What die cutting makes possible

Die cutting uses a custom steel-rule die — a sharp, shaped blade set into a board — to cut and crease packaging in one press stroke. It is how every carton gets its exact shape, and it is also how brands create packaging that looks nothing like a standard box: pillow boxes, hexagonal gift boxes, boxes with handles, windows in the shape of a logo or packs that fold into a counter display.

Creative die-cut ideas

  • Shaped windows that echo your logo or product outline.
  • Pillow and gable boxes for small gifts, sweets and accessories.
  • Built-in handles for carry-home retail packaging.
  • Display cartons with tear-away fronts that become shelf displays.
  • Locking structures that need no glue or tape.

Planning a die-cut design

Start with the dieline. We engineer the structure first, make a sample to test folding and strength, then place your artwork precisely on the template. Once the die is made it can be reused for every repeat order, so later runs are faster and more economical.
