Die cutting

Die cutting cuts printed materials into almost any shape using a cutting die or laser. It allows stickers, tags, business cards and packaging to take shapes other than a rectangle.

Examples of use

  • Custom-shaped stickers and labels,
  • Hang tags and identification labels,
  • Boxes and packaging,
  • Shaped business cards and invitations.

Preparing your files

Supply the cutting shape as a separate vector path (cutting outline) in a spot color. The artwork should include bleed beyond the cutting outline.
