Vinyl Stickers Printing and Labelling: Latest Design and Printing Trends

Brands are constantly on the lookout for new and innovative ways to promote themselves. The more attractive your labeling, vinyl stickers, logo, and packaging are, the more likely you are to attract buyers. 

Product labelling is essential in today’s marketing system. In fact, it is almost as vital as the product itself. A label design can often be make or break for your product.

Beyond other marketing strategies such as ads and commercials, good branding techniques help people recognize the brand. There are a wide variety of printing services offered, ranging from custom vinyl sticker painting and vinyl label printing to custom-shaped stickers and sticker design printing. These labels and stickers work as an additional form of marketing for your products and services.

Here are some latest design and printing trends to enhance your labels and stickers’ looks and meet your specialized business needs.

Latest Trend: Custom Contour Shape Cutting for Vinyl Stickers

Along with designing shapes, custom contour shape cutting is also available for vinyl stickers. Contour cuts around the outer edges of a printed image in a predetermined shape or cuts the exact contour of the design.

Instead of printing a logo on a piece of paper and cutting it out using a pair of scissors to get inconsistent borders, contour cutting gives a smooth result of your cuttings.

The custom design is printed on a vinyl sticker material and cut out precisely and quickly with a computer-guided cutting process. Contour cutting allows your sticker’s shape to be intricate, simple, and uniform.   

Contour cut makes sure that the final look of your design will be a custom cut, with minimal remaining background material between the design elements. Our experienced professionals make sure your designs are accurate and reduce the amount of material left inside the design by cutting around the extra edges.

As an added bonus, they reduce heat and glare from the sun by giving the appearance of a tinted window from the inside. Glass graphics with one-way visibility are printed on a reusable adhesive on a gloss white vinyl.
