What is die cut vinyl?
Cut-only vinyl is a heat transfer process where your design is precision-cut from solid-coloured film and applied directly to garments, signage, or accessories. It’s known for producing sharp, clean designs with high contrast and durability.
No ink involved - just crisp edges, bold colours, and a professional finish that stands the test of time.
Cut Vinyl Works Well On:
- Sports uniforms
- High-vis garments
- Tote bags
- Custom signage
- Promotional Items
When Should I Choose die cut vinyl?
Cut Vinyl Is Ideal When:
- You need names or numbers added to team gear
- Your design is single-colour or simple in shape
- You're working with hi-vis garments that need reflective taping
- You’re customising signage, windows, or hard surfaces
- You want a fast, cost-effective option for personalisation
It’s the Industry Standard For:
- Sports Numbers & Player Names
- Custom Safety Labels
- One-Off Tees & Hats
- Reflective Garments
- Simple Business Signage
Key Benefits
- Crisp & Clean Lines – No pixelation or ink bleeding
- Built to Last – Strong resistance to fading and cracking
- No Minimums – Perfect for single items or one-off orders
- Versatile Surface Application – Garments, signs, vehicles & more
Things to Know
- Not Suitable for Intricate Artwork – Very fine details or small fonts may not cut cleanly
- No Colour Blends or Gradients - Only solid colours can be used; each additional colour is a new layer
- Flat Surfaces Work Best - materials can affect adhesion
- Every Colour is a Separate Film Layer – Multi-colour designs are more labour-intensive
Care Instructions
- Cold wash
- Avoid bleach or harsh detergents
- Do not iron over the design
- Line dry for best results
Proper care will ensure your vinyl prints remain vibrant and durable over time.
Pricing Notes
- Charged Per Location – Each placement (e.g., front, back, sleeve) is priced individually
- No Setup Fees – There are no setup charges for standard cut vinyl
- Fixed Cost Based on Design Size – Larger graphics = higher cost
- Simple = More Cost-Effective – Single-colour logos or names are the most economical
- Volume Discounts Limited – Some discounts may apply, but pricing doesn't drop significantly with higher quantities like screen printing or embroidery
We’ll quote you clearly, upfront — and if screen printing isn’t the most cost-effective method, we’ll suggest a better option.
FAQ Highlights
Is Cut Vinyl Suitable for Just One Shirt?
Yes - it’s one of the best options for one-off personalisation like names or numbers.
Can I Use Multi-Colour Designs?
Yes, but each colour is a separate layer, so complexity and cost increase with every added colour.
