Finding the right size for your car die cuts

When choosing the right size for your car die cuts, it’s important to measure the area where you want to place them.

Remember the old saying: measure twice and cut once, it really applies here!

This helps you choose a size that fits properly and looks great. In general, you should leave about 1/4" of margin around the sticker’s design so it applies smoothly and evenly to the surface.

We usually recommend a range from 7 cm up to 20 cm for car die cuts, depending on the area you want to cover.
