Custom Die Cutting: Stand out from the Crowd

Have a unique shape that you want to use for your printed pieces? Look no further, at SUN we can cut most any custom shape using a method called die cutting.

What is die cutting?

Die cutting uses a machine that applies pressure to cut out shapes from paper. By die cutting, you can achieve amazing intricate cut out pieces that you wouldn’t typically be able to cut with scissors. Typically die cuts are created for product tags, business cards, pocket folders, door hangers, envelope liners, and more.

What is a die?

A die is a metal shape with a sharp cutting edge which is pressed into your chosen paper stock on our letterpress machine – a bit like a cookie cutter. Dies can be used over and over to create the same shape, each with the same dimensions giving you a professional finish every time.
