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.
These stickers earn their keep on laptops, water bottles, packaging, storefront windows and bumpers, wherever a shaped decal beats a plain square. Want to see how they sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on stickers printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.
The price rewards a bigger run in a big way. A set of 25 starts at $93.37, since a die cut is a custom job, but the per-sticker cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, all the way to roughly 8 cents each at 100,000.

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 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?
The right size comes down to where the sticker goes and how much art it carries. 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.
How Much Do Die-Cut Stickers Cost?
Die-cut stickers start at $93.37 for 25, about $3.73 each, since a die cut is custom work on a small run. The per-sticker price keeps dropping as the quantity climbs toward 100,000, so a cheap die-cut sticker really comes down to how big a run you order. A 700 run is $170.25, roughly 24 cents apiece, a 6,000 run is $641.45, about 11 cents each, and at 100,000 the run is $7,588.90, close to 8 cents a sticker. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the total and the true per-sticker cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.
