Die-cut or kiss-cut stickers: which one do I need?

A die-cut sticker is cut through the backing to the shape of the art. A kiss-cut sticker is cut through the vinyl only and stays on a square backing. The artwork file is the same for both; you choose the cut when you order.

Step by step

  1. A dog as a die-cut sticker
    01Decide how the sticker is handed over.

    Loose singles for handouts and packaging suit die-cut. Sheets and easy peeling suit kiss-cut.

  2. A round coffee roaster logo as a die-cut sticker
    02Make one file.

    A shape with a border works for either cut. Upload the art and download the PNG.

  3. 03Pick the cut on the order form.

    The shop cuts the same artwork either way.

When die-cut fits

The sticker itself is the shape, so it looks finished in a hand or on a parcel. Thin points can bend in a pocket.

When kiss-cut fits

The square backing protects thin parts and peels easily. It also leaves room for a name or a code on the backing.

Make the artwork once and use it for either cut.
