Die-Cut - (Contour 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 *

Die Cut Sticker Artwork Specifications

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 sticker 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 if 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 print ready artwork, we do have a vectorizing/recreating service available. Most logos or images can be recreated for $70. Artwork design service discounts may apply.  Please contact a sales representative today 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.

Die-cut stickers are popular for decorative purposes, such as customizing laptops, notebooks, water bottles, and other personal items. They allow people to express their personality, interests, or affiliations!

Do you need easily removable stickers?

Die-cut stickers are designed to be removable without leaving residue behind. This allows for repositioning or removing the stickers if needed, without damaging the surface or leaving a sticky residue.

Do you need advertising?

Die-cut stickers serve as an effective branding and marketing tool. You can print your logo, brand name, or website URL on the stickers and distribute them at events, trade shows, or as freebies with purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are die cut stickers?

Die-cut stickers are custom-shaped stickers. Die-cut is simply a cutting technique that cuts through both the vinyl adhesive and the paper backing at the same time. This allows for effortless peeling, while not leaving behind any border. For further details, explore our blog covering everything you need to know about die-cut stickers.

What is the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers?

Die-cut stickers are made by cutting through both the vinyl sticker material and the paper backing. This cut type doesn't include a border or an edge. Another way to think about it is as a "cookie cutter." Kiss-cut stickers are made by only cutting through the vinyl layer ("sticker material") and not the paper backing, leaving an edge or border around your sticker. Because of the extra material around the edges of your sticker, they are super easy to peel and you can choose a more intricate shaped design. Note: Once the same print design of kiss-cut and die-cut stickers are applied, they look the same. For more information check out our blog on die-cut vs kiss-cut stickers.

What are some typical uses of die-cut stickers?

These products can be used for work and play! Use them to market coffee shops, rideshare services, homeaways or concerts. At school or home, you can jazz up water bottles, walls or opt for some laptop stickers. You can even order die-cut sticker sheets!

What kind of material are die-cut stickers made from?

We carry 3 different material types for our standard stickers. All die-cut stickers are available with a matte or gloss finish & a lamination choice between standard lamination, which is a liquid UV lamination or our premium lamination, which is a film lamination.

Do die-cut stickers have a glossy or matte finish?

Die-cut stickers are available in either a glossy or matte finish. Matte laminate diffuses light and reduces the shine of the ink making text easier to read from all angles since it doesn’t glare. Whereas, gloss laminate adds a shine to your stickers that reflects light creating a more vibrant color than the matte finish.

Are your die-cut stickers laminated?

Yes, all of our die-cut stickers come laminated. You can choose from our standard lamination, which is a liquid or our premium lamination, which is a film lamination.

How do I design my custom die-cut stickers on your website?

What are the best surfaces to place die-cut stickers on?

Die-cut stickers work best on smooth, solid surfaces. Some of these places include glass, metal and plastic. Examples include; car doors, windows , laptops or lockers. Check out our blog, “How to Install a Sticker” for more information.

What surfaces or material do die-cut stickers not stick to?

Die-cut 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 die-cut 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.

Does heating a die-cut sticker make it stick better?

The adhesive on a die-cut sticker works better in warmer temperatures. The ideal temperature for applying a die-cut sticker is room temperature (60 to 74 degrees Fahrenheit). 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 for more details!

What’s your most affordable sticker?

It depends on your specific project and needs. Our price set is based on 5 options our customers can pick from: Cut type, material type, size, quantity, and production time. For help, contact our customer service team.

What sizes do your die-cut stickers come in?

Die-cut stickers have a minimum print width and height of 2” and a maximum print width and height of 12”. If you are looking for a larger sticker, either go to our oversized sticker page to order or contact us for a custom quote.
