From the label on your clothes to the label stuck on the cup of coffee you just bought, the industry is booming. In today's video, we are going to demonstrate how you can print and cut labels using the FlexiPRINT and FlexiSTARTER setup from [AM.CO.ZA](https://am.co.za/). We will then touch on what is contour cutting. First up, let's take a look at the process of designing, printing and vinyl-cutting labels, which you can see in this easy-to-follow video: [https://youtu.be/COHSwQuiCng](https://youtu.be/COHSwQuiCng)Watch Video on YouTube: [https://youtu.be/COHSwQuiCng](https://youtu.be/COHSwQuiCng) The process of label printing starts off with the design of your label. Using FlexiSTARTER, your design is imported so that you can get the design ready for print. You will want to create multiple instances of your logo, to make use of the space on the paper. From here, the design file is exported and saved, so that it can then be imported into FlexiPRINT.

But first we need to discuss what the difference is between contour cutting and normal cutting. [Contour cutting](https://buythis.co.za/business-vinyl-cutters#ai) uses a computer-guided cutting process to cut around the outer edge of a printed image following the contour of the design, but with normal cutting, the design is cut out. [Contour cutting](https://buythis.co.za/v3-1663#ai) lets you cut around an object, and when the object is cut out, the remainder of the shape is left behind. Then there is also manual and automatic contour cutting.
