Shape Your Brand Image With Kiss Cut Stickers
Wow your clients with unique kiss-cut stickers. This sticker format lets you design any shape, ensuring a smooth, hassle-free peel. Our kiss-cut technology frames the custom-shaped stickers within a larger rectangular backing, making it easier to peel — no need to struggle with lifting edges. This backing can serve as a protective border for sticker shapes with intricate designs, such as cursive text, thin lines, and other small details.
Aside from providing protection, the rectangular border can also be incorporated into the sticker design, creating a professional look that’s ready to use and share. Since these stickers are individually cut, they are ideal for giveaways at events and conventions, branded handouts, or distributing sticker packs. Our kiss-cut sticker printing lets you communicate with your audience without detracting from the overall design.
Perfect for Packs, Giveaways, and Everyday Use
Kiss-cut stickers are a great choice, especially when you’re looking for something quick and easy to use and distribute. Here are the most common ways you can use them:
- Sticker packs for artists, brands, or merch drops

- Handouts with extra space for branding or contact information
- Intricate designs with delicate edges or fine text

Design Tips for Kiss-Cut Stickers
If you don’t have a sticker design ready, here are some tips to make the most out of sticker printing with us.
Choose the right material for your design. Kiss-cut stickers are available in a range of materials to match different needs. Our paper options are suitable for indoor use and offer everything from smooth and vibrant finishes to natural, eco-friendly textures. If you’re looking for more durable materials, choose BOPP. They’re water-resistant and fade-resistant, hold up well against outdoor conditions, and come in styles that give a more premium look.
Get creative with custom shapes. If you’ve always wanted to try unique shapes that stand out, then kiss cut stickers are the perfect format for you to try. The border around your sticker helps protect even the most intricate shapes.
Save your file in CMYK color mode. This color mode allows professional printers to print your design in the exact colors you want. Remember that the RGB color mode is the one used for digital screens, which means files saved in RGB may not yield accurate colors upon printing.
Design in high resolution. Use images with at least 300 dpi. You can get more detail and greater resolution from an image with higher dots per inch. We recommend keeping small text to a minimum of 8 points and thin lines at 0.5 points to avoid problems during printing.

Kiss-Cut Sticker FAQs
Die-cut stickers (or cut-to-size and singles) do not have the extra border around the design. Unlike kiss-cut stickers, die-cuts are sliced through the sticker and paper backing. When you peel the die-cut stickers, you are not left with any stickers but just the backing.
Yes. You can use the backing for contact details, QR codes, branding instructions, or any extension of your design.
Absolutely. The backing helps protect each sticker and makes them easier to stack, pack, and hand out.
Not all kiss-cut stickers are waterproof, as this depends on the type of material you choose. For outdoor-safe and waterproof options, choose any of our BOPP materials.
The size you select will be the entire sticker’s size when printed, including the border. For example, if you want the actual stickers to be size 3” x 3”, we recommend going up a size like 4” x 4”.
