Die-cutting is what turns a sheet of corrugated board into a shape a standard case cannot be. Locking tabs, hinged lids, integral cushioning, display windows and crash-lock bases all come from the die. We design and manufacture die-cut formats for trade customers whose end users need more than a slotted case.
Design first
Every die-cut project starts in CAD. Our design team builds the structure around the product, the shipping method and the packing process, then cuts a sample on our digital flatbed for fit and drop testing. Only once the sample is approved is production tooling ordered.
Manufactured in one pass
Approved designs run on our high-speed rotary die-cutting line. Print, cutting, creasing, gluing and peel and seal application happen inline, and finished packs are palletised automatically at the end of the line. That single-pass process keeps unit costs down and repeatability high across large production runs.
Typical formats
- Crash-lock and auto-bottom cartons that erect in one movement.
- Shippers with integral retention that remove the need for void fill.
- Hinged-lid presentation boxes for subscription and gift programmes.
- Multi-panel transit packs for awkward or fragile products.
Board efficiency
Die-cut blanks are laid out to minimise waste on the sheet. Where a design allows, we nest multiple blanks per sheet, which reduces board consumption and cost at volume.
