What is die cutting?

Die cutting is a print finishing method whereby a sharpened, shaped steel blade, set in a wooden backing block is forced with pressure against a printed sheet.

The pressure exerted on the sheet by the blade cuts through the sheet, resulting in a stamped out finished shape.

Die cutting is particularly popular for custom shaped window stickers and vinyl stickers.

Die cut is not be be confused with ‘kiss cutting’. Kiss cut stickers is when the sticker is custom cut to the required shape but the cutting blade does not cut through the backing paper. This process eliminates the need for a die cutting tool to be produced and hence is more attractive when lower quantities of custom stickers are needed.

 

Can any shape be die cut to shape?

No. the fact that the cutter die is basically a bent and folded steel knife creates restrictions on tight detail, although looser shapes of most descriptions can be created.

 

Can printed vinyl stickers be die cut to shape?

Yes. If the pressure is set to cut completely through the vinyl sticker and it’s backing sheet, the result is a die cut sticker. If the pressure is only set to half, and only the shape of the vinyl sticker is cut out, but the backing paper remains rectangular or square, then the sticker is termed to be kiss cut.

This description comes from the cutting blade only ‘kissing’ the top layer of the sheet, rather than stamping all the way through.

 

Is there a size limit for die cut to shape vinyl stickers and graphics?

No. Once a sticker or graphic becomes oversized for traditional die cutting, other shape cutting processes are available such a router cutting and cad cutting, which are more modern print finishing techniques.

 

Can you reuse a die cutting tool?

Yes. A cutting tool is a physical thing that can be stored for reuse over and over again.

Occasionally the blade will become blunt, and will need to be replaced.

Shape and size –  Stickers can be die cut in any shape or size to suit your designs.
