Cut to shape

The stand-out, defining feature of die cut stickers is that they are cut in a custom shape. This is why they are often referred to as custom-shaped stickers.

This custom shape usually follows the outline of your design and can, therefore, be in any specific shape you can think of. It is also what differentiates die cut stickers from other types of stickers. You can learn more about that in our article die cut stickers vs. regular stickers.

We display the shape of your custom die cut stickers in your digital proof. You will see a pink line around your design that indicates the edge of your stickers.

These various shapes are created with a highly accurate digital cutter to create stickers in almost any shape. Like this:

Individually cut

When you order die cut stickers, your die cuts will arrive individually cut. That means your stickers will be cut through the materials and the backing paper.

Stickers are usually individually cut, which makes them perfect for handouts and giveaways.

However, if you order die cut labels, they will arrive on sheets. That is the only difference between die cut stickers and labels.

Here is a proof example for die-cut labels on sheets:

 

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

Choose any material

You essentially order a custom-shaped sticker when you order die cut stickers. This does not include the material your die cut sticker will be printed onto.

There, you can find plenty of information on each material to help you make the right decision. However, here is a brief overview of the different material categories we offer:

Vinyl stickers

Vinyl stickers are a large category that includes all vinyl-based stickers.

Use vinyl stickers if your products come in contact with water or are used outside. These are also perfect if you want to create durable logo stickers.

Special effect stickers

Special effect stickers are a subcategory of vinyl stickers. Other than your standard white vinyl stickers, these sticker materials have stunning effects.

We offer glitter, holographic, silver, gold, clear, and fluorescent effects. Use these to create eye-catching product packaging or add some pizazz to your design.

Paper stickers

Paper stickers are the sustainable counterpart to vinyl stickers. They are plastic-free and biodegradable, perfect for eco-conscious brands and compostable product packaging.

However, since these stickers are made from paper, they are not waterproof and should be used indoors only.

Eco-friendly stickers

Eco-friendly stickers are the perfect middle-ground between durable vinyl stickers and biodegradable paper stickers.

Our eco-friendly stickers are available in white, clear, silver, gold, holographic, and glitter. They are waterproof and fully compostable. It is ideal if you are looking for a more durable, eco-friendly option.

You can either upload your existing design when placing your die cut sticker order or design your artwork at no additional cost.

We offer a free online design tool called Graphic. It allows you to browse and edit hundreds of pre-designed templates and elements and create your sticker design in minutes – without any design expertise.
