Question

What is the difference between Die-Cut and Kiss Cut Stickers?

Answer

Both finishes follow the outline of your artwork, but they differ in how deep the blade goes and how the sticker peels.

TypeHow it is cutBest for
Die-CutThe entire sticker is cut all the way through into any custom shape you select, so the backing follows the same outline as the sticker.Single stickers, custom silhouettes, giveaways
Kiss CutThe blade cuts only the top vinyl layer and leaves the backing sheet intact, so the sticker lifts off a square or rectangular backer.Sticker sheets, easy peeling, multi-sticker layouts
  • Die-cut gives you a clean, contour-shaped edge with no extra border.
  • Kiss cut keeps a flat backing that is simple to store, hand out, and peel.
