Die cut stickers are custom-made stickers that are cut to a specific shape or design. They are cut through both the vinyl and paper backing layers to fit the exact shape of the design. This makes for a great looking sticker even before its applied to anything. Die cut stickers can be cut in the exact shape of your custom design, making them a popular option for companies to put their logo or product name on items such as laptops, water bottles, and more. They are versatile and durable and can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Kiss cut stickers, on the other hand, are only cut through the upper material layer, leaving the backing paper intact. This makes it a little easier to peel and helps protect the sticker. Kiss cuts are lighter cuts that only cut through the vinyl decal and not the backing material. Kiss cut stickers are popular when creating a sticker sheet, cutting out multiple designs on one page or sheet.
In summary, the main difference between die-cut stickers and kiss-cut stickers is how they are cut. Die cut stickers are cut through the material layer and the backing paper, whereas kiss cut stickers are only cut through the upper material layer, leaving the backing paper intact.
