Question

What is a kiss-cut option for stickers?

Answer

Kiss-cut is a finishing method where the blade cuts through the sticker face but not the backing, so each sticker peels off the sheet one at a time.

  • Kiss-cut keeps stickers on the sheet until the end user peels them.
  • Die-cut to size fully separates each piece.

  • Cost: kiss-cut on sheets is usually more economical than cutting stickers as individual pieces.
  • Handling: ideal when stickers stay together, like sheets you keep on hand or apply in batches.
  • When to skip it: if you need loose, individual stickers for giveaways or handouts, individual die-cutting is worth the higher price.
