Die Cut Stickers
Die cut stickers are cut all the way through both the printed vinyl and the backing paper, creating individual stickers in the shape of your design. They are ideal for logos, product packaging, promotional giveaways, events, brand stickers and custom labels where you want a clean, professional finish.
What are die cut stickers?
Die cut stickers are custom stickers cut to the outside shape of your design. Instead of being supplied as a standard square, circle or rectangle, the sticker follows the outline of your logo, illustration, product label or chosen shape.
This makes them a great option when you want your stickers to look more distinctive and professional. Whether you need shaped logo stickers, packaging stickers, promotional stickers or stickers for an event, Printmonster can help you create a finish that suits your brand and your intended use.
Printmonster produces custom stickers for local businesses, tradespeople, shops, schools, clubs, events and organisations across Cannock and the wider West Midlands. Die cut stickers are part of the Printmonster sticker and label range, which also includes vinyl stickers, kiss cut stickers, clear stickers, roll labels, product labels, waterproof labels and paper labels.
Custom shaped stickers for business use
A die cut sticker can make a simple design feel more considered. Because the sticker is shaped around the artwork, it removes unnecessary background space and helps the design stand out.
For example, a café may use shaped logo stickers on takeaway packaging. A tradesperson may use die cut stickers for toolboxes, folders, customer packs or promotional giveaways. A product based business may use them to add branding to jars, boxes, bags, bottles or envelopes.
They are also useful when you want stickers that people are more likely to keep. A well designed shaped sticker can work as a small promotional item, especially when the design is bold, clear and easy to recognise.
Die cut stickers for packaging and promotions
Packaging is one of the most popular uses for die cut stickers. They can help plain packaging look branded, finished and more professional without needing every box, bag or container to be custom printed.
This can be especially useful for small businesses, food businesses, makers, beauty brands, local retailers and start ups. A shaped sticker can turn simple packaging into something that feels more personal and memorable.
Die cut stickers are also useful for promotions. They can be handed out at events, added to customer orders, included in welcome packs or used as part of a local campaign. For businesses across Cannock, Walsall, Lichfield, Rugeley, Stafford, Wolverhampton, Birmingham and nearby areas, they offer a practical way to keep your branding visible. Printmonster serves the wider West Midlands conurbation, with nearby towns including Cannock, Hednesford, Rugeley, Burntwood, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Lichfield, Stafford, Birmingham, Dudley, West Bromwich and Sutton Coldfield.
Popular uses for die cut stickers
Die cut stickers are versatile and can be used in many different ways. Common uses include:
Logo stickers for packaging
Product branding stickers
Promotional giveaway stickers
Event stickers
Laptop and equipment stickers
Window and counter stickers
Retail packaging seals
Club, school and charity stickers
Trade and service business stickers
Instructional or information stickers
Because every project is different, it is worth thinking about where the sticker will be used before choosing the material and finish. Stickers used indoors on packaging may need a different approach from stickers used on equipment, windows or items that may be handled regularly.
Artwork guidance for die cut sticker printing
Good artwork helps create a better finished sticker. For die cut stickers, the shape of the cut is especially important. If your sticker needs to follow the outline of a logo or design, the cut line should be clear, smooth and suitable for production.
When sending artwork, try to supply a high quality PDF, vector file or suitable print ready artwork where possible. If you are unsure whether your file is suitable, Printmonster can take a look and advise. It is also helpful to include the size you need, the quantity required and where the stickers will be used.
If your design includes very fine details, sharp corners or thin sections, the team may suggest a small adjustment to help the sticker cut and peel more cleanly. This is not about changing your design unnecessarily. It is about making sure the sticker works well as a physical printed product.
For more general sticker options, customers can also look at the main stickers and labels page, vinyl stickers, kiss cut stickers, clear stickers, waterproof stickers, product labels and roll labels.

Die Cut Stickers FAQ
What is a die cut sticker?
A die cut sticker is cut to the outside shape of your design. This means it can follow the outline of your logo, illustration, label shape or custom design rather than being supplied as a standard square or rectangle.
What is the difference between die cut stickers and kiss cut stickers?
Die cut stickers are cut through to the shape of the sticker itself. Kiss cut stickers are usually supplied on a backing sheet, with the sticker cut through the top layer but not the backing. Kiss cut stickers can be easier to peel, while die cut stickers are often chosen for a more finished individual sticker shape.
Can you print die cut logo stickers?
Yes. Printmonster can produce die cut logo stickers for packaging, promotions, events, giveaways and general business branding. Send your logo, preferred size and quantity, and the team can advise.
