Sticker and kiss-cut tooling
Label cutting dies for stickers, roll labels and clean kiss-cut work
A label die proves itself on the liner. The face material must cut cleanly while the carrier stays intact, waste strips must peel away and tight corners must not tear.
Where this die fits
Adhesive type, paper or PP/PET face stock, liner thickness and shape geometry decide the rule height. Soft rounded labels and sharp logo points need different pressure behavior.
Label blade, sticker cutting blade and kiss-cut die requests describe different parts of the same label tooling job: the face material separates cleanly while the carrier liner stays intact. Layout count, gap and stripping direction are kept clear in the file.
- Roll labels and sheet stickers
- Paper, thermal, PP, PET and clear labels
- Kiss-cut and full-cut work
- Logo shapes, campaign labels and repeat production
Checks for a clean cut without liner damage
Label geometry alone is not enough. Face stock, adhesive, liner construction, corner turns, label gap and stripping direction are assessed together so the face separates while the carrier remains intact.
- Clean top cut without liner damage
- Corner quality on tight turns
- Label gap and stripping direction
- Roll direction, winding and machine fit
Material needed for label testing and quotation
Provide label size, form drawing, face stock, liner sample and the intended cut type in the same brief. For a critical kiss-cut job, the need for a trial is decided from the actual material construction.
- Label size and shape drawing
- Material, liner and adhesive details
- Roll direction or sheet size
- Kiss-cut or full-cut requirement
Common questions
1 What is a kiss-cut die?
A kiss-cut die cuts the face material of the label while leaving the backing liner intact.
2 Which materials can sticker dies cut?
Paper, thermal, PP, PET, clear label stock and many adhesive materials can be prepared with the right setup.
3 Why does roll direction matter?
Stripping and winding direction affect whether labels move smoothly through the machine.
