I'd convince the customer to accept them kiss cut to shape, but then perf cut to square or rectangle, lots of stickers are like this. Most places are fine with this as it also makes peeling the stickers off the backer easier.
We then print/ kiss cut, then perf. It them into 30" x 30" or whatever sheets make sense.... Stack them 100 sheets up, and cut on our sheer.... Every single cut is 100 stickers, so say your sticker is 2" x 2"... On a 30" x 30" sheet, you can fit 15 across, and 15 up and down ... Take maybe 30 minutes to sheer 100 sheets down, and those 100 sheets would yield 22,500 stickers.... And every single one would have 100 stickers... Unless your sheering guy screws up the count.
We do hundreds of thousands of stickers like this a year and it works great. I think 1 customer out of the dozens we've had didn't want rectangle cut.... But it all depends on the use purpose... Most of our customers are industrial users putting it on equipment they manufactured, so having a square backer makes it easier for them and they prefer it
If they won't accept square or rectangle liners.... I'd print them 100 up like suggested above, then pop them out 100 at a time. A 2" x 2" decal won't weight much... So using a scale would be somewhat hard.
You could also measure 100 of them.... Build a little stacker box where the top of the stacker is 100 stickers, or 102-105 stickers.. then just stack to the top, would be faster than weighting if you're willing to give them a few extra stickers per stack... You can get pretty baby on accurate, but I'd rather throw in a few extra stickers then short them.
Personally, if sheering doesn't work... I'd print 5 thousand stickers and time the box stack way vs the weighting way, see which is more accurate and which is faster.
I've had a small scale that could do .5 grams before though.... It took a few stickers for it to register a change in weight. It was a cheap ass kitchen scale, so maybe you can get better and have it be accurate, but that way never worked for me.
