Custom Printed Stickers
Die-cut and kiss-cut stickers printed in the USA
Stickers are one of the least expensive ways to add personality, branding, and real value to a product you already sell. They cost little, they weigh almost nothing, and they turn a planner or a welcome box into something a customer wants to open rather than simply receive.
We print die-cut stickers and kiss-cut sticker sheets, and we also print on pre-cut sheets when you want stickers without committing to a production run. Those three options have different minimums, which is the part most people need to understand before choosing.
Die-Cut and Kiss-Cut
Die-Cut Stickers
Cut to the exact shape of your design, with the sticker and its backing cut to the same outline. Each sticker is printed and cut individually in the size and shape you choose, which gives it a finished, professional look on its own.
Best for branding packages, product inserts, gift bags and welcome kits, promotional handouts, and personalizing products or equipment.
Kiss-Cut Sticker Sheets
Cut through the sticker material but not the backing, so the backing sheet stays whole and holds several stickers at once. A customer peels off one at a time and keeps the rest on the sheet.
This is the most popular option for planners, journals, and activity books, and it is the format most people picture when they think of a sticker sheet.
Kiss-cut sheet options
- Standard sheets are laser cut and hold up to 30 different shapes. No die is made, so there is no tooling to pay for
- Custom sheets are die-cut and can hold any number of shapes
- Any sheet size up to 8.5 x 11 inches
- Supplied as individual sheets, or bound directly into a product
Binding the sheets into the book is worth considering if the stickers belong to a specific product. A planner with its sticker sheets bound in cannot arrive without them, and there is nothing separate to pack, track, or lose.
Minimums, and How to Avoid Them
This is the question that decides which sticker is right for your project, so it is worth being direct about it.
| Option | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Custom die-cut stickers | 50 | Your exact shape, cut individually. Worth it once you know the design is right. |
| Standard kiss-cut sheets, laser cut | 50 | Up to 30 shapes on a sheet with no die to pay for. The usual starting point for planner and journal stickers. |
| Custom kiss-cut sheets, die-cut | 50 | Any number of shapes on a sheet, once you need more than a standard sheet allows. |
| Pre-cut sticker sheets | None | Testing a design, small batches, or selling stickers on demand. |
| Shipping box stickers | None | Branding the outside of a package. |
Pre-cut sheets are the option most people do not know about. We print your artwork onto sheets that are already cut into stock shapes, so no die is made and there is no minimum at all. You can order a handful, see them in your hands, and only move to a custom die once the design has earned it. Contact us for current stock shapes and sizes.
Stickers with QR Codes
A sticker with a QR code is the cheapest bridge there is between something printed and something online. It costs pennies, it goes anywhere, and it turns a physical product into an entry point for the rest of what you do.
Customers use them to link to a welcome video, share a bonus download, send a reader to a landing page, promote a social channel, or carry a special offer.
One use worth calling out on its own: a branded QR sticker applied to the outside of the shipping box. The customer sees it before the box is even open, and it is the natural moment to invite an unboxing post or a review. Shipping box stickers have no minimum, so this is inexpensive to try.
Ways to Use Stickers
- An upsell alongside planners and workbooks
- Personalizing an undated planner with dates and labels
- Activity stickers for kids and childrens books
- A bonus gift included with an order
- Branding for laptops, binders, and gear
- Inserts tucked into shipping packages
- Add-ons for subscription boxes and welcome kits
- Promotional stickers carrying a QR code
If you already sell planners, journals, card decks, or welcome boxes, stickers are the most natural add-on there is. We can print small batches or larger quantities, store them in our warehouse, and ship them with your products as orders come in.
Preparing Your Files
We print from your print ready files. We do not create or edit artwork, so your file needs to arrive finished, at the correct size, with the right bleed and resolution.
Stickers have one requirement that catches people out. The cut line has to be a vector path, not a drawn outline in an image, because the cutting equipment follows that path directly. This is why a sticker file usually cannot be finished in Canva, even when the artwork itself was designed there.
Our guide to custom stickers walks through materials, formats, and file setup in detail. Full requirements are on our print specifications, and templates for many of our products page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers?
A die-cut sticker is cut all the way through, so the sticker and its backing share the same shape. A kiss-cut sticker is cut through the material only, leaving the backing sheet whole so it can hold several stickers at once.
Is there a minimum order for stickers?
Custom die-cut stickers and custom kiss-cut sheets have a minimum of 50. Pre-cut sticker sheets and shipping box stickers have no minimum at all.
How can I order stickers without meeting a minimum?
Ask about pre-cut sticker sheets. We print your artwork onto sheets already cut into stock shapes, so no die is needed and there is no minimum. It is the best way to test a design before committing to a custom run.
How many shapes can go on one sticker sheet?
A standard sheet is laser cut and holds up to 30 different shapes. A custom sheet is die-cut and can hold any number.
What is the difference between a laser cut and a die-cut sticker sheet?
Laser cutting follows your shapes directly, so no cutting die has to be made and there is no tooling cost. A die is only needed for a custom sheet carrying more than 30 shapes.
What is the largest sticker sheet you print?
Sheets can be any size up to 8.5 x 11 inches.
Can sticker sheets be bound into a book?
Yes. Sheets can be supplied loose or bound directly into a planner, journal, or workbook, so the stickers cannot be separated from the product they belong to.
Why can I not finish my sticker file in Canva?
The cut line has to be a vector path for the cutting equipment to follow. Canva cannot export one, so the artwork may start there but the cut line has to be added in a program that produces vector paths.
Do you design the stickers for me?
No. We print from your print ready files. You supply the finished artwork and the cut line, and we handle printing, cutting, and fulfillment.
