Die-Cut Stickers vs. Kiss-Cut Stickers

Die-cut means that we are cutting through the sticker and paper backing, whereas kiss-cut means we are only cutting through the adhesive sticker part.

For more in-depth information about the cut options, please visit our Die-cut vs. Kiss-cut guide.

Die-Cut Bear Sticker | Stickers.com

Die-Cut

Die-cut means that we are cutting through both the vinyl sticker material and the paper backing. This cut type doesn't leave any material around the sticker. Another way to look at it is to think of it like a "cookie cutter." Your stickers are all individually cut out to the contour of your design, so you have individually cut stickers with no paper material around the design.

* Please note – Back Slit (Crack and Peel) is only available on our standard vinyl material option *

Kiss-Cut Bear Sticker | Stickers.com

Kiss-Cut

Kiss-cut means we are only cutting through the vinyl layer ("sticker material") and not cutting through the paper backing, leaving a paper material border around your sticker. When you choose a kiss-cut sticker, you will have extra material around your sticker for easy peeling.

Custom Sticker Artwork Specification

Preferred Files for Printing

The maximum file size we accept is 100 MB. Our preferred file types are:

  • Adobe Illustrator EPS (Encapsulated Post Script)
  • PDF (Adobe PDF)

When submitting these files, make sure you convert all fonts to outlines or curves to ensure they print correctly and the fonts are not substituted. 

Additional Files Accepted

  • JPG (High Resolution JPEG)
  • TIFF (High Resolution TIFF)
  • PNG (High Resolution PNG)

File Tips

  • Set up size proportionate to the exact size product you are ordering 
  • Convert all text to outlines 
  • Only Allow for bleed if necessary
  • Never flatten/merge layers in a PSD file
  • Indicate the cut line clearly for all decal products

Vector Art

Vector art consists of lines and curves that are mathematically defined objects. When viewing art in key line mode you can see the points or vectors when connecting your lines and curves. They can also be seen when using the pen tool or editing the points along a path. Vector art is ideal for type and drawn shapes because they can be enlarged to any size while maintaining crisp outlines and details without sacrificing quality. The distance between the vectors is calculated mathematically and is not dependent upon resolution. 

Raster Art

Raster images consist of colored squares, called pixels. They are created by combining a series of various colored pixels. Digital photographs are made up of pixels. If you view a raster image at 200% or more you are able to see the individual pixels that make up the image. Raster images are dependent upon resolution so image enlargement is limited by the individual size at which the file was created. If a file is produced at a size that is larger than its resolution will allow, the quality will decrease. Printing a low resolution file will result in pixelation. Individual pixels are large enough to be easily discernable. Increasing the resolution will not solve this problem is there are not enough pixels to begin with. The program will add more pixels based upon the estimation of their location and will then assign their neighboring pixels's color value. This may cause an image to look muddy. 

If submitting these files, please follow the guidelines below:

  • 100% scale (full size output) at 100 dpi
  • 50% scale at 200 dpi or higher
  • 25% scale at 300 dpi or higher
  • 10% scale at 600-1200 dpi recommended

Design Services

If you are not able to provide us with a good quality image, we do have a vectorizing/recreating service available. Most logos or images can be recreated for as little as $15; however images with more detail are subject to quoting prior to vectorizing the image. Please contact a sales representative for more details.

This service needs to be paid for in advance and we will be happy to give you a copy of the vector file once it is complete.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are QR codes?

QR Codes are a computer-recognized pattern that can be scanned with a phone camera. Similar to a bar code on a product, this pattern is recognized by its unique composition and will bring you to a website that is associated with that particular pattern. 


QR codes are exceptionally handy for websites with longer URLs that would take a considerable amount of time to type in, or are more complex than a typical website (like a tracking link).

There are three material types to choose from for your custom QR Code Stickers; economy, standard and premium.

What are some fun ways I can use QR code stickers?

Scavenger Hunt

QR code stickers are perfect for scavenger hunts, allowing people to receive clues or information for their next location or challenge through their smart phone. 

Menus

By scanning the QR code, customers can view detailed descriptions of dishes, nutritional information, pricing, and any specials or promotions. QR codes for menus provide a contactless and convenient way for customers to explore menu options, making the dining experience more interactive and streamlined.

Art

By including a QR code sticker into your exhibits or artwork, allows viewers to scan the QR code by using their smartphone to access multimedia content, artist interviews, behind-scenes footage, or interactive elements relating to your art. This type of interactivity adds a layer of storytelling and deeper level of engagement, allowing viewers to see a deeper level of context, inspiration and narratives behind your artwork.

Packaging

These small, scannable items are the perfect way for people to look up information on their products, unlock exclusive content or check out behind-the-scenes information. Just scan the QR code with your smartphone, and voila!

Music

With a simple scan, QR codes can transport listeners into a world of music. Whether it’s discovering new music, accessing exclusive content, or connecting with your favorite artists, QR codes make exploring music an interactive and exciting experience. 

 

What surfaces or material do stickers not stick to?

QR code stickers do not stick well to dirty or textured surfaces. For the highest quality application, you will want to make sure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. If you have dirt, dust or texture under your sticker, it will not stick well and will peel off of the surface you placed it on. Reason being, the adhesive material isn’t attaching to the surface as needed when there is dirt, dust, or texture on the surface you are applying it to. Check out our blog, “How to Install a Sticker” for more information.

Will the adhesive leave any yucky goo?

That depends on the material choice. Our removable vinyl is designed to be cleanly removed without residue up to one year after placement. If you have gooey concerns, then we suggest you select this option.

Does heat make stickers stick better?

Yep, the adhesive on QR code stickers tends to work better in warmer temperatures. The ideal application temperature is anywhere between 60 to 74°F. It is more important to make sure it isn’t cold when applying a sticker. Just like how we don’t like to move in the cold, the glue film on the sticker will harden in the cold making it less sticky during your application. Check out our blog “A Guide On How To Install A Sticker” for more details!

How small or large can I print my qr code stickers?

We give you a variety of choices for your sizes. Our standard sizes range from 2.5 inches minimum to 12.0 inches maximum. With flexible length and width combinations to fit your specific needs. So it doesn’t matter if you are looking for a compact size to fit smaller surfaces or a larger size to maximize visibility.

Also, if you are interested in a bigger size(up to 52” x 120”), you can visit our website’s custom vinyl stickers section.

Our customer-friendly focused approach ensures that you have the ability to choose the perfect size for your QR code sticker.

Are the QR stickers waterproof?

Yes, our QR code stickers are designed to be waterproof. This is because our stickers are made from a durable vinyl material that’s designed to withstand a wide variety of environmental conditions!
