Cutting dies for packaging and box inserts
Steel rule dies for cutting cardstock, folding cartons and box inserts to your drawing.
From one prototype to steady production
Packaging pieces need to be identical so they fold, fit and stack the same way. A steel rule die cuts the same outline every time, from your first sample run onward.
Common jobs
Cardstock
Tags, cards and paper shapes.
Folding cartons
Carton blanks from your dieline.
Box inserts
Paper and foam inserts that hold products in place.
