What are Kiss Cut Stickers?
Kiss Cut Stickers are stickers where only the top sticker layer is cut, while the backing stays intact. They’re finished on rolls, which makes them easy to peel, handle, and apply. The extra space around each design helps protect intricate shapes and makes these stickers ideal for promotions, giveaways, and quick, efficient application.

What's the Difference Between Custom Kiss Cut Stickers and Custom Die Cut Stickers?
Kiss Cut Stickers are cut only through the sticker layer and finished on rolls, allowing for smaller sizes down to 0.5” × 0.5” and easier peeling for bulk use.
Die Cut Stickers are individual stickers cut all the way through the backing with a split (crack-and-peel) backing and have a minimum size of 1” × 1”.
What size should my sticker be?
StickerGiant offers custom sticker sizes from 0.5" × 0.5" 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.
