Creating Personalized Stickers Using GCC Cutting Plotters




The Die Cut function allows users to cut through the backing of the material and you can easily set up the length and force of die cut and kiss cut cutting line at the same job. This feature applies to different applications such as stickers and prototype of boxes, perfect for business owners who would like to provide customized and unique products.
* Die Cut cuts through the backing of the material
Kiss Cut (half cut) only cuts through the vinyl but not the backing sheet

Step 4: Select the cutter model and go to “Preferences”.
Step 5: Go to “Option”, tick “Die Cut”, and enter the amount you wish for the “Length” and “Force” of both Die Cut and Kiss Cut, then click “OK ”.
Range of length setting:
Die Cut: 0-2000mm

  • Parameters are for reference only. Please adjust the parameters according to the application and material you are working on.
  • The extension of the blade has to be set to cut through both the top layer and the backing in the very beginning. You then adjust the tool force for the best cutting performance.
  • Once the Die Cut function is activated, it will perform on all the line segments on the object.
