What are die-cut stickers
Die cut stickers are products that are cut into specific shapes, made through a process called die cutting, which involves cutting adhesive paper into precise shapes using a special machine.
In other words, these are custom stickers cut into specific shapes such as logos, icons or letters and words.
These stickers can be used for a wide range of purposes such as masking, protection, decoration, labeling, branding, advertising and more.
They can be made of various materials such as adhesive paper, vinyl, PVC and other similar materials and customized with different colors, designs and shapes to meet customers’ needs.
Die-cut adhesives are versatile and suitable for a variety of commercial situations; they are also used for precision masking in professional painting, staining, and powder and liquid coating operations.
What die cutting looks like
Die-cutting is a cutting process that finds many uses, especially used for making door guards, scratch guards, packaging, creating file folders, brochures, etc.
Die-cutting can be done through the use of cutting plotters, which are connected to graphic computers.
These tools allow you to precisely manage your projects, ensuring high-quality results. Thanks to advanced technology, large die-cuts can be obtained, which are ideal for cutting stickers of particular sizes or for making visually striking designs.
Other traditional die cutting methods use what is known as a die cutter, a tool usually made of steel that is bent to take a certain shape consisting of a cutting blade. The die can be of three types:
– flat die also known as the American die is the most commonly used in typography for paper cutting, a steel band with cutting edge is mounted on a wooden top.
– rotary die is similar to the flat die, but differs in that the cutting edges are attached to a wooden cylinder. The advantage of this is that it can process larger volumes more quickly.
– forged die is made of steel and allows the cutting of thicker thicknesses.
