Die Cutting Benefits
Die Cutting | Custom Shape Packaging Production
Die cutting transforms flat board into shaped packaging using precision steel-rule dies. Every custom box shape, window cutout, perforation, and fold line begins with die cutting technology.
Standard and custom dies. Cutting, creasing, and perforating in one operation. 3-5 day die production. Stored for future reorders.
Shaping Your Packaging
Die cutting is the manufacturing process that transforms flat printed board into shaped packaging components. Custom steel-rule dies cut board into any shape, create fold lines, perforate tear-strips, and punch window openings. Every non-rectangular packaging element relies on die cutting technology.
Steel-Rule Die Technology
Our steel-rule dies are precision-manufactured from hardened steel blades mounted in wooden bases. Cutting rules slice through board cleanly. Creasing rules create fold lines without cutting. Perforating rules create tear lines. The combination of these elements in a single die produces complete packaging blanks in one press operation.

Die Cutting FAQs
What is die cutting?
Die cutting uses custom steel-rule dies to cut, crease, and perforate flat board into shaped packaging components. It is the fundamental process for producing non-rectangular packaging shapes.
How long does it take to make a die?
Standard dies are produced in 3-5 working days. Complex dies may require additional time. Once made, dies are stored for future reorders at no additional cost.
Is there a cost for the die?
Yes, custom dies have a one-time tooling cost that varies with size and complexity. The die is then used for all subsequent production runs without additional tooling charges.
Can dies create perforations and fold lines?
Yes, a single die can incorporate cutting rules, creasing rules, and perforating rules to create complete packaging blanks including all folds, tears, and cuts in one operation.
How precise is die cutting?
Steel-rule die cutting achieves precision of approximately 0.5mm. For applications requiring higher precision, laser cutting is available as an alternative.
