What are Die Cut Stickers?
Die Cut Stickers are individual, custom-shaped stickers cut to the exact outline of your artwork. Each sticker is cut through both the material and backing, so you receive standalone stickers with no extra border.

What’s the difference between Die Cut Stickers and Kiss Cut Stickers?
Die Cut Stickers are individual stickers cut all the way through the backing with a split backing (crack-and-peel) and have a minimum size of 1” × 1”, making them ideal for standalone use.
Kiss Cut Stickers are cut only through the sticker layer, finished on rolls, and can be printed as small as 0.5” × 0.5”, which works well for bulk use and easy peeling.

What size should my sticker be?
StickerGiant offers custom sticker sizes from 1" × 1" up to 11" × 14", so the best size depends on where you’ll use it.
If you’re unsure, cut a piece of paper to size and place it where the sticker will go. You’ll always receive a proof before printing.

Are Die Cut Stickers water resistant?
Yes. Die Cut Stickers are water resistant and also resist UV, oil, and scratches. They perform well in rain, snow, and brief water exposure, but are not designed for long-term submersion.

Are Die Cut Stickers dishwasher safe?
Die Cut Stickers are water resistant and durable, but not dishwasher safe. Repeated dishwasher cycles can affect the laminate over time. For best results, we recommend hand washing.

Yes. Most orders print in 2–5 business days after proof approval. If you need your stickers sooner, Rush Printing is available on most products and prints within 1 business day after proof approval.
Rush Printing affects production time only. Shipping speed is selected separately at checkout, and availability depends on production capacity.
