Q: What is a kiss-cut sticker?
A: A kiss-cut sticker is a type of custom sticker that's cut to a specific shape, leaving a paper backing that holds the design in place. Unlike die-cut stickers, which are cut all the way through the backing material, kiss-cut stickers are only cut through the vinyl layer. This means that the paper backing stays intact, making it easier to peel and apply the sticker.
If you're looking to create sticker collections, your best choice will be kiss-cut sticker sheets. That way, you can add several stickers on one sheet, customize the backing, and even add your logo as one of the stickers for additional branding.
