Whether for business or personal use, custom-shaped stickers continue to grow in popularity. Also known as custom die-cut stickers, the terminology often gets in the way of getting the job done. From package labeling to arts and craft projects, you've probably seen or used a die-cut sticker without knowing it. We're not talking about your boring rectangle or circle-shaped stickers, but rather the custom-shaped ones. From puppy-shaped stickers for a pet store to mug-shaped labels for a coffee shop, die-cut stickers are unique to a brand or person as it is cut specifically for them.
What Are Die Cut Stickers?
Die-cut stickers are stickers cut into a unique shape to fit a logo or piece of artwork. As a slightly outdated term, 'die cut' refers to how these stickers were made using metal dies. Each die was made based on the shape of a design. Because custom dies are expensive and time-consuming to make, manufacturers got smart and offered printers a selection of pre-cut dies in the most commonly requested shapes. If a customer wanted their own custom die sticker in a unique shape, that would come at an additional fee. The general term for these stickers became die-cut stickers, even though all stickers were cut using the pre-cut dies in common shapes.
Fast-forward to today, and through technology development, die-cut stickers are no longer made with dies. Instead, printers use high-speed lasers and other tools to create custom die-cut stickers, including basic shapes. Despite the shift to a more advanced way of making these custom stickers, the term die cut has stuck. Many old-school printers and manufacturers still use it to describe custom stickers. We've acquired the most advanced technology to ensure our customers get the best quality products at Jukebox. Our die-cut stickers, which we call custom-shaped stickers, are made with high-speed lasers that cut through the sticker material and the backing material to create individual custom-shaped stickers.
