What Are Die-Cut Stickers?
Die-cut stickers are printed labels trimmed precisely to the outline of your artwork, so the finished sticker IS your logo, icon, or text — no white background, no rectangle border, just the shape itself. Each piece is cut cleanly through the vinyl and its backing, which means custom die-cut stickers sit flush on any surface and read far more premium than a generic label. Printed on high-quality vinyl with strong adhesive, they are waterproof, weatherproof, and built for indoor or outdoor use.
Die-Cut vs. Kiss-Cut Stickers
The difference is how far the cut goes. Die-cut stickers are cut all the way through the backing so every sticker is a separate, ready-to-hand piece — the cleanest option for giveaways, packaging, and one-at-a-time distribution. Kiss-cut stickers cut only the vinyl layer, leaving multiple designs sharing one sheet of backing until peeled, which suits sticker sheets and sample bags. If a campaign needs both, many brands pair a die-cut hero sticker with kiss-cut sheets for quantity.
Custom Shapes: Logos, Icons & Text
Because the cut follows your contour, any shape works — a logo silhouette, mascot, product, shield, speech bubble, or your brand name set in the exact font. We preflight every file for resolution and cut-line clearance so thin stems, tight letterforms, and small details stay crisp on the blade. Standard circle, oval, and rectangle shapes are available too, whenever you want a simpler, sticker-classic look.
Die-Cut Stickers for Product Packaging
Product packaging is where a custom shape earns its keep. A die-cut logo on a jar, box, bottle, or tube adds a finished, intentional feel that a plain rectangle cannot match — even on low-cost packaging. Pair a shape sticker with custom product labels when you also need barcodes, ingredient lists, or compliance copy printed separately.
Die-Cut Stickers for Branding & Promotions
Die-cut stickers are the workhorse of promotional and event stickers: trade-show giveaways, conference swag, product reveals, and campaign mailers all use them because a well-cut shape gets applied and kept. Add a short URL or QR code sticker to the design and the giveaway doubles as a trackable lead source. Permanent and removable adhesive options let you match the application surface every time.
Waterproof & Durable by Design
Every die-cut sticker prints in full-color CMYK at 300 DPI with UV-protected, scratch-resistant vinyl. The finish controls the feel: glossy pops with rich color, matte cuts glare on windows and vehicles, UV laminate adds a clear armor layer for heavy handling, and holographic shifts with the light for real shelf drama. All four survive rain, sunscreen, bottle condensation, and weeks in a laptop bag without peeling.
Clear & Holographic Die-Cut Stickers
Clear vinyl die-cut stickers let the surface show through so a window, bottle, or product becomes part of the design; the printed color keeps its vibrancy while the background stays see-through. Holographic starts with a rainbow-metallic film that turns any shape into a premium, playful piece perfect for launches and giveaways. See the full clear vinyl stickers options for transparent printing details.
Sizes: From 1 to 12 Inches
Printed sizes run from a 1-inch lanyard or product seal up to 12-inch panels for signage, vehicle glass, and storefronts. For giveaways, 2–3 inches is the keep-it sweet spot; for packaging, 1–2 inches suits jars, tubes, and inserts. We size and proof to your surface — order a sticker test-run first when you are setting size for the first time.
