Material designed for inkjet printers, combined with cutting machine compatibility, enables the creation of customized stickers, decals, and labels. This specialized medium allows designs to be printed directly onto its surface, after which a machine precisely cuts the material into the desired shapes. An example application involves designing and printing custom labels for water bottles followed by using a cutting machine to produce individual, die-cut labels ready for application.
The ability to produce personalized items on demand offers significant advantages. It allows for efficient creation of small-batch products, reduces reliance on external printing services, and grants control over the entire design and production process. Historically, achieving detailed, custom-shaped prints required more complex and expensive equipment. This combination brings accessible customization to a wider range of users, from hobbyists to small business owners.
The following sections will explore the types of this material available, the printing process, considerations for selecting the right material, techniques for optimal cutting, and practical applications.
