You can have your stickers cut into square, rectangular, round, or a custom shape of your choice.
When reviewing your artwork with us, be sure to let us know what shape you’d like them.
Die-cut stickers is where the sticker and the backing are cut to the desired shape.
Kiss-cut stickers is when the sticker design is cut in the desired shape but the backing remains in (typically) a square shape. This style helps when there are delicate pieces of the design that could tear if the backing was cut to the exact shape.
