The Basics of Custom Die Cut Boxes

Custom printed die cut boxes have created demand with their ability to be tailored into required sizes and shapes. Their use expands across several industries and brands employ these boxes to gain maximum marketing benefits. Made from various sorts of materials, die cut boxes serve various purposes. They can be tailored into small die cut boxes to pack and dispatch small items. Brands mold them into sturdy shipping boxes to ship heavy, luxury, fragile, or gift items over long distances. Clients can emboss them to make high-quality gift boxes. Designers can add custom inserts and add-on features to amplify their functionality and appeal. Bulk sellers can sell their items in custom die cut boxes tailored with materials that are light on pocket and effectively display their items.

Making Die Cut Boxes

Designers use hi-tech die-cutting machines in required sizes and shapes. The required design is given to the machine through a digital prototype. The machine will create a die line according to the given template. A similar method is used to add die cut windows in the boxes. These display windows let clients observe and analyze the packed items. The die-cutting machines operate as per the given rules, each giving a unique effect to the materials.

These Include:

1.    Through-cutting: As the name implies, die-cut machines cut through the material to create various sorts of patterns in the boxes.  
2.    Creasing: As per this method, die-cut machines create stress spots in the boxes. Creating these stress spots in parallel forms creates flexibility in the packaging. Thus, designers can easily mold the packaging to create different shapes.
3.    Scoring: The major purpose of scoring is other than cutting through the materials. Designers limit the extent of cutting by defining boundaries through scoring. They also create stress spots to mold the boxes into required shapes.
4.    Perforation: As the name suggests, designers create a line of holes or perforations in this process. This weakens the specific part of the boxes that can be bent or torn easily.

Explore Various Types of Die Cut Boxes

Several brands and industries use custom die cut boxes for various purposes. To carry out these several tasks, designers tailor them with materials, layouts, and designs. These different types of die cut boxes include:
