What is the difference between Die Cut and Kiss Cut stickers?

Die-cut stickers are cut through both the vinyl and the backing, matching the exact shape of your design, while kiss-cut stickers are only cut through the sticker layer, leaving a backing for easier handling.


Understanding Die-Cut vs. Kiss-Cut Stickers

Die-cut stickers are precision cut through both the vinyl and the backing paper, perfectly matching the shape of your design. This method, allows for highly customized shapes and sizes, making them ideal for a variety of uses.

Kiss-cut stickers, on the other hand, are only cut through the sticker layer, leaving the backing intact. This makes them easier to peel and allows for additional design elements around the sticker. Kiss-cut stickers can be delivered on sheets or with a margin for easier handling.

Both types offer unique benefits depending on your needs. Die-cut stickers provide a clean, custom look, while kiss-cut stickers offer convenience and flexibility in handling and application.
