Die cutting started as a process of cutting leather for the shoe industry in the mid-19th century. [5] It is now sophisticated enough to cut through just one layer of a laminate, so it is now used on labels, postage stamps, and other stickers; this type of die cutting is known as kiss cutting. [6]
Ray Stanton Avery (January 13, 1907 – December 12, 1997) was an American inventor, [1] most known for creating self-adhesive labels (modern stickers).Using a $100 loan from his then-fiancé Dorothy Durfee, and combining used machine parts with a saber saw, he created and patented the world's first self-adhesive (also called pressure sensitive) die-cut labeling machine.
"Gulp Oil", a parody of Gulf Oil; a sticker from the 11th series (1974). Wacky Packages returned in 1973 as peel-and-stick stickers. From 1973 to 1977, 16 different series were produced and sold, originally (with Series 1–15) in 5-cent packs containing three (later reduced to two) stickers, a stick of bubble gum and a puzzle piece with a sticker checklist on the back of it.
The machines Avery pioneered used a die-cutting process, allowing the paper to be cut into a repeated, specific shape, usually a rectangle or a square. In the 1960s, further innovations, increasing demand, and new kinds of adhesives were produced, and self-adhesive labels began to be manufactured on a large scale to a worldwide market. [1]
