Glossy or Matte Die Cut Stickers Offer You Choice of Finishes
It’s all about options, and at Stickerbeat we give you the ability to customize everything about your die cut stickers and decals. You can also choose a glossy or matte finish on your die cut stickers for full personalization. Glossy or Matte? Which finish do you prefer? What’s the difference between matte and glossy die cut stickers? We love to give you choices. Color, size, shape and finish are all available to you to 100% customize your personalized die cut sticker or decal project. Both our glossy and matte finishes hold color beautifully, feature the same 3M graphic vinyl and are UV resistant. They can both be used indoors and out; so, it’s really a matter of personal taste which surface finish you prefer. Gloss: this finish is super shiny and it makes a sticker pop with shine. Laptop stickers or event stickers really get a lot of attention thanks to a high gloss shine. You get a lot of color contrast due to the shine, so colors really pop. Gloss die cut stickers and decals have a decidedly modern feel with a lot of energy. If your sticker or decal has a lot of colors in it, go for gloss. Matte: this has a soft satin appearance with a very low sheen. It’s ideal for stickers that have a photo image or a lot of detail. This finish provides low glare, so stickers blend in well to any surface it is adhered to. If you prefer a more subtle and muted look or your artwork has few colors—let matte add some extra sophistication. Matte finishes give an almost vintage feel to your decals thanks to its more eggshell toned coating. Where do matte and glossy finishes work best? Nothing beats a glossy sticker outdoors. If you want to add numbers to your mailbox, put a sticker on your car, or have a band to promote, go gloss for sure! If you’ve got a wedding sticker you want to send out to family, want to put labels on a candle jar or you are creating a wall decal or lettering—then let matte be your friend. There really is no wrong or right choice when you select matte or glossy, it’s all about preference. Either way, we can assure you that your sticker will look fabulous! The process is still easy and the same when ordering your personalized sticker or decals. Just upload your artwork, and decide whether you want a matte or glossy finish. We get your die cut sticker or decal shipped to you FREE within 3 days!

Learn morePre-Made Versus Custom Die Cut Stickers -- The Difference is Undeniable
There is a difference between buying an off-the-shelf pre-made stickers and custom die cut stickers, ya know? For starters, ordering a pre-printed sticker just gets you a mass-produced repeat of what everyone else already has, and we’re not about that at Stickerbeat. If you are looking for something that is uniquely distinctive and one-of-a-kind, then you know we are talking about your ability to fully personalize a custom sticker that you design. Sure you can go to a big box store and buy an already printed sticker, but isn’t that boring?! Why would anyone want something that’s hanging in their neighbor’s home? We give you the tools to create something magical and that’s custom just for you and nobody else. Most store-bought stickers are made of paper or thin grade vinyl that just isn’t up to snuff. You can’t compare the quality, the finish or even the adhesion. That’s why when you buy cheap internet or big box store stickers they tend to peel up, bubble and just won’t stay down. A sticker that is constantly falling off your wall or other surfaces just isn’t any fun, is it?! Inferior paper or thin vinyl stickers are just nowhere near as durable as our super high-quality 3M Scotchcal Graphic Vinyl that is 4mm thick. You will notice with those other low-grade stickers that they will fade and age poorly and their glue starts to break down quickly. That’s not the case with a Stickerbeat die cut sticker, because they are weatherproof, fade resistant and they stay vibrant for years. In addition, every Stickerbeat sticker is laminated on top for extra protection. Our stickers are tough and they will stand the test of time. EVERYTHING about your sticker can be customized for you at Stickerbeat—size, shape and even color. Don’t be scared to go wild with your design because we will be able to print it out for you no matter what! If you want your sticker to be cut right up to the tippy edge with no excess showing, our Kiss Cut stickers are the way to go. No matter how swirly and complex your design may be, our laser-guided cutting machine is able to cut your image out with high precision right on the borderline. We have circle stickers, square stickers and bumper stickers for your car if that’s what you need, too. We can make you a sticker that can go on a mirror, window or glass with our clear stickers that feature a transparent background; and if you want to stop a crowd in their tracks, then our reflective stickers might be in order. Just use our simple template to make yours or contact our dandy customer service reps to help you design one. Whether your business needs a logo sticker or product sticker; or if you want to design a photo sticker or wedding sticker—we’ve got you covered at Stickerbeat. Raise awareness for your business if you are having a sale, there is no reason to use a pre-printed boring and formulaic sticker that anybody else can buy when you can have a die cut sticker that is all your own. Forget ordinary, make it extraordinarily YOU with a personalized custom sticker all YOUR own!
