Die cutting allows us to create unique and custom shapes
If you've ever seen paper that was cut in to a unique shape (oval, star, shape of a state, etc), chances are it was die cut.
Paper is normally cut with a traditional paper cutter with straight edges. Special tools must be used to create shapes that are different from a square or rectangle.
Letterpresses can be set up easily to die cut. We can design the shape using software programs and place an order with a company that specializes in die cutting. Instead of setting up the press with a photopolymer plate to imprint a design, the sharp edge of the die will punch out the desired shape during the printing process.
