The words kissing the paper is an easy way to remember the way a kiss cut sticker is cut. When stickers are created with kiss cuts it means they can be peeled out of the backing material and the backing material remains. Kiss cuts do not cut the backing material which allows the kiss cut stickers to peel out of the sheet. While creating kisscut sticker sheets the outside of the sticker design is cut by a plotter or a sharp metal die and it bites through the sticker and only kisses the paper.
Our cutters cut through the sticker material and the backing material to give your custom sticker a shape that is as unique as the artwork on it. You get the same superior laminated topping for protection on either option you choose. The answer is quite simple. Kiss cut stickers include light cuts within the border of your stickers.
