A Closer Look: Die Cut and Kiss Cut Stickers

Being flexible and building versatile relationships is necessary to help your business reach its full potential. Of course, this also extends to your marketing efforts as well. You want to put only some of your eggs into a single basket just in case something does not work out. Here is a tool that you may want to use for all of your marketing and promotional endeavours. These tools? Stickers! 

Stickers can be used in almost any way that you want, making them one of the best marketing tools that you can get your hands on. Today, we are going to take a look at a specific kind of sticker that you may have heard about die-cut and kiss-cut stickers. What are these? How are they different from each other? We'll answer all of your questions and more.

Let's take a look:

What are Die Cut Stickers?

First, we'll be looking at the die cut stickers. The main characteristic of this sticker is how it is cut into a specific shape, often in the design that you've made. This aspect makes these stickers look like miniature works of art, totally capturing the unique elements of your logo, product, or even your company mascot. If you want to stand out among the crowd, then this is the kind of sticker that you should be going for. 

An Example: Here's a famous example of a logo that would make a perfect die-cut sticker: the Nike swoosh. The shape is so distinct that it can be recognised the moment you see it. With this in mind, you should think about using the die-cut type to create custom logo stickers of your very own.

What are Kiss Cut Stickers?

Now, let's take a look at what kiss cut stickers are all about. Unlike the die-cut stickers, these are cut in a way that leaves the backing paper still intact. The extra backing paper makes it easier to peel the sticker off and apply it to the chosen surfaces. This type of sticker is also the ideal one to choose if you want to create intricate designs and shapes. Another reason why this type of sticker is so good is how cost-effective it is, so it's perfect if you want to print out multiple types at once. 

An Example: Kiss cut stickers are best used for bulk printing. Think sheet stickers with multiple product labels, designs, even bar codes. When you want something for your arts and crafts project, then these are the stickers for you.

Kiss Cut vs Die Cut Stickers - What's Better?

Now, we've come to the part that many of you are asking about. Which of them is better than the other? It depends on what you plan on using them for. Both stickers, while being quite similar to each other, are vastly different and charming. It all really boils down to how you plan on using them. Do you want to print multiple stickers on a single sheet? Kiss cut is what you want. Do you want the logo's shape to stand out? Then, it would help if you went with die-cut stickers. Don't take our word for it; try it out yourself and discover if you prefer using one over the other.
