What Is The Difference Between Kiss Cut Stickers and Die Cut Stickers?
What Is The Difference Between Kiss Cut Stickers and Die Cut Stickers? Appearances can be deceiving when it comes to sticker types. Die Cut Stickers Explained Stickerbeat custom die cut stickers give you the opportunity and wherewithal to create any image you want, with no limitations. We put no limits on what shape, size or color your custom die cut sticker is. With a die cut sticker, our cutting machinery cuts right through the vinyl and the backing material fully to the exact shape of your sticker, so what you see is what you get when you peel it off. The backing paper comes in two parts to make it easy to crack and peel to separate. If you have a lot of stickers to apply, we do offer die cut stickers on a roll that makes them easier to quickly do that. Stickerbeat die cut stickers save time and cut down on residual paper waste as well. How A Kiss Cut Sticker Is Different Customized kiss cut stickers have all the same features and functionality of our custom die cut stickers with one major difference. When removing it from the backing material, a kiss cut sticker is not fully cut through the backing paper. It cuts only through the vinyl of your kiss cut sticker itself – hence the light touch or “kiss” naming device. The kiss cut production process leaves the backing paper around your sticker, so it’s a little easier to peel off than a traditional die cut sticker. To achieve this, our exclusive cutting blades are laser-guided and can precisely cut your custom kiss cut sticker right up to the very edge of your design with ease. What Are The Best Applications For Each Sticker Type? At the end of the day, kiss cut stickers are easier to handle and apply, while die cut stickers can have more intricate shapes and designs, giving users a clean, precise look. Stickerbeat custom die cut stickers are stickers that are processed into a specific shape using a die cutting machine. They are best for creating stickers with a unique and custom shape that lend themselves well to the message they are designed to communicate. Often used for branding and marketing purposes, custom die cut stickers create a professional and cohesive look for a company, event, campaign, or product. Die cut stickers can also be used for personalization of many items, such on laptop computers to convey ownership and your point of view, water bottles, and other personal belongings where your identity is an important message to communicate. For widespread distribution, kiss cut stickers are a great choice for stickers that need to be easily peeled off and applied, such as stickers that will be placed on smooth surfaces or handed out to a large number of people. If you are going to be labeling lots of products, kiss cut stickers will make that process go by faster and will be much more efficient. Due to their longevity and resiliency, custom kiss cut stickers are a wise choice for stickers that will be stored for a long time, as the backing paper helps to protect the stickers from damage.

Waterproof Stickers: Get Them Wet, Know They’ll Stay Stuck
Waterproof stickers go wherever you want them to and stay stuck no matter the environment. With so many places to include stickers that might encounter water—cups, helmets, canoes, coolers, signs, and more. When you need stickers that are durable and reliable, waterproof stickers from Stickerbeat are the best choice. What Makes Our Stickers Waterproof? The production process and materials we use ensure stickers are waterproof, not just water-resistant. There’s a big difference between the two. Waterproof means the stickers can endure everything from a cycle through the dishwasher to submerging in a river. We use a special waterproof vinyl that’s from .4-mil. 3M that includes a protective laminated layer. This keeps the sticker safe from moisture and prevents fading from the sun and scratching. The adhesive is waterproof, as well. That’s why they won’t fall off when they come into contact with water. The adhesive has a five-year life expectancy. They peel right off from the backer to ensure a smooth installation. The ink we use in printing is from a collaboration between Epson and 3M, so the vibrant colors in your stickers won’t lose their hues from water either. In addition, both the ink and the protective layer provide UV resistance. So, where can you use waterproof stickers? The possibilities are endless. Stick a Waterproof Sticker on That! You can probably think of 100 different places to stick a waterproof sticker. Now that you know how tough they are, here are some ideas: Cups of any size or material: Personalize these as gifts or put your company logo on them for customer and employee giveaways. Remember, they’re dishwasher safe. Outdoor gear: Adhere stickers to any type of equipment you need for outdoor sports to show off your personality—surfboards, skis, snowmobiles, kayaks, bike helmets, boats, etc. Exterior signage: Need to update a sign? No need to reprint them all. Just add a sticker to update them. These are just a few ideas, but wherever there’s a surface, a sticker will stay stuck. What Kind of Stickers Can Be Waterproof? All stickers we provide in the different shapes and sizes are waterproof. You don’t have to pay up charges because every label uses the same material described above. You have your choice of : Custom die cut stickers: These stickers can have any shape, depending on your art. With precision production and cutting, every sticker is high-quality. Kiss cut stickers: This option is cut perfectly out of the border they sit inside of using a special blade. No matter how detailed or ornate, these stickers are cut accurately every time. Holographic stickers: Choose these iridescent, shiny vinyl stickers with a rainbow effect to add something unique to stickers.

What is the Difference Between Kiss Cut Stickers and Sticker Sheets?
You may be wondering: “Is a kiss cut sticker or a sticker sheet best for me?” Truly, you can’t go wrong with either one, but there certainly are applications when one might be a better option over the other. Let’s explore what’s available at Stickerbeat ... Benefits of Kiss Cut Stickers Individual kiss cut stickers can be practically ANY shape you can dream up. It doesn’t matter if its extremely ornate with frilly details—our laser guided blades can cut your custom kiss cut sticker no matter how intricate you make it. Individual kiss cut stickers sit on top of your backing paper without a border around them, so they are really easy to peel. They provide a nifty alternative to die cut stickers in that your artwork can be cut right up to the very edge with no border. You can get your kiss cut stickers individually or on rolls. Kiss cut stickers typically come on a square or rectangle backer paper and are not cut into the shape of your sticker. This is what makes them easy peel and protects the edges of your sticker from damage. This also makes them easy to hand out quickly at events. Benefits of Sticker Sheets Imagine 10 different designs on one 8.5” x 11” page! That’s the beauty of a sticker sheet! Custom sticker sheets are cool because they give you the option to feature one single sticker design on a sheet; OR you can have up to 10 different ones on a page for variety. Sticker sheets showcase your stickers nestled within your vinyl sheet so they can just be plucked out. If you are ordering small quantities of stickers, sticker sheets offer you a budget way of doing it. Uses for Kiss Cut Stickers Individual kiss cut stickers are sweet when you want to wow customers with your presentation as they appear expensive (but they really aren’t!). You can hand out each one with ease and they can be any size you choose. If you are handing out stickers at events, single kiss cut stickers make a statement. They promote your brand in an exciting way, and make perfect logo stickers or car bumper stickers. You can give them away to customers and they can be put on laptops, water bottles and coolers. If you want to spread your brand to the masses, separate kiss cut stickers get the job done effectively. Uses for Sticker Sheets Sticker sheets are great when you are trying to showcase your stickers for sale or promote your artwork in one cohesive presentation. Since you can get many images on one page, it’s a gorgeous way to organize stickers in a unified manner. If you are dressing up a booth for promotional purposes, sticker sheets give you the ability to stick your stickers quickly and with ease. Address labels are ideal on a sticker sheet, or if you have a small number of products you want to label. Deciding between a die cut sticker and kiss cut sticker can seem tricky, but really it comes down to delivery and what your application is. Whether you need a single kiss cut sticker on a page or you need multiple stickers on a sticker sheet is really the same thought process. Consider the use of your sticker and then find the least expensive solution that makes the most sense. Either way, Stickerbeat will get your fantastic kiss cut stickers printed and delivered to you within 3 days with FREE SHIPPING!
