Die Cut is a manufacturing process that uses a custom-made metal die to cut paperboard, corrugated, or other materials into precise shapes. It allows packaging and displays to move beyond simple rectangles, creating unique silhouettes, openings, tabs, handles, and product windows.
Die cutting is commonly used for folding cartons, labels, inserts, and retail displays because it improves both function and presentation. Combined with scoring and folding, die cut components assemble consistently at scale and help deliver a clean, professional finished look.
