Stickers Cut to Any Shape You Can Draw
Peel one off the sheet and your logo lands as a clean silhouette, cut to the exact outline of your art instead of a square or a circle, so it reads like finished product rather than a label. Die-cut stickers take any shape you can draw, printed full color from $93.37 for 25, on paper labels or durable vinyl, in 16 sizes from a 2" x 2" shape up to 11" x 11". They come off a New York press that has run online since 1999, rated 4.7 out of 5 across 23 reviews.
People stick them on laptops, water bottles, packaging, storefront windows and bumpers, anywhere a square would leave a visible box around the logo. Comparing it with other stickers? Browse every option on stickers printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
Twenty-five stickers cost $93.37, since a die cut is a custom job, and that small first set is the expensive way to buy them. The ladder has 41 steps, and by 100,000 each sticker is roughly 8 cents. The tiers below give the total at each step.
What Are Die-Cut Stickers
Die-cut stickers are cut to the exact outline of their design instead of a square or circle, printed full color on 6 materials in 16 sizes from a 2" x 2" shape up to 11" x 11". People reach for them when a plain sticker would look unfinished: logo decals, brand stickers for packaging, laptop and bottle stickers, window and bumper graphics, and product seals. Because the cut traces the art itself, the sticker reads as a real object rather than a printed label, so it gets used and kept. If you want the outline picked from a preset silhouette instead of a fully custom cut, the Custom Shaped Stickers cover that, and the die-cut sits right beside it as the version cut to your own artwork.
What Size Should a Die-Cut Sticker Be
Pick the size by the surface. A 2" x 2" die cut is the laptop and water-bottle size, small enough to hand out by the hundred. Step up through the presets toward a 4" x 4" or larger when the design needs room or the sticker has to land on a window or a bumper. The biggest presets run to 11" x 11", and if none of the 16 sizes fit, a custom size is made to order up to that same 11" x 11" limit. Then you set the cut: a basic shape for clean outlines, or a complex cut for designs with fine points and inner curves. All 16 sizes and both cut options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it.
Die Cut or Kiss Cut
Both start from the same printed sheet; the difference is how deep the blade goes.
- Die cut goes through the sticker and the backing together, so each piece comes away as a single loose sticker in the exact outline of your art. Nothing square is left around it.
- Kiss cut cuts only the top layer and leaves the backing whole, so the shaped sticker sits on a square or rectangular backing sheet you peel it from.
Which one you want depends on how the sticker is handed over. For handouts at a booth, a counter bowl or a shipped order, die cut reads as a finished piece and there is no waste sheet to bin. For packaging, sheets and anything applied at speed, kiss cut is easier: the backing gives a thumbnail edge to lift from, the sticker will not curl on itself before it lands, and a run of them can be stacked without tangling.
Either way the file is the same job. Draw the outline you want the blade to follow as its own path, keep it a smooth shape rather than a jagged trace of every pixel, and hold important type back from that line so a small shift in the cut does not clip a letter.
What Materials Can You Print Die-Cut Stickers On
Where the sticker lives decides the material. For indoor labels and packaging, the uncoated, semi-gloss and hi-gloss paper stocks keep costs down and print sharp, and the hi-gloss carries a UV shine that makes color pop. For anything outdoors, on a car, a cooler or a laptop that travels, the white vinyl is the answer: permanent when you want it to stay put, repositionable when you need to peel and move it without leaving residue. Clear vinyl drops the white backing entirely so the art reads as if it were printed straight onto the surface. All 6 print full color on the front, and each one is cut to your shape. If a single material is all you need, the Vinyl Stickers and Clear Stickers each have their own page.
Sticker Materials Compared
Six materials run on this product, and the split that matters is paper against vinyl. Paper labels take ink beautifully and cost less; vinyl survives water, hands and weather.
| Material | Water | Finish | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uncoated paper label | No | Flat matte, takes pen and stamp ink | Jar and box labels you write on, event name tags, indoor packaging seals |
| Semi-gloss paper label | No | Low sheen | Indoor product labels where color should read clean without a mirror shine |
| Hi-gloss paper label | No | High shine | Retail shelf labels and photo-heavy art that needs the color to pop |
| Permanent white vinyl | Yes | Solid white base under the ink | Laptops, bottles, hard hats, toolboxes, anything meant to stay put |
| Repositionable white vinyl | Yes | Solid white base, lifts off cleanly | Window promos and seasonal art you swap out, rental and shared kit |
| Clear vinyl | Yes | Transparent, no-label look | Glass, clear packaging and dark surfaces where you want only the art to show |
One thing to plan for on clear vinyl: there is no white ink behind the art, so whatever the sticker sits on shows through the light areas. If the design has white letters or a pale logo, print it on white vinyl instead, or redraw the light parts in a color that holds against the surface.
Are Die-Cut Stickers Waterproof and Durable
It comes down to the material. The vinyl die-cut stickers are the workhorses: they shrug off water, sun and scuffing, so they hold up on a water bottle or a cooler that lives outside. Choose permanent adhesive for a bond that stays, or repositionable when you want to peel and reset without leaving a mark. The paper label stocks are lighter duty and best kept indoors, on boxes, folders and product packaging. Match the material to the surface and the sticker keeps doing its job for the life of whatever it is stuck to.
How Each Surface Treats a Sticker
- Water bottles and travel mugs: vinyl handles the condensation and the hand washing. Keep the sticker off the lip and out of the dishwasher, where hot jets and detergent work at the adhesive edge far harder than a sink ever does.
- Laptops and phone cases: permanent white or clear vinyl is the pick, since the surface is warm, handled constantly and rubbed by a sleeve. Repositionable vinyl is the one to choose if the machine is company property and the sticker has to come off cleanly later.
- Outdoor equipment, toolboxes and bike frames: vinyl again, applied to a clean dry surface, pressed from the center out so no air is trapped. Sun and rain are what fade a sticker outdoors, so a piece on a shaded panel keeps its color longer than one on a roof box.
- Paper labels anywhere wet: they are not built for it. A splash lifts the fibers and the ink goes with them, so keep uncoated, semi-gloss and hi-gloss paper for indoor jars, boxes and shelf work.

What Die Cut Means on a Sticker
A die-cut sticker is cut through both the face material and the backing along the outline of your artwork, so the finished piece is the shape of the design itself: a logo, a mascot, a lettered word. A kiss-cut sticker is only cut through the face and stays on a square or rectangular backing. 4OVER4 cuts to any outline you draw, from 2" x 2" up to 11" x 11", with a custom size to order inside that limit.
Die Cut, Kiss Cut or Vinyl: Which Sticker to Pick
Vinyl is a material, die cut is a cut, and a die-cut sticker can be paper or vinyl. Paper labels suit indoor packaging and giveaways at the lowest price. Permanent white vinyl holds on laptops, water bottles and car windows through rain and washing. Repositionable vinyl peels off clean for temporary placements. Clear vinyl disappears into the surface so only the art shows. For paper cut to your own outline instead of a sticker, see any shape size paper die-cut printing.

How Big Is a 1 Inch Sticker
A 1 inch sticker measures 1" across at its widest point, which leaves room for a small icon and little else. The smallest die-cut sticker on this page is 2" x 2", twice that width, and it is the usual laptop and water bottle size. If your art needs more room, the 16 sizes climb to 11" x 11", with a custom size to order inside that limit.
Die-Cut Stickers: Frequently Asked Questions
Will the sticker be cut to the exact outline of my logo?
Yes, the die follows the outline of your art rather than a square or a circle, so the sticker takes any shape you can draw. You choose a basic or a complex die under Die Cutting depending on how intricate the outline is. Supply artwork with a clear cut path so the shape is unambiguous.
What is the smallest order of die-cut stickers?
Runs start at 25 stickers from $93.37. The per sticker price slides to roughly 8 cents each as the run climbs toward 100,000. Ordering 25 makes sense for a sample or a small event, while packaging and merchandise runs sit much higher.
Which material should I pick for a water bottle or a laptop?
Six materials are offered: uncoated, semi-gloss and hi-gloss paper labels, permanent and repositionable white vinyl, and clear vinyl. The vinyl options are the durable ones for a bottle, a laptop, or a bumper, while the paper labels suit indoor packaging. Repositionable vinyl is the choice when the sticker may need to move after it is applied.
What is the clear vinyl option for?
Clear vinyl gives a no-label look, so the printed art appears to sit directly on the surface instead of on a visible white patch. It works best on smooth light surfaces where the background shows through cleanly. On dark surfaces the printed colors read very differently, so check the proof.
How large can a die-cut sticker be?
There are 16 sizes, from a 2 inch by 2 inch shape up to 11 inches by 11 inches, plus a custom size made to order up to that same 11 inch by 11 inch limit. The size you pick is the bounding area, and the die cuts your shape inside it. A tall narrow shape uses only part of that area.
How fast can die-cut stickers be produced?
Standard production is 5 business days, with 4 day, 3 day, 2 day and Next-Day rush available. Die-cut stickers are rated 4.7 out of 5 across 23 reviews. Proof approval starts the production clock, so review the file promptly on a tight deadline.
What is die-cut in stickers?
Die-cut means the sticker is cut through the face and the backing along the outline of the artwork, so the finished piece is the shape of the design itself. A kiss-cut sticker is cut through the face only and stays on a square backing.
How can I create my own die-cut stickers?
Upload a print-ready file with your outline, or use the online designer on this page to place the art and let the cut line follow it. Every order gets a proof, so you see the cut path before it goes to press.
