KISS CUTTING
KISS CUTTING

Kiss Cutting is a process in which using vector paths in a file allow us to cut a sticker out of a larger sheet of material without cutting into the backing. This process can be used for doing multiple stickers up on a sheet so you can then peel off as needed, or it can also be used for vinyl cut lettering.

With the vinyl cut letter process, we kiss cut the material, weed out the negative space and then apply a transfer tape to the top. This then makes for easy removal of all pieces from the backing sheet when applying to glass or a wall.
