See the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stickers<\/a> are a great way to show off your creativity, promote your business, or add a personal touch to your products and packaging. But when choosing between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers, what’s the difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest difference is how they’re cut. With die-cut stickers<\/a>, the cut goes through both the sticker material and backing to create an individual custom shape. With kiss-cut stickers<\/a>, the cut goes through only the sticker material, leaving the backing intact for easy peeling and application. Both offer plenty of ways to customize your designs, so the right choice depends on how you plan to use your stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are die-cut stickers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Die-cutting creates stickers in specific shapes, much like a cookie cutter. This process, known as contour cutting, follows the exact outline of your image or design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes die-cut stickers a great choice for custom logo stickers<\/a>, water bottle stickers<\/a>, laptop decals<\/a>, and other creative projects where you want the shape to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of die-cut stickers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Custom shapes:<\/strong> Create stickers that follow the shape of your logo, artwork, or other custom designs. With both the sticker and backing following the shape of your design, your stickers stand out even before you apply them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to share<\/strong>: The individually cut shapes make die-cut stickers easy to hand out at trade shows<\/a> (trust us, people come to our trade show booth just for stickers) or include as a gift with a purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multiple uses<\/strong>: Use die-cut stickers as product labels, promotional giveaways, or personalized gifts. Their custom shapes help showcase your brand and make your designs stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are kiss-cut stickers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Kiss<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kiss-cut stickers are made by cutting only through the sticker’s top layer, leaving the backing sheet and a border intact. This creates a frame around your sticker, making it easy to peel and apply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes kiss-cut stickers a convenient choice for product packaging, promotional materials, and projects where you need to apply multiple stickers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benefits of kiss-cut stickers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Easy to peel & apply<\/strong>: The backing around kiss-cut stickers makes them easy to peel and apply. They’re available in different formats, including sheets and rolls, for convenient application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexible design options<\/strong>: Kiss-cut stickers can feature simple or intricate shapes, giving you plenty of ways to customize your designs while keeping the surrounding backing intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Convenient for larger quantities<\/strong>: Kiss-cut stickers are a practical option for projects that require multiple stickers, such as product packaging, promotional materials, and event giveaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing the right sticker for you<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When choosing between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers, think about how you plan to use them. Die-cut stickers are a great choice when you want individual stickers cut to the shape of your design, especially for giveaways, merchandise, or branding. Kiss-cut stickers leave the surrounding backing intact, making them easy to peel and apply to products, packaging, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both options can feature custom shapes and detailed designs, so consider how you’ll distribute, display, or apply your stickers. The right choice depends on what works best for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Find the right stickers for your project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the die-cut vs. kiss-cut sticker decision, there\u2019s no one right choice\u2014it all depends on your needs and preferences. Whether you prefer the individually cut shape of die-cut stickers<\/a> or the easy-to-peel backing of kiss-cut stickers<\/a>, both options give you plenty of ways to bring your designs to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avery offers both die-cut and kiss-cut stickers, so you can find exactly what you need for your next sticker project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town.

I covered everything from the LA riots and LA Raiders to flash floods and red carpet movie premieres\u2014basically, the usual glamorous stuff. Later, at The Los Angeles Times, I spent more than a decade covering college, professional and high school sports. I kept my NBA ties strong by working in PR for their summer league and writing for NBA.com. I also spent 9 unforgettable New Year's Days working in the press box for Rose Bowl games. When the newspaper industry started crumbling, I transitioned into covering commercial real estate\u2014until the recession came along and crashed that party too. (Honestly, that was probably a blessing. Writing about cap rates, capital stacks, bridge loans, and mezzanine loans was giving me a serious case of brain fog.) Enter Avery, swooping in to save the day. Now, I\u2019ve been with Avery for almost 15 years, where I\u2019ve been able to put my writing experience to use in new ways. I write website content, marketing emails, and blog posts\u2014basically, all the words that help businesses and consumers figure out how to label their stuff. When I\u2019m not glued to a screen, I\u2019m out exploring the desert landscapes around Las Vegas\u2014whether it\u2019s hiking (walking) through Red Rock Canyon, cooling off at Mt. Charleston, or making the trek to Area 51 (because who doesn\u2019t love a good conspiracy?). I avoid the Strip unless there\u2019s a rock band I can\u2019t miss or I have friends in town. At home, I enjoy cooking, playing with my furry friends and figuring out how to garden in the desert (spoiler: it\u2019s a lot harder than it sounds).","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.avery.com","www.linkedin.com\/in\/melanieneff","mneff@avery.com"],"knowsAbout":["labels","stickers","sports","real estate finance"],"url":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/author\/mneff\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20457"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20457\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30638,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20457\/revisions\/30638"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.avery.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
