Your Logo on Everything
They Already Own.
A sticker is the only advertisement your customer volunteers to carry around. Printed, laminated, and contour cut in Louisville, down to a single piece.
A Sticker in a Drawer Is a Dead Sticker.
There's a real gap between a sticker somebody sticks on a laptop and one that goes straight in a junk drawer. It isn't luck. It's whether the design is worth carrying, whether the shape is interesting, and whether the finish makes someone want to pick it up.
That's a design problem before it's a printing problem, which is why we start there.
Die-Cut, Kiss-Cut, or Sheet?
The right answer depends entirely on how the sticker gets handed out.
Die-cut
One sticker, cut to the exact silhouette of your design.
Best for
Handouts, laptop stickers, anything sold or given away individually.
Worth knowing
Backing is cut to shape too, so the sticker looks finished before it's peeled.
Kiss-cut
Several stickers on one rectangular backing sheet.
Best for
Sticker packs, label sets, anything mailed flat in an envelope.
Worth knowing
Only the vinyl is cut. The backing stays whole, so nothing falls off in transit.
Sheet labels
A grid of identical labels on one sheet.
Best for
Product runs, packaging, equipment tagging.
Worth knowing
Fastest per-unit option when you need the same label many times over.
Five Finishes. Pick This One When…
The laminate does more for how a sticker feels than the artwork does. Here's the honest guide.
Gloss
Product labels and anything handled daily.
Deepens color and wipes clean. The safe default when you want the artwork to look as saturated in hand as it did on screen.
Matte
Premium packaging and anything photographed.
Kills glare completely. Reads more expensive than gloss and doesn't fight with store lighting or a camera flash.
Holographic
Merch, giveaways, and limited drops.
Throws a rainbow shift as it moves. This is the finish people actually keep. It does a lot of the selling for you.
Glass Shard
Collectible runs and standout branding.
A fractured, crystalline sparkle that catches light in sharp facets. Louder than holographic in direct light.
Micro Dot
Subtle texture without the rainbow.
A fine dotted shimmer that adds depth up close but stays understated from across a room.
What We Cut
Where It's Going to Live
- Outdoor and weather-exposed: printed on vinyl, laminated as standard
- Dishwasher and hand-wash items: waterproof stock, gloss laminate
- Storefront glass and vehicles: outdoor-rated vinyl with a protective laminate
- Indoor-only paper stock: cheaper, and we'll tell you when it's the wrong call
What Happens to a Logo at Two Inches
Most logos were designed for a website header, not a sticker. At sticker scale, three things break:
- Hairline strokes vanish or fill in during the cut
- Type under about 6pt turns into a smudge
- Drop shadows and thin gradients go muddy
We thicken, resize, and simplify to fix all three. That's standard design work here, not a surprise line item.

Sticker Questions
What's the difference between die-cut and kiss-cut stickers?
Die-cut means the sticker and its backing are both cut to the shape of your design, so you get a single sticker in the exact silhouette of the artwork. That's what you want for handouts, laptop stickers, and anything sold individually. Kiss-cut means only the vinyl is cut while the backing stays a full rectangle, so several stickers can sit on one sheet and peel off individually. Kiss-cut is better for sticker packs, sheets of labels, and anything you're mailing flat.
Will these survive outside?
Printed on vinyl and laminated, yes. That's the standard build for window decals, equipment labels, and bumper stickers. Unlaminated paper stock is an indoor-only material and we'll say so when you ask for it. Tell us where the sticker is going to live and we'll spec the right combination rather than letting you find out in a rainstorm.
Which laminate finish should I pick?
Gloss makes colors pop and wipes clean, so it's the default for product labels and anything handled often. Matte kills glare and photographs well, which is why it reads more premium on packaging. Holographic throws a rainbow shift as it moves and sells itself on merch and giveaways. Glass shard and micro dot are textured specialty finishes that catch light in a finer, more scattered way. Great for limited runs and anything meant to feel collectible. If you're undecided, tell us where it's going and we'll narrow it to two.
How small can the detail be?
Bigger than most people expect. Hairline strokes, tiny text under about 6pt, and drop shadows tend to disappear or clog at two inches. This is fixable. We routinely thicken strokes, bump type size, and simplify a logo specifically so it survives at sticker scale. That's part of the design work, not an upcharge surprise.
Can you cut a custom shape?
Yes. Contour cutting follows whatever outline your artwork calls for, up to 24 inches wide. If your file has no cut path we'll build one, including an offset border if the design needs a little breathing room around the edge.
Do you do product and packaging labels?
Yes: jars, bottles, boxes, retail packaging, and equipment labels. Curved surfaces and squeeze bottles behave differently than flat ones, so tell us the container and ideally send a photo or the dimensions. It changes both the material we pick and how we lay out the artwork.
