Comparing Square and Die-Cut Sticker Footprints

Compare the occupied shape, including corners and borders, when choosing between a square and an outlined sticker.

What to know

Two stickers can share a bounding box while covering different amounts of the surface. Square corners fill areas that an irregular outline leaves open. Compare the full footprint instead of assuming that the same dimension label means the same visual weight.

Check your plan

  • Draw the bounding box of each option.
  • Notice which corners contain visible material.
  • Check whether the selected shape changes the composition.

A practical example

A die-cut flower can leave open space around its petals. A square version creates a stronger block, which may suit a deliberately structured layout.

The cover is an artwork example from the catalog. Use the measurements and file checks above to evaluate your own project, rather than treating the image as a scale reference.
