What is the difference between die cut and kiss cut stickers?
Die cut stickers follow the artwork outline and arrive as a single sticker. Kiss cut stickers are cut through the face only and stay on their backing, which makes individual pieces easier to peel.
Which stock should I choose for a clear surface?
Choose clear synthetic film. Clear Stickers offer Digital Print or Foil + Digital Print. The foil finish is less transparent due to laminate, so use Digital Print when maximum transparency is the priority.
Are paper stickers water resistant?
White gloss and white matte stickers are paper and suit dry indoor surfaces. Vinyl Stickers use white matte or clear vinyl with no laminate and carry a one year outdoor guarantee and an expected 3 to 5 year life with proper application.
How should I set up a sticker sheet with multiple designs?
Separately submitted designs normally run on separate sheets unless you arrange a combined layout. One supplied sheet layout may contain multiple kiss cut shapes. Sticker Sheets support white gloss paper, white matte paper, or clear synthetic film.
