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.
| Cut type | What is cut | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Kiss-cut | Sticker only, backing intact | Stickers stay on the sheet until peeled |
| Die-cut to size | Sticker and backing | Fully separated individual pieces |
- 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.
