How do transfer stickers differ from die cut stickers?
Transfer stickers are similar to die cut stickers but with more possibilities! An artwork that is too intricate for a die cut sticker might be possible as a transfer sticker. Some other differences include:
| Die cut stickers | Transfer stickers |
|---|---|
| Allows for a single internal cut | Allows for multiple internal cuts |
| Made from a single piece | Made of many pieces |
| Minimum border of 1.58 mm | Minimum border of 0.79 mm |
| Minimum bleed of 1.58 mm | Minimum bleed of 0.75 mm |
| Paper backing | Paper backing plus transfer tape |
| Laminate finish | No laminate finish |
Die cut stickers and transfer stickers are also applied differently. Die cut stickers are your classic peel-and-stick style, while transfer stickers come with a transfer tape that holds the pieces of your sticker together and is removed once your sticker is in place.
