Set Up Your Artwork for Success

To ensure your Custom Die-Cut Stickers print perfectly, follow these essential guidelines when preparing your artwork files:

Artwork File Specifications:

Resolution: Minimum of 300 DPI (at your requested size) for crisp, high-quality prints.
Color Mode: Set your file to CMYK (not RGB), with Pantone colors converted to CMYK, as this will give you the most accurate color results.
File Formats Accepted: PDF, AI, PSD, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or EPS.
Preferred Files: Vector artwork (PDF, AI) or high-resolution raster images (300 DPI).

Size Limitations for Die-Cut Stickers:

Smallest: 1” x 1”
Largest: 11” x 14”

Important Tips for Perfect Prints:

Use vector files whenever possible for scalability.
Embed all images and outline all fonts to avoid missing elements.
Add 1/8” bleed beyond the cutline for a clean edge.
Ensure important design elements are at least 1/16” away from the cutline to avoid trimming errors.

Why 300 DPI Matters?

Artwork resolution plays a crucial role in print quality. Here's why 300 DPI is the standard for printing:

Sharp, Detailed Prints: High DPI ensures your design looks clean and professional without pixelation.
Accurate Colors: More pixels result in more precise color representation.
Professional Quality: Avoid blurry, distorted prints that may harm your brand’s image.

Custom Die Cut Stickers are cut to the exact shape you choose, creating a high-quality, professional branding tool that stands out. Built for durability and versatility, these stickers help businesses across multiple industries increase brand visibility and customer engagement.

Custom Die Cut Stickers are used for:

Branded Merchandise & Giveaways – Perfect for trade shows, product launches, and corporate events to keep your brand in front of customers.
Retail & E-Commerce Branding – Include them in shipments or use as a customer freebie to reinforce brand loyalty and encourage repeat purchases.
Marketing & Advertising Campaigns – Incorporate stickers into promotional materials, direct mail campaigns, and influencer partnerships for high-impact exposure.

Creative & Entertainment Industries – Ideal for artists, musicians, and content creators looking for a unique way to connect with their audience.

Die Cut Sticker Application Tips:

Apply stickers to clean, flat surfaces for a secure hold
When applying, press down from one peeled end and smooth out to avoid bubbles
Take extra caution when applying to curved surfaces (like helmets or water bottles) to prevent wrinkles
Glossy & matte laminations are durable outdoors and work well for bumper stickers, window decals, and more
These stickers are dishwasher- and microwave-safe, making them great for food-safe containers
Our custom stickers are weatherproof & waterproof, but not meant for full submersion (e.g., underwater use)
Not designed for product labeling – If you need labels for bottles, jars, or packaging, check out our Custom Labels instead
Not food-safe – These stickers should not be placed directly on food or edible items

When it comes to ordering custom stickers, one of the most important decisions you can make is figuring out the best size to get. Choose a size that is too small, and your design may get lost in the shuffle. Get a size that is too large, and it may fail to impress your fans or potential customers.

Here are a few size comparisons to things we see all the time.

A quarter is about an inch in diameter, and this size works great for supporting branding labels, or small easy to hand out stickers.

An Oreo cookie is about 2 inches in diameter for a size that allows for an easy to see logo or visible designs, in a size that will still be easily seen if applied to the back of a phone or laptop.

Standard business cards are usually 2x3 inches, and ovals and rectangles in this size are popular options for custom stickers. This size is easy to share with your fans at events to get your logo out in the world.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Die Cut Stickers?

A Custom Die Cut Sticker is a sticker that's cut all the way through both the material and the backing paper to match the exact shape of your sticker. This means when you peel it off, there’s no extra border—just your design, ready to stick. Die Cut stickers give a clean, professional look and are perfect for handing out or applying to any surface. Available in both glossy and matte finishes, they offer flexibility to fit your brand's unique style, making them the ideal choice for personalized stickers.

What’s the Difference Between Die Cut Stickers and Kiss Cut Stickers?

Die Cut Stickers are cut through both the top layer and the backing paper, creating a sticker that takes the exact shape of your design. They’re perfect for handing out or applying individually, offering easy peeling and precise placement. Kiss Cut Stickers, on the other hand, are only cut through the top layer, leaving the backing paper intact around the design. This makes them easier to peel and provides extra protection, especially for delicate designs.

Are Die Cut Stickers Waterproof and Durable?

Yes! Our Die Cut stickers are made with high-quality white BOPP (polypropylene) material and a strong adhesive that ensures durability. They are waterproof, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant, making them perfect for indoor and outdoor use.

Are Die Cut Stickers the Same as Labels?

Not exactly. While both are made from durable materials like BOPP, Die Cut Stickers are individually cut to the exact shape of your design, making them perfect for giveaways, promotions, or adding a creative touch to your brand. Labels are typically finished on rolls, designed for easy application directly onto products like packaging or containers. Stickers are more durable for outdoor use, with UV, water, and scratch resistance, while labels are often used indoors and can include options like tamper-evident finishes or biodegradable materials. Understanding these differences will help you choose the perfect option for your project.
