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.
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.

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.
