What Is A Die Cut Sticker?
A die cut sticker is a sticker where the blades have cut through the vinyl along with the paper backing. The result of this process is a sticker with backing that is the same shape as the sticker itself. This is clearly evident with the unicorn sticker above; you will notice the backing and the sticker are in the same shape. The advantages of using die cut stickers are a clean presentation, or more professional aesthetic and ease of application.
In essence, custom die cut stickers can be designed to fit any shape you desire. Since the backing is also cut to fit that same shape, these products make great marketing tools for businesses along with personal use.

Can I Order My Die Cut Stickers In Different Finishes?
YES! Stickerbeat offers a choice of creating your custom die cut sticker in either a glossy or matte finish. Both finishes will hold color beautifully, feature the same 3M graphic vinyl and are UV resistance. And, both can be used indoors or outdoors. Deciding which finish is just according to your personal taste.
Glossy: A glossy finish is super shiny which will help make your sticker standout. Special event stickers and retail specials would benefit from a glossy finish thanks to a high gloss shine. You get a lot of color contrast due to the shine, so colors really pop. Glossy die cut stickers and decals have a decidedly modern feel with a lot of energy. If your sticker or decal has a lot of colors in it, go for glossy.
Matte: A matte finish has a soft satin appearance with a very low sheen. It’s ideal for stickers that have a photo image or a lot of detail. This finish provides low glare, so stickers blend in well to any surface it is adhered to. If you prefer a more subtle and muted look or your artwork has few colors—this finish would be a good choice. Matte finishes give an almost vintage feel to your decals thanks to its more eggshell toned coating.
