What should I know before ordering die-cut labels?
Everything you need to know about 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.
Die-cut stickers are made by cutting through both the vinyl sticker material and the paper backing. Kiss-cut stickers are made by only cutting through the vinyl layer and not the paper backing, leaving an edge or border around your sticker.
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.
Economy Vinyl (3-5 year lifespan), Standard Vinyl (3-5 year outdoor durability), and Premium Vinyl (up to 8 years outdoor durability).
Die-cut stickers are available in either a glossy or matte finish. Matte laminate diffuses light, while gloss laminate adds a shine to your stickers that reflects light.
Yes, all of our die-cut stickers come laminated. You can choose from our standard lamination or our premium lamination.
Die-cut stickers work best on smooth, solid surfaces. Some of these places include glass, metal and plastic.
Die-cut stickers do not stick well to dirty or textured surfaces. The surface needs to be clean, dry, and smooth.
The adhesive works better in warmer temperatures. The ideal temperature is room temperature.
Our premium vinyl stickers are designed to last 3-5 years outdoors with proper application. They feature UV-resistant inks and waterproof lamination that protect against sun fading, rain, and temperature changes. For maximum durability, apply to clean, dry surfaces and avoid extreme heat during application.
Yes, our waterproof vinyl stickers with lamination can withstand regular dishwasher cycles. For best results, place stickers on the top rack and avoid high-heat drying settings. Hand washing will extend the life of your stickers even longer. Note: Paper stickers and non-laminated options are not dishwasher safe.
Start with a high-resolution image (300 DPI minimum) in the actual size you want printed. Use our online design tool to upload your artwork, add text, or choose from templates. For die-cut stickers, ensure your design has clear edges. We provide a free proof before printing so you can approve the final design.
PNG and PDF files work best for sticker printing. PNG preserves transparency for die-cut designs, while PDF maintains vector quality for text and logos. We also accept JPG, AI, and PSD files. For best results, use CMYK color mode and include 1/8" bleed around your design edges.
