Custom Die Cut Labels

These labels are built for products, not scrap paper. They print full color on the front, they stick where you need them, and the custom cut makes even a small label read as a finished mark of quality. Want to see how die-cut labels sit next to the rest of the range? Browse every option on labels printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $93.37, roughly $3.73 a label, and the per-label cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full production run for a launch costs far less per label than a quick test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live set total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What Are Die-Cut Labels

Die-cut labels are custom-shape adhesive labels cut to a specific outline rather than a plain rectangle, printed full color on the front in 16 sizes from 2" x 2" up to 11" x 11", on any of 6 materials. People reach for them when a square sticker would feel generic: product and packaging labels, jar and bottle seals, logo badges, warning and instruction labels, and laptop or gear decals. Because the cut hugs the design, the label looks stamped on rather than stuck on. If you want the familiar rectangle instead, the Custom Labels cover that, and the die-cut version sits right beside it as the one shaped to your art.

Die Cut Label Materials

Six materials run on this product, three papers and three films. Match the material to where the label lives, because the shape only holds up if the stock survives the surface it lands on.

The short version: if the label will meet water, condensation or a scrub, order vinyl. If it will be written on, order uncoated. If it sits on a shelf and has to sell, order Hi-Gloss UV.

What Size and Shape Should a Die-Cut Label Be

Size and shape are two separate choices here, and both matter. On size, you get 16 stock options that step from a small 2" x 2" seal all the way up to an 11" x 11" panel, plus a custom size if none of the presets fit, up to 11" x 11". On shape, you pick from four cut styles: straight corners for a crisp square, 1/8" rounded corners for a softer edge that resists peeling, or a basic custom shape when the outline should track your artwork. Every label ships kiss-cut on sheets, so each one peels off cleanly while the backing stays put. All the sizes and cut options are grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents them, so you know what you can change before you change it. For pre-cut rolls off a liner, the Shaped Roll Labels run the same idea on a reel.

Here are a few easy ways to make a die-cut label pull its weight.

Die Cut or Kiss Cut

The two words describe how deep the blade goes. A true die cut goes through the label and the backing together, so each label comes away as a separate piece with its own paper backing behind it. A kiss cut goes only through the face material and the adhesive, and stops at the backing, so the backing stays a full square sheet and the shape lifts off it.

These labels ship kiss cut on sheets, whichever outline you choose: straight corners, 1/8" rounded corners or a basic custom shape. That is the format most people want in practice. The sheet stays flat in a drawer, nothing curls at the corners in a shipping box, and a worker at a bench can peel one label at a time with a fingernail at the edge of the shape instead of chasing a loose die cut piece around the table.

Full die cut singles are easier to hand out one by one, at a counter or in a mailer. Kiss cut sheets are faster to apply in a batch, which is what a production line, a kitchen or a packing bench is actually doing.

Match the material to where it lives

The material sets the whole feel and durability of the label. Uncoated reads natural and takes a pen, Semi-Gloss lifts color cleanly, and Hi-Gloss UV makes a photo or logo pop with a wet-look shine. When the label needs to survive moisture and handling, move to film: White Vinyl Permanent locks down for good, White Vinyl Repositionable lifts and reapplies without tearing, and Clear Label Permanent disappears into glass for that no-label look. For a shimmering metallic face on a product label, the Metallic Labels carry that finish across a whole order.

Let the shape carry the design

A die-cut label is basically a frame you get to draw. Cut it to your logo outline, a badge, or a rounded seal, and the edge itself signals care that a plain rectangle never will. Keep the important art inside the safe margin so the cut never clips it, and the finished label looks deliberate from across a shelf. When you want the same custom cut as a peel-and-stick you hand out rather than a product seal, the Die-Cut Stickers are built around exactly that.

Design it without a designer

You do not need a design background to make a die-cut label look sharp. Start from a professionally built layout, then change the colors, copy and logo in the online editor in minutes. Set your cut line, drop your art inside the safe area, and you are ready to upload.

How Much Do Die-Cut Labels Cost

Die-cut labels start at $93.37 per set of 25, about $3.73 a label, and the per-label price keeps dropping across 41 quantity tiers toward 100,000. A run of 700 labels is $170.25, 6,000 run $641.45, and a full 100,000 land at $7,588.90, or roughly 7 and a half cents each, so a cheap die-cut label really comes down to how big a run you order. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-label cost update live, then find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget.

Order Die Cut Labels in Three Steps

1. Set the shape. Upload artwork with the outline you want the blade to follow, or pick one of the standard cuts, straight corners or 1/8" rounded corners. Keep the important part of the design away from the edge so a small shift in the cut never clips your logo.

2. Choose size, material and quantity. Sixteen sizes run from 2" x 2" up to an 11" x 11" panel, with a custom size anywhere up to 11" x 11". Pick the material for where the label lives, then the quantity: the ladder starts at 25 for $93.37 and runs across 41 tiers to under 8 cents each at 100,000.

3. Approve the proof. Check the outline, the bleed and the type against the edge on the proof before anything runs. That is the moment to catch a shape that crops tighter than you expected, and it costs nothing.

Do Die-Cut Labels Print on Both Sides

Die-cut labels print full color on the front, with the back left blank for the adhesive. That is the standard build for a label that sticks to a product or a package, where only the face is ever seen. It keeps the file simple and the cost down, and it means your color, logo and cut line all live on one clean side. If you need a shape that peels and sticks for casual, hand-out use instead of a product seal, the Die-Cut Stickers share the same custom-cut idea in a peel-and-stick form.

How Do Die-Cut Labels Compare to the Rest of the Range

Die-cut labels are the pick when the shape itself should stand out, but they are not your only move. If you are weighing a plain rectangle, a roll off a liner or a see-through clear stock, it helps to see the trade-off in plain numbers. The chart below lines up die-cut labels against their closest siblings, like Standard Labels and Clear Labels, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

Words only go so far. Want to see how material, color and cut come together on a real label? The gallery below collects work our own customers printed in-house, across different sizes, materials and shapes, so you can borrow ideas and see how a choice actually reads on a jar or a box. Tap any print to see it larger.

If you are choosing between paper and vinyl for a jar, a bottle or a cooler, do not decide from a screen. Request free samples first, put a real printed piece against the container it has to live on, and check how the surface takes a fingerprint before you commit a run of thousands.

How Fast Can You Get Die-Cut Labels

Die-cut labels print on a 5 business day standard turnaround, and when a date sneaks up you can move that to 4-day, 3-day, 2-day or even Next-Day production. Each step buys back time for a set amount on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Before anything prints you can take a free online proof to check the cut line and the color, or send the file straight to production if you are confident in it.

Die Cut Labels or Continuous Roll Labels

A die cut label is one finished shape, cut around the artwork and delivered on a sheet you peel by hand. A continuous label runs down a liner on a roll, one after another at a set gap, and is meant to feed a dispenser or a labeling machine. The label itself can look the same. What changes is how it arrives and how it gets applied. Choose die cut sheets when a person applies the labels at a bench, when the run is a few hundred, or when the shape is the point: a badge, a seal, a mascot. Choose a roll when the same label goes on thousands of products in a line. On this page every order ships kiss cut on sheets in 16 sizes from 2" x 2" to 11" x 11". For the same shaped cut on a roll, the Shaped Roll Labels run from $300.05, and the plain rectangle on a roll is the Roll Labels from $322.98.

How a Die Cut Label Is Cut

The cut is the last step, not the first. The labels print first, full color on the front, as a grid of your design on a sheet of the material you picked. Then a blade follows the outline you set: straight corners, 1/8" rounded corners, or the basic custom shape that traces your artwork. The blade is set to go through the face material and the adhesive and stop at the liner, which is the kiss cut, so the sheet stays whole and each label lifts off at its edge. A full die cut goes through the liner too and leaves separate pieces. That is why the outline you supply should be a smooth closed path with the important art held back from the line: a small shift in the cut clips a hairline edge, and it never clips a clear margin.
