Glossy or matte finish? That is the question…

Glossy laminate

Sticker Beaver’s glossy laminate is a special finish that we apply to our stickers to give them a shiny and smooth texture, like a glossy waxed paint. We do this by adding a clear, glossy layer of laminate material to the surface of the sticker. This finish not only makes the stickers look cool, but it also adds extra protection and durability.

Matte laminate

Sticker Beaver’s matte laminate is another special finish that we apply to our stickers. Unlike our glossy laminate, this finish gives the stickers a flat, non-reflective surface, like a matte paint. This is achieved by adding a clear, matte layer of laminate material to the surface of the sticker. While the finish may not be as shiny, it adds a unique and professional look to the stickers. The matte laminate finish also provides extra protection and durability to the stickers, ensuring they last longer.

Die cut or kiss cut?

What’s the Difference Between Die Cut and Kiss Cut for Stickers?

Die cutting and kiss cutting are two methods used to cut stickers. Die cutting involves using a machine to cut out a specific shape from the sticker material. This allows for almost any shape to be cut. On the other hand, kiss cutting only partially cuts through the sticker material, leaving it attached to the backing sheet. This makes it easier to peel off the sticker from the backing paper and enables more complex shapes to be cut than with die cut. Kiss cut is a great addition to die cut, giving you more options for creating custom stickers, either single or multiple per sheet, with easy peeling.

It’s essential to note that a kiss cut is always within a die cut, meaning that multiple, custom-shaped stickers can be on one sheet with easy peeling. Die cut is ideal for creating specific shapes, while kiss cut is great for creating unique, custom-shaped stickers that stand out.

Commonly used shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, triangles, and ovals, are super popular, These shapes are great for simple designs or logos that require a specific shape.
