Custom Die Cut Labels
Important Artwork Notice!
Standard Any Shape Label File Guidelines: All orders must include your CMYK file and the any shape diecut file. The Any Shape File must be created as vector and saved as either an EPS or PDF. Besides your CMYK file, your uploaded custom shape file must represent the cut line. The custom Any Shape File must be only in 100% black at either .5pt or 1pt thick. Bleed must be 0.125" from the cut line on all sides. Choose the size that best fits your needs and upload the Front CMYK file as well as the Cut Shape File.
How to Pick the Right Size for Your Label : Simply measure your design from edge to edge, from left to right and up and down .Let's assume your label measures 2.75" X 3.5" at its widest point. Since that size is not listed in the drop down window of standard sizes, simply select "Custom Size" and enter your dimensions. That's it!

Cut the Label to Fit the Brand, Not the Box
A round jar seal, a shield badge, or a mascot silhouette lands cleaner when the label is trimmed to follow your artwork instead of sitting inside a plain rectangle. That is what a die-cut label does: it is cut to the exact outline you want, with no dead space around the shape, so the outline itself does part of the branding before anyone reads a word. Die-cut labels start at $93.37 for a set of 25 and hold a perfect 5 out of 5, printed in-house since 1999.
These labels are built for products, not scrap paper. They print full color on the front, they stick where you need them, and the custom cut makes even a small label read as a finished mark of quality. Want to see how die-cut labels sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on labels printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $93.37, roughly $3.73 a label, and the per-label cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full production run for a launch costs far less per label than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.
What Are Die-Cut Labels?
Die-cut labels are custom-shape adhesive labels cut to a specific outline rather than a plain rectangle, printed full color on the front in 16 sizes from 2" x 2" up to 11" x 11", on any of 6 materials. People reach for them when a square sticker would feel generic: product and packaging labels, jar and bottle seals, logo badges, warning and instruction labels, and laptop or gear decals. Because the cut hugs the design, the label looks stamped on rather than stuck on. If you want the familiar rectangle instead, the Custom Labels cover that, and the die-cut version sits right beside it as the one shaped to your art.
What Size and Shape Should a Die-Cut Label Be?
Size and shape are two separate choices here, and both matter. On size, you get 16 stock options that step from a small 2" x 2" seal all the way up to an 11" x 11" panel, plus a custom size if none of the presets fit, up to 11" x 11". On shape, you pick from four cut styles: straight corners for a crisp square, 1/8" rounded corners for a softer edge that resists peeling, or a basic custom shape when the outline should track your artwork. Every label ships kiss-cut on sheets, so each one peels off cleanly while the backing stays put. All the sizes and cut options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For pre-cut rolls off a liner, the Shaped Roll Labels run the same idea on a reel.
Here are a few easy ways to make a die-cut label pull its weight.
Match the material to where it lives
The material sets the whole feel and durability of the label. Uncoated reads natural and takes a pen, Semi-Gloss lifts color cleanly, and Hi-Gloss UV makes a photo or logo pop with a wet-look shine. When the label needs to survive moisture and handling, move to film: White Vinyl Permanent locks down for good, White Vinyl Repositionable lifts and reapplies without tearing, and Clear Label Permanent disappears into glass for that no-label look. For a shimmering metallic face on a product label, the Metallic Labels carry that finish across a whole order.
Let the shape carry the design
A die-cut label is basically a frame you get to draw. Cut it to your logo outline, a badge, or a rounded seal, and the edge itself signals care that a plain rectangle never will. Keep the important art inside the safe margin so the cut never clips it, and the finished label looks deliberate from across a shelf. When you want the same custom cut as a peel-and-stick you hand out rather than a product seal, the Die-Cut Stickers are built around exactly that.
Design it without a designer
You do not need a design background to make a die-cut label look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. Set your cut line, drop your art inside the safe area, and you are ready to upload.
How Much Do Die-Cut Labels Cost?
Die-cut labels start at $93.37 per set of 25, about $3.73 a label, and the per-label price keeps dropping across 41 quantity tiers toward 100,000. A run of 700 labels is $170.25, 6,000 run $641.45, and a full 100,000 land at $7,588.90, or roughly 7 and a half cents each, so a cheap die-cut label really comes down to how big a run you order. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-label cost update live, then find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
Wally cuts the label to fit the brand, not the box
Why a shape that follows your logo gets noticed on the shelf.
Wally starts a run of die-cut labels at $93.37 for 25, then watches the per-label price fall to under 8 cents by 100,000. Pick a material, from Hi-Gloss UV paper to water-resistant vinyl and clear film, set a size up to 11 by 11 inch, and choose how it is cut. Wally gets them printed and kiss-cut on sheets, ready to peel.
Do Die-Cut Labels Print on Both Sides?
Die-cut labels print full color on the front, with the back left blank for the adhesive. That is the standard build for a label that sticks to a product or a package, where only the face is ever seen. It keeps the file simple and the cost down, and it means your color, logo and cut line all live on one clean side. If you need a shape that peels and sticks for casual, hand-out use instead of a product seal, the Die-Cut Stickers share the same custom-cut idea in a peel-and-stick form.
How Do Die-Cut Labels Compare to the Rest of the Range?
Die-cut labels are the pick when the shape itself should stand out, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a plain rectangle, a roll off a liner or a see-through clear stock, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up die-cut labels against their closest siblings, like Standard Labels and Clear Labels, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Die-Cut Labels?
Die-cut labels print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day or even Next-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before anything prints you can take a free online proof to check the cut line and the color, or send the file straight to production if you are confident in it.
