kiss cut; half cut
A manufacturing term for a cut that goes only partway through a material, often used for stickers, labels, or packaging where the top layer is cut but the backing remains intact.
This sticker has a kiss cut, so it's easy to peel off the backing.
Using kiss-cut technology, you can neatly produce labels with complex shapes.
Borrowed from English 'half cut', referring to a partial cut that does not go all the way through the material.
