Diecut's are cut to the shape of the sticker. For example if you made a Nike, the diecut would only include the Nike symbol, where as a regular sticker would have a clear sticky background.

die cuts are like individual stickers, all on a backing, with a clear sheet on top. so when applying, you peel off the clear part off the backing, and the letters/ logos peel off with it. then you stick that on your helmet or what ever, and peel off the clear top, and everything else stays on. Click for larger image this is a die cut. all of the letters are separate. a sticker is just one piece. i hope that helped.

die cuts are the kind that have 2 sides and little pieces of vinyl in between. You know you peel off the translucent top then stick it something then peel that off too and it leaves a sticker. A sticker you just peel off the sticker all the parts are connected. Its called a die cut because the die cuts are cut out of sheets of vinyl with this super sharp needle like thing called a die.

Die cut are the stickers that when applied only a thin cut out section stays while a sticker is an entire picture.

You mean how do you make a diecut?
You first need a sheet of vinyl and a design. A vinyl

That's it. Usually diecut vinyls have a clear layer under the actual sticker..
Like this:

It lets you keep the sticker in perfect shape when sticking it wherever you want.
