Individually cut
When you order die cut stickers, your die cuts will arrive individually cut. That means that your stickers will be cut through the materials as well as the backing paper.
Stickers are usually individually cut, which makes them perfect for handouts and giveaways.

When you order sheets, your labels will have an added border that makes them easier to peel and therefore faster to apply – perfect for labelling hundreds of products.
