Choosing Between Die Cut, Kiss Cut, and Sticker Sheets

When it comes to custom stickers, artists and businesses have three main options for showcasing their designs: die cut, kiss cut, and sticker sheets. All three can produce great stickers, depending on the look, functionality, and purpose of the stickers you want to create.

No matter which type of sticker you choose, Rockin’ Stickers ensures high-quality custom stickers that let your design shine. Our precise cutting technology allows us to create complex designs with high precision, so your custom art stickers come out exactly the way you want them to.

Die Cut Vs. Kiss Cut

If you’ve ever wondered, “what's the difference between a die cut sticker and a kiss cut sticker?”, you’ve come to the right place. While die cut and kiss cut stickers may look similar when they’re made using the same artwork, they have key differences. Let’s take a look at these differences so you can decide which option is best suited to your project.

Three Types of Custom Stickers to Choose From

Die Cut Stickers

Die cut stickers are great for bold, stand-alone designs with precise edges. They can be cut into custom shapes, square/rectangle, or circle/oval in a variety of sizes. Die cut stickers have a backing that is cut to the exact shape of the design. Choose from a glossy or matte (are we going to be adding semi-gloss?) finish that matches your unique vision.

With vibrant colors and long-lasting durability, our die-cut stickers are perfect for advertising your company, making giveaways for events, or branding your products.

Kiss Cut Stickers

Kiss cut stickers are perfect for intricate designs and sticker sheets. To make kiss cut stickers, we take durable vinyl and precisely cut around your sticker design with special blades, leaving a vinyl border and paper backing intact that protects the sticker and makes your stickers easy to peel. The extra space outside the sticker cut line can also be used to add fun details or extra info!

Kiss cut stickers are mostly used by businesses and artists because they are ideal for branding, personalizing items, and promotional merch.

Sticker Sheets

Sticker sheets are the perfect way to fit one or more sticker designs on one page. You can customize your vinyl sticker sheets to arrange your stickers any way you want. Each sticker is kiss cut for easy peeling, so they're great for creating sticker packs, themed sticker collections, or showcasing several smaller designs for retail displays and promotional giveaways.
