Kiss Cut or Die Cut Stickers Bring You Options When it Comes to Marketing Your Brand
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to custom vinyl sticker options. At Stickerbeat, you can pretty much decide every aspect of your sticker right down to color, size, finish and shape. We also give you the opportunity to determine the cut of your sticker, too. This is why kiss cut stickers and die cut stickers rock for different reasons. What’s the difference between kiss cut and die cut stickers? Customization is the key when it comes to vinyl sticker options, and selecting the cut of your personalized sticker is one option we allow you to select. It’s all about shape really. Simply put, a die cut sticker comes is in the shape of your actual artwork. If your artwork is an image of the sun, for example, then the final result will be a die cut sticker in that very shape. Our magical laser guided cutting blades slice fully through the vinyl AND the paper backing. So, a customer will be holding a sun shaped sticker in their hand. Voila! On the other hand, what is a kiss cut sticker? What makes a kiss cut sticker different is our blades only slice through the vinyl and NOT the paper backing. Your sticker arrives to you with a square or rectangle backing paper with your sticker ready to pluck out of the center when peeled off the paper. What’s cool about kiss cut stickers is that we can cut your artwork right up to the very edge of the design without any excess vinyl showing. Neat! Really, selecting a kiss cut or a die cut sticker is just a matter of individual choice. Both cuts still use our awesome 3M graphic vinyl and can be used indoors or out thanks to their UV resistant capability. Every sticker features our bright inks; and they are waterproof and can easily be wiped down with ease. Die Cut vs. Kiss Cut Stickers—Which Should I Choose? Die Cut: When it comes to high quality, customers seem to feel that die cut stickers have more value because they come in a customized shape. In their hands, the artwork seems to come to life because it is in the outline of your overall design. It just looks cool. If you’ve got a sticker with an interesting shape, go for die cut to really make a statement. This option adds a bit of a more unusual presentation when it comes to marketing your sticker. The con for some to a die-cut sticker is that it is a bit tougher to peel from its backing because the paper sits right at edge of the sticker itself. If you are personally adhering hundreds of stickers to product or surfaces, die cut stickers can make this task time consuming and tiresome. In this case, a kiss cut sticker would make more sense. If you are just handing out stickers to fans, then this option works. Kiss Cut: In this selection, your artwork blends into its backer paper and is presented in almost a frame. Regardless of the shape of your artwork, your sticker will be within a square or rectangle of excess vinyl that surrounds your sticker. All you have to do is peel it away from that center, and get to sticking. Kiss cut stickers are really easy to peel off, and if you’ve got lots of bulk sticking to do—this would be a great choice to get it done quickly. If your artwork is very complex and ornate, kiss cut is definitely be the way to go! Your image is more protected nestled in the safety of the extra vinyl border. Kiss cut is what most of us perceive as the traditional way to present a sticker. It’s just a classic. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with choosing a die cut or a kiss cut sticker—each has its benefits. If you want to wow a customer with a giveaway sticker, definitely opt for die cut to give your brand that extra pizzazz that feels like luxury! If you are simply placing stickers on product or your packaging in volume—then kiss cut stickers are a low priced solution that can be applied quickly. Ordering kiss cut or die cut vinyl stickers is easy at Stickerbeat.com. Just upload your artwork, and decide which option you want--die cut or kiss cut. After you approve your proof, we get your stickers within 3 days with FREE SHIPPING!

Kiss Cut Stickers vs Die Cut Stickers: Which One Do I Need?
Do I need a die cut sticker or a kiss cut sticker? It’s a question we hear all the time. Let Stickerbeat answer this query for you so you can create your custom sticker masterpiece with ease. The good news is that you’ve got options that will suit any need you may have, but truly die cut stickers and kiss cut stickers are quite similar! The difference is in how we cut through the backing. Die cut stickers: Our custom die cut stickers allow you full freedom to create ANY image you want. We put no limits on what shape, size or color it is. With a die cut sticker, our cutting knives cut right through the vinyl AND backing material fully to the exact shape of your sticker. The backing paper comes in two parts to make it easy to crack and peel to separate. It’s the traditional look we all know and love! If you’ve got a lot of stickers to stick, we do offer die cut stickers on a roll that makes them easier to apply. These save a lot of time and cut down on paper waste as well. Kiss Cut sticker: Personalized kiss cut stickers have all the same features of our custom die cut stickers. Shape, color and size are yours to decide. BUT your sticker is NOT fully cut through backing paper, and only through the vinyl of your kiss cut sticker itself. This leaves the backing paper around your sticker, so it’s a little easier to peel off than a traditional die cut sticker. Our special cutting blades are laser-guided and can magically cut your custom kiss cut sticker right up to the very edge of your design with ease. Kiss Cut Stickers Kiss cut stickers are super easy to remove from their backer paper to peel, and you can save money by ordering our sticker sheets with as many stickers will fit on an 8 ½” x 11” sheet. Kiss cut stickers are cut perfectly out of the border they lay inside of . Both our personalized die cut stickers and our custom kiss cut stickers are made from the same durable 3M Scotchcal graphic vinyl. You get the same superior laminated topping for protection on either option you choose. Both are waterproof, UV resistant, and can survive heat and cold. It’s simply a matter of choice if you want extra backing paper or not to make your sticking happen faster. If you are going to be mailing stickers to customers or handing them out at events, a die cut sticker is the way to go for a clean look. If you are going to be labeling lots of products, kiss cut stickers will make the process go by faster for sure. Regardless of whether you choose die cut or kiss stickers, Stickerbeat promises you will LOVE your stickers either way! Upload your digital artwork into our handy tool and we will send you a proof to approve. Once you give it the thumbs up, we will print your stickers and send them out to you within THREE days with FREE SHIPPING! Seriously!

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!
Learn moreThe Diverse Universe of Custom Stickers
Custom stickers have a wide range of applications, whether you’re looking to increase brand exposure, build customer loyalty, or are simply looking for the cost-effective and highly engaging form of marketing for your brand. However, the universe of stickers is highly diverse, and if you aren’t sure what they immobile, it can be difficult to choose the best option for your brand. Below you’ll find some of the most common types of stickers, along with a quick look at what they can be used for and their benefits. Die Cut Stickers Die cut stickers preacher custom shapes as they are cut out along the outline of the design, all the way through the backing paper as well. They can be used for any application and make great giveaways. The main advantage of these types of stickers is they tend to stand out and also have a higher perceived value. They also look great and tend to draw the eye more than other types of stickers, especially if you have a unique design. Geometric Stickers Geometric stickers come in a variety of shapes. They can be round, square, rectangular, oval and so on. They tend to have more space for your design but are still interesting enough to draw the eye. Like die cut stickers, they can be used in a wide range of applications, but they’re especially great when you have a more complex message you want to deliver. Lots of room means your message can be more extensive. However, don’t go overboard because you still want to grab people’s attention and keep it. An overly complex message will do the opposite. Bumper Stickers Bumper stickers are specifically designed to go on cars. They’re weather- and UV-resistant and tend to stand up to harsher environmental conditions quite well. These make a great option for brand exposure, but they’re not that great for complicated messages because the distance is a consideration. After all, if you’re using tiny writing on a bumper sticker, you can’t really expect anyone to see it properly. Remember that bumper stickers can get you a whole lot of exposure – quite a bit more than other types of stickers simply because of where they’re applied. After all, a vehicle tends to get around and be seen by many more eyes than a laptop or backpack, for example. However, to get the most bang for your back, make sure the text is easy to read from a distance and that the design draws the eye without being overly complicated. The simpler it is, the less time someone needs to look at it to get it, which is exactly what you want considering that most people will see it in traffic. Kiss Cut Stickers Kiss cut stickers are sort of like die cut stickers in the sense that the sticker itself is cut out along the outline of the design, but the cut doesn’t go all the way through and the backing paper remains intact. These are a great option for stickers with highly delicate edges that won’t stand up well to a lot of “manhandling” as the backing paper will protect them. Like die cut stickers, they can be used for virtually anything from promoting your brand to supporting your favorite sports team. Clear Stickers Clear stickers are printed on clear vinyl, which makes them excellent for putting on windows or glass walls. The design can be printed on the front or the back, depending on your needs. In other words, you can apply the sticker on the inside of a window and have it facing outwards. These stickers are perfect for store displays or for people to put in their car windows. Remember to consider the application as it will impact the design. A sticker for a car window, for example, should be much simpler in design than one for a shop window. With the latter, people can stop to look at it better, but with the former, this isn’t always the case and to get the greatest degree of exposure, you want people to get the message quickly. Reflective Stickers If you really want everyone to see your stickers, then reflective stickers are a great option. Printed on top-quality reflective material, they come with a really nice shine and glimmer that will undoubtedly draw eyes. They also make great giveaways because they have a high perceived value. Plus, people will be enchanted to receive such amazing-looking stickers and are more likely to display them on their personal belongings. This, in turn, acts as an endorsement for your brand, and no marketing is quite as effective as word-of-mouth marketing. And there’s also the fact that anyone who sees them will want some of their own. Sticker Sheets Sticker sheets are sheets of kiss-cut stickers. In other words, a large sheet with multiple stickers. These are great for a wide range of applications, but especially when you have to remove and apply a lot of stickers. Die-cut stickers are great but removing the backing paper can sometimes be a pain. Conversely, separating stickers from a sheet is much easier and faster. So, if you’re printing labels or envelope seals or pretty much anything that you have to remove in a large quantity, then sticker sheets are your best bet. They also make great giveaways since you can have multiple designs on the same sheet. This is a great way to give out sets of different stickers to people while making sure they’re protected. The world of stickers is certainly a very diverse one, but pretty much all of these stickers are a great option if you’re looking for an engaging marketing approach that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. So, whether you want to let more people know about your brand, or need to advertise a special promotion, or are simply looking for a great but inexpensive way to reward your customers and build loyalty, then custom stickers are definitely your best bet.
Learn moreWhy Stickerbeat Focuses on Customer Service
At Stickerbeat, we specialize in producing a wide range of top quality stickers for our clients. Whether you’re looking for die-cut stickers, kiss-cut stickers, sticker sheets, or any other type of sticker, we can help you. As a company, our focus is on providing outstanding customer service and some might wonder why this is since we are a production company. After all, many companies that produce and sell a physical product seem to be more focused on their product than customer service. Well, here’s why we adopt a completely different approach. It’s the Right Thing to Do First of all, providing great customer service is the right thing to do. It’s the ethical way to do business. Just because you’ve placed your order or your goods have been delivered, it doesn’t mean we’re going to fall off the face of the world. That’s no way to do business. Providing excellent customer service should be something that comes naturally to every company, but sadly that seems to still be too infrequent for the day and age we live in. At Stickerbeat, we want you to know that we go out of our way to provide outstanding customer service because that’s what you deserve. You are entrusting us with your vision and your business, so it’s our duty to make sure that you have a great experience when working with us. We Want Our Customers to Be Happy Customers are at the top of our priority list. We want you to be happy and we definitely want you to enjoy your experience with us, which is why we do everything we can to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. We’re not in the sticker production business to manufacture sticky pieces of vinyl with pictures on them. We’re in the sticker business because we want to give individuals a great and cost-effective opportunity to express themselves and businesses a highly effective yet budget-friendly marketing tool. In other words, we make awesome stickers to make you happy, whether it’s because you’re marking a momentous occasion, putting a smile on the face of your kids, or reaching out to your own prospects and customers to make them happy in turn. And we know it all starts with great customer service, which is why our team will be with you every step of the way, helping you with whatever you need. We Want You to Keep Coming Back to Us The fact is that businesses thrive when they build relationships with their customers, which means that customers need to keep coming back. But for us, building this relationship with you is more than just about building our business – it’s really about building a community. We love working with people and building a community that is as passionate about stickers as we are is our dream. This is why we strive to be the best we can be in every area, but especially customer service. We know that if you have a great experience with us, you’ll work with us again in the future and, over time, we can build that powerful relationship. We Can Ensure You Get Exactly What You Want Our focus on customer service means we can connect with you and ensure we understand exactly what you need. This ensures that the final product is exactly as you envisioned it. After all, there’s nothing worse than being excited when placing your order and becoming completely disappointed when you receive your stickers because they aren’t exactly as you’d imagined. In fact, that’s why we created our platform. It allows to get a clearer idea of what the final product will look like and to make sure that we turn your vision into reality exactly the way you want it done. We Can Understand You Better Through great customer service, we can build powerful relationships with our customers. That means we get to know you and understand what your needs and desires are. This allows us to not only improve our existing products and services to ensure we are delivering precisely what you want, but it also makes it easier for us to develop new products that you truly need. Without this invaluable insight, it would be much harder for us to deliver the awesome products and service you’ve become used to. After all, if we don’t understand what you want, how can we possibly deliver? Unfortunately, many companies out there forget that the main reason for their existence is to solve their customers’ problems. Instead, they latch onto ideas and treat them like their babies, becoming blind and deaf to what their customers are saying. This is an affliction that affects many large corporations, as many think they know better than their customers. We do have to thank those companies though because they did teach us a very valuable lesson: how not to treat our customers. We Appreciate Every One of Our Customers The Stickerbeat team focuses on customer service because we appreciate every one of our customers, no matter how large or small. Whether you order 10 die cut stickers or a gazillion sticker sheets, we appreciate your business and the faith you are placing in us to turn your vision into reality. And though great customer service should be a given, we always go above and beyond because we want you to know how much we appreciate you. Our goal is to ensure that every moment you spend with us, from when you first discover us to the moment you receive your order and beyond, is a delight. We want you to enjoy working with us so much that when you have to order stickers again, you won’t even have to think about who you’ll order from. You’ll automatically head over to our website and place your order because you know that Stickerbeat is a company that appreciates your business and will treat you right, no matter how big or small your order is. At Stickerbeat, we live for our customers.
Learn moreUsing Stickers to Promote Religion
According to Pew Research Center, 23% of US adults stated they didn’t have a religious affiliation, up from 16% in 2007. However, 89% of US adults stated they believed in God, with 61% of the unaffiliated also stating they believe in God. In other words, people are becoming less religious, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they are non-believers. Some feel that this is owed in large part to our consumerist society, which has made people think they can choose their faith as they wish, and switch from one to another whenever they feel like it. In other words, people have started to view religion as they do brands. In fact, Mara Einstein, author of Brands of Faith, explained that people take on religion just like they become loyal to brands. Of course, other issues have also had a significant contribution to this situation, but they are beyond the scope of this article. Religious Organizations Need to Adapt If people have started viewing religion the same way they do their bank or ISP, then religious organizations should adopt the same strategy to attract new “customers” and retain existing ones. It’s easy to say that a religious organization shouldn’t have to engage in marketing campaigns or to think of the “customer” experience. After all, that shouldn’t be the role of a religion. Unfortunately, the problem is that certain organizations – those referred to as megachurches – have already joined the fray. These megachurches engage in massive marketing campaigns, spreading the word through as many tools as they can, from handing out die-cut stickers for people to stick on their cars to setting up websites and putting you videos on YouTube. They’re also very focused on the experience, ensuring that attending church is entertaining, that there’s always something for the kids to do, and so on. In other words, religious organizations have to pick up the ball and adapt, or they will find their numbers will continue to decline steadily. Marketing on a Budget Regardless of how much funding a religious organization has, it can seem wasteful to spend money that could be used to help the less fortunate on marketing. Of course, the argument in favor of doing so is quite simple: by marketing and increasing awareness, religious organizations are actually helping people. But many people aren’t quite as aware of this fact as they used to be, which is why every dollar spent on marketing is worth it. However, that doesn’t mean religious organizations can’t market on a budget. After all, some may not have the funds for a massive campaign using all forms of media. A great option is sticker marketing, no matter the size of the organization. Read on to find out why stickers work so well in any form of marketing, but especially for religion. Stickers Send the Right Message We may be living in a consumerist society, but at the same time, we are evolving. People are more and more interested in giving back to their communities, in working together to build a better world. And, as a result, how socially conscious and responsible a brand is has a significant impact on their decision. A religious organization by its very nature is socially responsible. However, perceptions can easily be swayed and an organization that spends a fortune on marketing via more traditional channels might not be perceived as being quite as socially responsible as they should be. Stickers, on the other hand, are a great way to market because people don’t perceive them as advertising. People are also aware stickers are cost-effective, which makes them even more open to the message you are trying to send. People understand the need to get the word out. However, a 30 second commercial during prime-time that might have cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make will not always send the right message. So, instead of worrying about raising funds to make a snazzy commercial, you’ll find it a lot more effective to print and distribute a variety of stickers with your message. Whether you opt for die-cut stickers, circle stickers, kiss cut stickers and so on, it doesn’t really matter. The perception is that they’re not expensive (they aren’t), ensuring that the target audience is open to the message you’re actually trying to send, rather than becoming hostile and closing off because of what they might consider a waste. Stickers Are Fun Let’s be honest. Life is already pretty tough for most people and the last thing they need is to deal with even more difficulty. It’s why megachurches have gone with the entertainment angle. They’re making it fun for people to attend church. Of course, not every organization can or should take the same approach. Using stickers to market, however, sends a light-hearted message. For most people, stickers are a reminder of their childhoods and happier times. So, by using die-cut stickers or circle stickers, or rectangular stickers or any other stickers you can imagine and incorporating a fun design, people will immediately associate them with fun and happy times, which will definitely prove more of a draw than anything else. Stickers Spread Like Wildfire Precisely because of the connection to happier times, people love displaying stickers on their personal items. And they also love handing them out to friends and family, especially if they feature a great design and/or an inspirational message. In fact, with stickers, you can end up having your ‘prospects’ doing the work for you because once your stickers have made it out into the wild, they will spread like a forest fire. Sticker marketing is a great option for religious organizations because it is cost-effective and also sends the right message. Plus, it really doesn’t hurt that most people associate stickers with happier times, which means they are less likely to pull up every obstacle possible and become hostile towards the organization trying to ‘advertise’ to them, as happens with many other types of channels.
Learn moreSave-The-Date Stickers For Your Event!
Most people have so much going on in their lives nowadays that remembering a date for an event can be problematic. Even with all the reminder tools on smartphones, laptops, and myriad other devices people have, forgetting an important event is not unusual. Electronic reminders might be useful, but, let’s face it, an event like a wedding, anniversary, or baby shower requires a little preparation, so a reminder a few hours before the event is not going to cut it. This is where save-the-date stickers come in. Why Save-the-Date Stickers? Firstly, save-the-date stickers are fun. In fact, all stickers are fun, and when your invitees receive theirs, they’re going to be ecstatic. These stickers will set your event apart, and by doing so, will keep it fresh in the minds of your guests. Of course, since they are save-the-date stickers, they can be displayed in a prominent place, ensuring your invitees don’t forget that all-important event until the last minute. You can opt for small save-the-date stickers that people can put on their calendars. These are definitely a good idea, but you have to consider that not everyone has a printed calendar. Some rely on their devices for their calendar needs, which means that if your sticker is a simple photo without a date, it’ll be useless. On the other hand, you can go with a larger design that can be displayed directly on the fridge or in another prominent place in people’s homes. The design should, of course, include the date. That is the point, after all. These types of stickers will be suitable for everyone, whether they have printed calendars or not. Of course, you could go all out and send out both types of stickers to really make everyone on your guest list happy. And, since people love stickers, the more the merrier. What Type of Stickers to Use? You have a couple of options with save-the-date stickers. You can either go the kiss-cut sticker route or go for die-cut stickers. Sticker sheets won’t really work in this case since you’ll be giving them out to different people. Kiss-cut stickers are the ones that have been lightly cut around their borders, but the cut doesn’t go through the backing. So, your sticker could be shaped like a football, but it will be on rectangular backing for example. These are a good idea if your design has really delicate, lacy edges because they’ll be protected by the backing. Die-cut stickers, on the other hand, have custom shapes according to the design of your sticker. When they are cut around the edges of the sticker, the cut goes through the backing material too. So, a football sticker will be shaped like a football. These are generally more attractive than kiss-cut stickers, which is why many people prefer them. When Save-the-Date Stickers Are an Awesome Idea Save-the-date stickers are fun and act as a great reminder for your guests. Here are a few situations that these stickers are amazing for. We’re Engaged! If you’ve decided to celebrate your engagement with a party and are inviting all your friends and family, you might want to get a little more creative than sending out an e-vite. Yes, an e-vite will make it easier for people to add the party to their calendars, but there’s a good chance your event will get lost among the gazillion other things your guests have in their calendars. So, just to make sure no one forgets, you could also send out save-the-date stickers. You don’t have to go overboard and have invitations printed too. It is an engagement party after all. Printing out a bunch of save-the-date stickers with the date and a cute design won’t set you back an arm and a leg, but it will definitely make sure everyone remembers to attend your engagement party. We’re Getting Married! Obviously, save-the-date stickers are ideal for a wedding. You’ll have to include invitations as well, because that’s tradition, but including save-the-date stickers will ensure no one forgets about the big day. Plus, since they’ll see that sticker practically every day – you will be printing both calendar and larger versions, right? – they’ll have lots of time to come up with and buy an awesome gift. It’ll definitely be better than anything they bought in a rush a few hours before having to turn up because they forgot it was your big day. Just remember when designing the sticker that if you want people to display it prominently (and not just in their calendars), you’re going to need an attractive design. We’re Celebrating Our Anniversary! Anniversary celebrations are another excellent time to send out save-the-date stickers. Again, like with the engagement party, you don’t have to go wild and print invitations too. A cute sticker with a nice design and the date of the party will be more than enough. Just make sure your sticker also includes what the event is. You want people to remember why the date in question is important, right? We’re Having a Baby! Celebrating new life is definitely the perfect time to send out save-the-date stickers. You want your friends and family with you to share in the joy of your family growing, which makes it the perfect time to send out these stickers. And, as with your wedding, it gives people time to get some awesome gifts for the baby. There’s no need to feel bad. Your guests will actually thank you because no one likes buying a gift in a rush, especially when it’s for a baby shower. Save-the-date stickers are perfect for any important event where you need people to remember to attend. Electronic calendars and reminders might be effective, but they’re nowhere near as much fun. So, whether you’re inviting your kids’ friends to a birthday party, are celebrating an engagement, wedding, or anniversary, these stickers are a lovely way to keep your event front and center in the minds of your invitees.
