What is a die-cut?
There are various cutting options when producing stickers. For example, you may want to receive a sticker sheet where the stickers are cut loose from the paper, but are still collected on the paper. Or you want fully contour-cut stickers that are completely cut separately from each other.
The difference between kiss-cut and die-cut
As described above, there are two ways to cut out stickers.
The stickers are cut onto a sheet, leaving the backing (the sheet they are cut on) intact. You only remove the stickers from the paper. This is called a kiss cut: only the sticker is cut, not the backing.
The second method involves fully cut stickers that are no longer connected to each other. Both the sticker and the backing are cut. This is known as a die cut.
