Kiss Cut vs Die Cut Stickers: What's the Difference & Which Should You Choose?

Stickers may look simple, but the cutting method changes how they look, feel and peel. This guide explains the difference between kiss cut and die cut stickers, common materials, and how to choose the best option for your project - all printed in Singapore by The One Inkjet.

What Is a Kiss Cut Sticker?

A kiss cut goes through the sticker layer but not the backing paper. Your design peels off easily while the surrounding sheet remains intact - great for protection and extra branding.

Best for: sticker sheets, intricate logos, labels with small text, and quick-peel giveaways.

If you plan multiple small designs on one page, see our custom sticker printing and kiss cut options.

What Is a Die Cut Sticker?

A die cut follows the exact outline of your artwork and cuts through both the sticker and the backing. You get a clean, standalone piece that matches your logo's silhouette.

Best for: bold logo handouts, packaging inserts, and brand merch. Explore die cut stickers and custom shapes.

Sticker Materials We Print

Vinyl (Waterproof)

Durable and weather‑resistant; ideal for outdoor or long‑term use. Choose gloss or matte vinyl, or transparent vinyl. Add a laminate for extra UV/scratch protection.

Paper Labels

Eco‑friendly and cost‑effective for indoor applications. Popular for F&B labels and cosmetic labels. See paper stickers.

Specialty Films

Make it pop with holographic backgrounds. Great for premium packaging and lifestyle brands.

Pre‑print Checklist (Save This!)

  • Add 3 mm bleed and keep key text 3-5 mm inside the cut line.
  • Use vector paths for clean outlines; expand strokes before export.
  • Pick your finish: gloss for punchy colours, matte for low‑glare.
  • Environment: vinyl for outdoor/wet areas; paper for dry indoor use.
  • Need many small designs? Choose kiss cut sheets. Want impact pieces? Choose die cut.

So… Which Should You Choose?

Pick Kiss Cut for easy‑peel labels and multi‑design sheets. Pick Die Cut for bold standalone logos and giveaways. Both are printed using the same high‑quality process at The One Inkjet.
