Production & Materials
What is die cut vs kiss cut?
What is die cut vs kiss cut?
While kiss cut and die cut stickers may appear similar, they have key differences in their design and backing.
Die Cut Stickers: These stickers are cut to the exact shape of the design, meaning both the sticker and its backing are cut through completely. This results in a sticker that has no extra border and is shaped precisely like the artwork. Die cut stickers can also include a peel-here tab, making them easy to apply, similar to kiss cut stickers.
Kiss Cut Stickers: In contrast, kiss cut stickers have a backing that remains intact, with only the sticker layer being cut. This typically leaves a square or rectangular border around the design.
Both types can be cut into any shape using the same artwork, and once applied to a surface, they look identical.
What is the difference between a sticker and a decal?
What is the difference between a sticker and a decal?
Stickers are typically small, easy to apply and remove, and are often used on personal items like laptops, notebooks, and water bottles.
Decals, however, are a type of sticker designed for larger-scale applications and are often more durable. They are commonly used for decoration or advertising on surfaces like walls, windows, floors, and vehicles.
What is the difference between matte and gloss?
What is the difference between matte and gloss?
Matte and gloss refer to the finish of the sticker, affecting its appearance and texture:
Matte Stickers
- Have a smooth, non-shiny finish.
- Reduce glare and fingerprints.
- Easier to write on with pens or markers.
- Ideal for minimalist or vintage-style designs.
Gloss Stickers
- Have a shiny, reflective surface.
- Make colors appear more vibrant and saturated.
- Can be harder to write on.
- Great for eye-catching, colorful designs.
If you want something sleek and modern, go for matte. If you prefer bold, high-contrast designs, choose gloss.

What is the difference between a 20pt and 30pt magnet?

Our 20pt magnets can be customized in any shape you desire and are suitable for use on refrigerators, filing cabinets, mirrors, and more. Our 30pt magnets are also custom-made in any shape you choose and are designed for outdoor use, including on vehicles.

Glitter Stickers are printed on an iridescent, shiny vinyl that gives a rainbow sparkle effect. Stickerbeat recommends GLOSS lamination to maximize glitter appearance. Matte lamination can diminish the appearance of glitter but is recommended for detailed artwork that requires high legibility, such as fine lines, logos or text.
Holographic Stickers are printed on an iridescent, shiny vinyl that gives a rainbow-like effect. Stickerbeat recommends GLOSS lamination to maximize holographic appearance. Matte lamination can diminish the holographic appearance and rainbow effect.

Food & Beverage: perfect for bottles, jars, and containers due to moisture and oil resistance.
Personal Care: common in shampoos, lotions, soaps, and lip balms for their durability.

How many stickers will fit on a sticker sheet?
How many stickers will fit on a sticker sheet?
The number of stickers on a sheet depends on both the sticker and sheet sizes.
Our smallest sheet is 3"x3", which typically holds up to 4 stickers (depending on their size).
A 4"x6" sheet can hold around 5-7 stickers.
An 8.5"x11" sheet can hold around 10-13 stickers.
When ordering a sticker sheet, simply upload your design(s), and we'll arrange them for you.
How much bleed should I include in my sticker design?
How much bleed should I include in my sticker design?
We recommend adding a 1/8" (0.125 inch) bleed to all sticker designs.
A bleed is the extra area of color or artwork that extends beyond the final cut line of your sticker. This ensures that when your stickers are cut, there are no unwanted white edges or gaps – even if there’s minor movement during cutting.
For example, if your finished sticker size is 3" × 3", your artwork file should measure 3.25" × 3.25". This provides a 1/8" bleed on all sides.
How much space is required between each sticker on a sticker sheet?
How much space is required between each sticker on a sticker sheet?
We require 0.25 inches from all sides of the sticker sheet and 0.15 inches of space between each sticker.
