Die Cut Stickers

Die Cut Stickers

Die-cut stickers are fully customisable and precisely cut to match the shape of your logo or design, making them more eye-catching than standard shapes. They’re versatile and can be used on packaging, laptops, water bottles, notebooks, and more—helping to spread brand awareness wherever they go.

People love stickers! Whether included as freebies, giveaways, or part of a purchase, customers are likely to use and share them, turning them into organic brand ambassadors. Plus, high-quality die-cut stickers are made from durable, waterproof, and scratch-resistant materials, ensuring your branding stays intact over time.

Perfect for trade shows, in-store promotions, or online contests, these stickers are an easy, cost-effective way to keep your brand top of mind.

Difference Between Die-Cut and Kiss-Cut Stickers -

Both die-cut and kiss-cut stickers are great for branding, but they have key differences:

Die-Cut Stickers

• Cut precisely to the shape of your design, without extra backing around the edges.

• Great for handing out individually as they look clean and professional.

• Ideal for logos, promotional giveaways, and retail branding.

Kiss-Cut Stickers

• The sticker itself is cut to shape, but the backing paper remains intact around it.

• Easier to peel, making them great for sheets or rolls of stickers.

• Ideal for sticker packs, branding on packaging, and bulk applications.

Which one should you choose?

• If you want standalone stickers with a premium look → Die-cut stickers

• If you need easy-peel stickers or sticker sheets → Kiss-cut stickers

Technical Specification for Die-Cut Stickers

Once you have placed your order you can upload your print ready artwork. When supplying artwork for die cut stickers, please supply 1 multi layered PDF, which contains the following:

• 3mm bleed on all sides

• CMYK PDF, preferably PDF/X4a

• Outline or embed fonts

• 300 dpi resolution

• Artwork layer named “Artwork” with CMYK artwork for print

• If you are ordering a circle, square or rectangle shaped label, no cutting shape or layer is required. We will apply this for you automatically.

• If you are ordering a custom shape, please supply a vector cutting guide with a thickness of 0.25pt set as a spot colour named “KissCutting” and set at 100% magenta. This should be setup as an overprint stroke on a layer named “KissCutting”

• If you are ordering a solid fill white underpin, no underpinning is necessary within the artwork document as we will add this for you to the whole of the design automatically.

• We recommend avoiding line borders around the perimeter of your design whenever possible as there is typically a margin of error of around 2mm for movement. This means that even if your design is perfectly centred when you submit it, there is a chance that it may shift slightly during printing. Please have a look at our Help Centre page for more information.

• If you require a selective white underpin (on transparent material) please ensure you have a spot colour named “White” (case sensitive) and set at 100% Cyan. Please make sure that this is set to overprint and is a vector not a bitmap image on a layer named “White”.

• For stickers with foil or selective white, please supply your artwork as a 2 page PDF, page 1 being the print artwork along with any “KissCutting” or “White” layers that are required, with page 2 being the foil/ selective gloss artwork. - Help Centre Article

• Foil artwork must be supplied as vector shapes, any overlapping white elements knocked out of the foiling vectors. Our minimum foiling line weight is 1pt (0.34mm), minimum font size is 10pt (3.4mm) and the minimum gap between foiled or raised gloss elements is 1pt (0.34mm)
