Custom Shape Paper Labels, Laser Cut to Any Outline
Custom shape paper labels are a versatile, cost-effective choice for product branding, packaging and promotional stickers. Unlike standard die-cut labels that are limited to fixed circles, squares and rectangles, these are laser cut with no die or tooling, so we can follow your own custom outline and print sizes all the way up to 300 x 300mm.
Printed on cast gloss paper with a strong permanent adhesive, they deliver vibrant colour and a clean professional finish for handmade goods, retail packaging and events.
Why choose custom shape labels
- Any shape, no die charge: laser cutting is die-free, so bespoke outlines cost no more than a standard shape.
- Big sizes: 20 bounding-box sizes from 30 x 30mm up to 300 x 300mm, well beyond our kiss-cut range.
- Paper film: printed on premium cast gloss paper with a choice of 4 finishes (gloss or matt varnish, gloss or matt laminate).
- Full colour CMYK on an HP Indigo digital press, supplied on rolls of 500 on 76mm cores.
- Free delivery Australia-wide and 2 free proofs on every order.
Ideal for product labels, packaging seals, jar and bottle labels, event stickers and any brand that wants a shape of its own. Indoor use, printed both from your supplied artwork and cut to your outline.

Artwork Guidelines
Artwork Guidelines for Custom Shape Labels
- Any shape you like: laser cutting needs no die or tooling, so we can cut to almost any outline. Supply your artwork on an artboard at the ordered size (the bounding box, e.g. 100 x 100mm) plus bleed.
- Cut line: include your cut outline as a separate spot colour path named “CutContour”, or tell us in your order notes and we will draw it to your shape at proof.
- Bleed: add 2mm bleed beyond the cut line so the print runs right to the edge.
- Safe area: keep text and logos at least 3mm inside the cut line.
- Files: PDF, AI or EPS with fonts outlined, CMYK, 300dpi. Upload with your order and we check it at the proof stage.
A note on solid black and dark colours
Choosing a matt finish? Matt varnishes and laminates soften ink colour: large areas of solid black and very dark colours such as navy, deep green and burgundy print softer and lighter than they appear on screen, and this cannot be shown on a screen proof. If a true jet black or a deep, saturated dark colour is essential to your design, choose a gloss finish, or contact us before ordering and we will help you choose.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you really cut any shape?
Yes. Laser cutting is die-free, so we can follow almost any outline, from simple rounded rectangles to detailed custom silhouettes. Supply your cut path or describe the shape and we will set it up at the proof stage.
How is this different from your standard circle, square and rectangle labels?
Our standard roll labels are kiss-cut to fixed circle, square and rectangle sizes using a die. Custom shape labels are laser-cut to your own outline with no die required, and go all the way up to 300 x 300mm for large decals.
What size should my artwork be?
Set your artwork up at the bounding-box size you order (for example 100 x 100mm), plus 2mm bleed. Your shape sits inside that box. The label is supplied on a roll.
Are the labels supplied on a roll or a sheet?
On a roll of 500 labels on 76mm diameter cores, ready for hand or machine application.
What file format do you need?
PDF, AI or EPS with fonts outlined, set up in CMYK at 300dpi with 2mm bleed. Include your cut outline as a named spot path or tell us in the order notes.
Do you offer proofs?
Yes, 2 free proofs are included with every order. Additional proofs are $25 plus GST each.
Are these suitable for outdoor use?
They are rated for indoor use and are not UV stable for long-term outdoor exposure. For short outdoor promotions the waterproof synthetic film is the most durable option.
