What Are Die-Cut Stickers?
Die-cut stickers are contour-cut stickers that have been trimmed to the exact outline of your design. Instead of a standard shape, the cutting process follows the edges of your artwork. Imagine your logo shaped like a coffee cup, your character illustration with every detail cut out, and you get the idea.
This precision requires custom laser-cutting technology and works with all our materials.
The result? A sticker that looks as unique as your brand or artwork.
Die-cut stickers are one of our most popular products. Not only are they fully customizable and unique, but they’re also waterproof, scratch-resistant, and long-lasting. In other words, slapable indoors, outdoors, or anywhere your audience is likely to see them.

Why Die-Cut Stickers Stand Out
With contoured cuts, you’re not limited to a plain circle or square. Die-cut stickers can be any shape you dream up, which makes them incredibly versatile for different projects:
-
For digital artists, illustrators, and graphic designers: Turn your characters, illustrations, or designs into tangible products you can sell or use as freebies.
-
For businesses: Create logo stickers that double as giveaways, packaging add-ons, or marketing swag.
-
For personal use: Decorate your water bottle, phone case, or journal with stickers that match your personality.
Design Tips for Die-Cut Stickers
-
Be background wary: A transparent background is crucial for our system to figure out where your design ends and how to create the cutlines - especially if the design has white or light pastel elements. If your design is bold and dark, a white background will also work.
-
Custom cutlines: If you want your sticker without borders (the white or material-colored overflowing part), create your own custom cutline and make sure to include a 2 mm bleed.
-
Details vs. size: Thin lines and tiny elements can get lost in a small-sized sticker. If you have a detailed design, opt for a bigger sticker for maximum Oomph!
-
Enhance your sticker with material effects: Don’t get us wrong: we love our OG multi-purpose vinyl material. But, if you’re looking to elevate your sticker game, choose one of our special materials and place the effects on specific parts of the design.
Creative Ways to Use Die-Cut Stickers
The beauty of custom die-cut stickers is that they serve many purposes. Here are a few smashing ideas:
-
Branding: Add logo stickers to shipping boxes, shopping bags, or product packaging. Customers will love the “little extra.”
-
Events: Hand them out at trade shows, festivals, or conferences. They’re lightweight, handy, and memorable.
-
Merchandise: Artists and creators can sell individual stickers and sticker packs online or at pop-up markets. Fans love collecting them.
-
Community building: Use stickers as rewards in giveaways or loyalty programs. People stick them on laptops, skateboards, and water bottles, spreading your message everywhere they go.
Size and shape variations
The key benefit of die-cut stickers is the ability to customize their size and shape. Whether you prefer a small sticker for subtle branding or a large sticker for maximum impact, the choice is yours.
Size options range from 1 x 1 inch (2,5 x 2,5 cm) to a whopping 47 x 47 inches (120 x 120 cm) when choosing our vinyl material.
You also have the opportunity to have cutouts in your design, if you're looking to cut out a certain part of the design.
Shape options are virtually limitless: square, round, oval, or the intricate contours that follow the outline of your design.
Works with all our materials
Die-cut stickers are available on all our materials: from high-quality vinyl material to holographic, Kraft paper, and Glow-in-the-Dark.
To top it off, our die-cut stickers are designed to withstand various weather conditions and elements. The vinyl material used for our stickers - whether it be white, transparent, holographic, or metallic, is water and weatherproof, ensuring that your designs won't smudge or fade when exposed to rain or moisture.
Additionally, by choosing glossy or cracked ice laminate for your stickers, they are also UV-proof, which means they won't lose their vibrant colors even when exposed to the sun's rays for extended periods
Die-cut stickers for branding and storytelling

Die-cut stickers can also be distributed at trade shows, events, or as part of promotional campaigns to increase brand visibility and engage with your target audience.
Whether you're an artist looking to showcase your work or an individual who wants to add a personal touch to everyday items, stickers provide endless possibilities.
