Custom Die-Cut Decals – Precision Cut for Maximum Impact
Die-cut decals take any shape you can imagine. Precision cutting eliminates backgrounds for a professional, floating design effect on any surface.
Price starts from $0.30 per piece for large volume orders. Final pricing depends on size, material, printing, and quantity.
The "Floating" Decal Look, Background Removed
Die-cut decals are precision-cut vinyl graphics with the background removed, so only your shape adheres to the surface — the "floating" look you see on car windows, laptops, and storefront glass. Unlike a printed sticker on a square, a decal reads as if the graphic is part of the surface itself.
We produce them as printed die-cuts (full-color, laminated) or as cut-vinyl decals (solid color, transfer-taped) depending on the look you want. Both are made from durable outdoor vinyl and cut to your exact artwork, with transfer tape supplied for multi-piece designs so installation stays aligned.
If you're comparing options, it's also worth looking at our custom vehicle stickers and decals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Die-Cut Decals
In practice, a decal is a die-cut vinyl graphic with the background removed and often applied with transfer tape for a floating look, while a sticker usually includes its printed background on a backing. Decals suit windows, vehicles, and walls where you want only the design to show.
Multi-piece decals come with transfer (application) tape holding the layout together. Clean the surface, position the taped decal, press it down from the center outward, then peel the tape away slowly, leaving the decal aligned on the surface.
Die-Cut Decals printed on premium outdoor vinyl typically last 3–5 years on a vehicle's exterior without cracking, peeling, or significant fading.
Our Die-Cut Decals are designed to be removable after use. Warm the sticker with a heat gun before removal and it should peel off without damaging the clear coat.
Yes. Die-Cut Decals are made from UV-resistant, waterproof outdoor vinyl that withstands rain, road grit, and intense sun exposure for years.
Die-Cut Decals applied to a clean, smooth paint surface can handle automated car washes. Avoid directing high-pressure nozzles at the sticker edges.
Die-Cut Decals adhere best to smooth, clean, paint-coated surfaces. They also work on glass, plastic, and metal panels with proper surface preparation.
Yes. We die cut Die-Cut Decals to any custom shape. Provide a template based on your vehicle panel dimensions and we'll cut to fit precisely.
Our inks are UV-stabilized, meaning Die-Cut Decals resist fading for 3–5 years even in high-sun climates. Lamination adds an extra layer of UV protection.
Clean the surface thoroughly, peel slowly, and use a squeegee to apply Die-Cut Decals from the center outward. Our artwork guidelines include an application guide.
