Die cut to your outline

Custom Shape Stickers cut to follow the edge of your design

A custom shape sticker has no box around it. The cut follows the outline of your logo, character, product or lettering, so the sticker looks like the design itself rather than a picture on a rectangle. We die cut stickers to almost any shape, and check that thin points, gaps and borders will survive cutting and peeling.

Custom shape guide

Designing stickers that cut cleanly

Cutting to shape adds impact, but the outline has to be practical. These tips help your design translate into a sticker that peels and sticks well.

Why choose custom shape stickers?

A shape that matches the artwork is instantly more eye-catching. A character that looks as if it is standing on a laptop, or a logo that sits cleanly on a bottle, feels more finished than the same design inside a square.

Custom shapes also avoid wasted space. Rather than an empty corner of background, every part of the sticker carries design, which makes small stickers look bolder.

For brands, a distinctive outline becomes part of the identity. People recognise the silhouette of a well-shaped sticker even before they read it.

Popular uses for custom shape stickers

Shaped stickers are especially popular for:

  • Logo stickers – brand marks cut to their own silhouette.
  • Illustrated merch – characters, animals and doodles for creators.
  • Product-shaped promotions – a bottle, shoe or food item in sticker form.
  • Event and team designs – mascots, crests and badges.
  • Laptop and bottle stickers – bold outlines that look great on devices.

Materials, cut types and sizes

Die cut singles are cut through the sticker and backing, so each piece is its own shape. Kiss cut sheets cut only the sticker layer, leaving several shapes on one backing. Choose singles for handouts and sheets for sets.

White vinyl is the usual base for shaped stickers because it is strong and flexible. Clear vinyl lets the surface show between design elements, and holographic film makes a shaped outline shimmer.

Size affects how much detail the outline can hold. The smaller the sticker, the simpler the contour needs to be for clean cutting and easy peeling.

Borders, gaps and fine details

Most shaped stickers include a small border, often white, around the artwork. This offset smooths out tiny gaps and spikes in the design, making the sticker stronger and easier to peel. A consistent border also hides minor cut variation.

Avoid very thin protrusions such as whiskers, fine text tails or narrow spikes. They can tear when peeled or lift once applied. Joining nearby elements into one outline usually works better than separate islands.

Supply a vector cut line if you have one. If not, send your artwork and we will review where the outline should run and show it on your proof.

How custom shapes help your brand stand out

On a crowded laptop lid or shop counter, shaped stickers catch attention because they break the grid of rectangles around them. That makes them strong performers for merch and giveaways.

Shape can also tell a story on its own. A logo sticker cut to its silhouette reinforces your visual identity every time someone sees the outline.

FAQs

Custom Shape Stickers questions, answered

How do die cut and kiss cut stickers differ?

Die cut stickers are cut through both the sticker and the backing, so each one is a separate shape. Kiss cut stickers are cut through the sticker layer only, leaving them on a shared backing sheet.

Do I need to supply a cut line?

A vector cut line is helpful but not essential. Send your artwork and we will review where the outline should run, then show it on your PDF proof.

Why do shaped stickers have a white border?

A border around the artwork smooths fine gaps and spikes, strengthens the sticker and hides small variations in cutting. You can choose a different colour or ask about removing it.

Can you cut very detailed outlines?

Fairly detailed outlines are possible, but very thin points and narrow gaps can tear when peeled. We will suggest simplifying areas that are likely to cause problems.

Can holes be cut inside the shape?

Internal cut-outs are possible where they are large enough to remove cleanly. Mention them when you send your artwork.

Which material is best for shaped stickers?

White vinyl suits most uses. Clear vinyl lets the surface show through, and holographic film adds a striking effect for merch.

How long do custom shape stickers take?

Allow 10–12 working days after you approve the proof, then delivery to your UK address.
