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 1/16" | Minimum border of 1/32" |
Minimum bleed of .0625" | Minimum bleed of .0295" |
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.
