Die cut stickers are made from vinyl and can be cut into any shape with a machine. They are durable, weather-resistant, and versatile, making them ideal for outdoor advertising, giveaways, and kids’ collections. The creation process involves designing, printing, screen printing, and die-cutting.
A die cut sticker is usually made from vinyl and coated with polyester to make it durable. As the name suggests, this type of sticker can be cut into any shape with a die cut sticker machine. Outdoor advertising, decals, signage and die cut labels are some die cut stickers.
Vinyl stickers are durable and waterproof, making them a good choice for outdoor use. They are usually printed with a polyester layer which makes the text and designs on the stickers weather resistant. The stickers are also particularly useful at night when printed on reflective paper. The adhesive applied to the back of the sticker is also normally of high quality. As a result, the stickers can be used both outdoors and indoors.
Die-cut stickers are versatile and easily customizable. Many companies put their logo on a die-cut sticker for use as outdoor advertising. The stickers are also relatively inexpensive, making them ideal for giveaways.
The creative designs and variety of uses make the die cut stickers a favorite with kids. It’s common for kids to start a limited edition sticker collection of their favorite shows or characters. Additionally, die-cut window stickers are commonly seen in car windows or on other motor vehicles, showing team or brand loyalty.
There are three main processes in creating a die cut sticker. The first is creating the sticker design. An artist usually designs the custom die-cut design with graphics software that makes editing easier.
The next step is printing. Before being printed, the design is duplicated several times on one sheet. This is done to use as much space on the sticker paper as possible. The final format is then converted into a stencil which is used as a negative for screen printing. A separate screen printing is made for each color. The screens are then mounted on the press.
A die cutting tool is prepared to cut the shape of the sticker. Unless the design calls for a unique shape, the mold tool is usually circular or rectangular in shape. The eraser is then placed on the bottom of the die-cutting tool to prevent the sticky paper from getting stuck. The die-cut tool is then placed on the die-cut sticker machine which cuts the stickers into individual pieces.
