need to be distributed together
-
A customer wants several designs in a compact format
-
Stickers must remain grouped for packaging or storage purposes
-
Design sets require a unified presentation
These scenarios rely on the sheet format for organization and efficient use of material.
Advantages of Sticker Sheets (Technical Perspective)
Sticker sheets offer:
-
Efficient material use: Multiple stickers printed on one surface minimize waste.
-
Simplified handling: Easier storage, packaging, and shipping compared to separate pieces.
-
Consistent material and finish: All stickers share the same specifications.
-
Controlled cut accuracy: Cutlines are optimized when grouped on a single sheet.
Summary
A sticker sheet is a single printed sheet containing multiple kiss-cut stickers arranged within defined spacing, bleed, and cutline requirements. It provides a technical and efficient way to deliver several stickers in a unified format, ensuring consistent quality and organized presentation.
