What is "Die Cut"?

Die-cutting is a post-printing process that involves the cutting of printed materials or other paper products into specific shapes using a pre-designed die. This allows the printed items, such as paper gift bags, paper packaging boxes, greeting cards, hang tags, or leaflets, to have shapes beyond straight edges and right angles. In traditional die-cutting production, a die-cutting tool is created by combining the die according to the design requirements of the product. Under pressure, the printed materials or other sheet-like substrates are cut or creased into the desired shapes or indentations.
