Die-cut labels have round corners.

Butt-cut labels have square corners.

Which is right for you?

Hundreds of Shapes are available for die-cut labels. If you don't see what you need on this site, just ask. We may have the die in our library, or we can create a special die just for you for an additional charge.

Rolls, Sheets or Fanfolded? How a label is finished often depends on the die. Most die-cut labels are available in the following formats:

       On rolls (dispenser boxes available for most sizes) .

        Individually on sheets .

      Multiple labels on a sheet .

      Fanfolded with pinfeed holes and perforations between labels .

      Fanfolded and perforated, without pinfeed holes

Rounded Corners. All die-cut squares and rectangles have rounded corners-although some rounding is so slight, the corner appears almost square. The corner radius depends on the die you choose, so if the degree of rounding is important to you, please ask for a die-line proof.

Full Bleed. The ink on die-cut labels can extend off the edges of the label.

Squares or Rectangles are available in widths up to 10"
and lengths up to 24".

Rolls or Sheets? Butt-cut labels have no excess material around the labels. Butt-cut labels can be produced three ways:

On rolls.

On individual sheets with a 1/8" bend and peel strip. Minimum size on sheets is 1" x 2 ½" including the strip.

Multiple labels per sheet - please ask for a quote

Ink on Sheeted Labels. When you order individual butt-cut sheets, the ink can extend (bleed) all the way off the edges of the label. Please allow for a 1/8" bend and peel strip.

Ink on Roll Labels. When you order butt-cut rolls, there must be a 1/16" ink-free margin (no bleed) all the way around the outer edge of the label. We cannot print in this margin, so the color of the label stock will show all around the label.
