Kiss Cut Labels are cut to a custom shape using a laser. The cut is made completely through the backing paper. With Kiss Cut labels, the label shape is entirely cut out. So the labels are usually provided individually in sheets (not on rolls).
Kiss cutting is a process that involves cutting through the top layer of a label material without cutting through the backing material. The result is a label that can be easily peeled off from the backing material and applied to a surface.
Kiss cutting is achieved using a specialized cutting tool, such as a digital cutting machine or a rotary die cutter. The cutting tool is set to a specific depth that cuts through the facestock material but leaves the backing material intact. The result is a label that is cut to the desired shape and size, but remains on the backing material until it is peeled off.
Kiss cutting is often used to create custom-shaped labels or stickers, where the label material is cut to the shape of a logo or design. It is also commonly used in the production of sheet labels, where multiple labels are printed on a single sheet of material and then kiss cut to make them easily separable.
Kiss cutting is a precise and efficient method of label production, as it minimizes material waste and allows for the production of a wide range of label shapes and sizes. It is a popular technique in the production of labels for packaging, product identification, and branding applications.
