The tightest corner we can cut is 0.04” radius—anything sharper risks rough edges, burn marks, or peeling over time. Our high-speed lasers work best with slight rounding for clean, durable cuts, so our artists will default to setting your artwork up with a .125" radius. If you would like sharper corners, make sure to request those in the Special Instructions field during the order process.

The Importance of Rounded Corners in Sticker and Label Printing

When it comes to producing stickers and labels, many factors influence the final product's look, feel, and durability. An often overlooked but essential design feature is the shape of the corners. While it might seem like a minor detail, the shape of your corners can play a big part in creating that WOW factor! That said, there are a few things to keep in mind regarding the corner radius.

The Manufacturing Process

We use super-fast, super-hot lasers for all cutting—it’s as cool as you think. Because of the speed and high heat of the lasers, sharp corners can scorch under intense heat, leaving burn marks or rough edges. Rounded corners ensure a smoother cutting process for a clean, professional finish while keeping our manufacturing team safe and efficient.By distributing stress more evenly, rounded corners help prevent damage during handling, application, and long-term use.

Aesthetically, rounded corners tend to create a softer, more approachable look. This is particularly useful for brands that want a polished, modern, or high-quality feel. Many contemporary design trends favor minimalism and smooth lines, and rounded corners can enhance these styles.

If you’re looking to produce a very specific corner radius, we can definitely help you out, as long as it is above our .04” radius minimum! Use the Special Instructions field to share your vision with our team of amazing artists, and we will set up the perfect cutline exactly as you want it!
