Die-Cut vs Kiss-Cut

What is the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers?

What is a Die-Cut sticker? 

Die-cut means that we are cutting through both the vinyl sticker material and the paper backing. This cut type doesn't give you a border or edge. Another way to look at it is to think of it like a "cookie cutter." Your stickers are all individually cut out to the contour of your design, so you have individually cut stickers with no border.

What is a Kiss-Cut sticker?

Kiss-cut means we are only cutting through the vinyl layer ("sticker material") and not cutting through the paper backing, leaving an edge or border around your sticker. When you choose a kiss-cut sticker, you will have extra material around your sticker for easy peeling.
