What should I know before ordering kiss cut stickers?
Everything you need to know about kiss cut stickers
A kiss cut sticker is cut through the vinyl layer only, not the paper backing, leaving a backing border that protects the design and makes the sticker easier to peel.
Choose a kiss cut sticker when you need easy peel, faster application, or you have intricate designs that benefit from the protective backing border, especially for bulk sticker orders.
Our kiss cut stickers are made out of durable outdoor vinyl that can last up to 5 years.
Yes, kiss cut stickers are laminated in either a gloss or a matte finish.

Use 300 DPI art at final size. The best files to use are PNG (transparent backgrounds) or PDF (logos/text). Please include a 1/8" bleed if printing to the edge.
