In the print industry, die cutting is a process performed by a specialized machine to produce unique cutout shapes. Creative designs are turned into eye-catching cutout boxes, stickers, and many other items that highlight your product and promote your brand.

This automated process enables OlymPak to produce large quantities of unique die cut packaging and promotional products at an affordable price. We take your design and create a specialized die cut product that meets exact specifications and results in a product that makes your brand immediately identifiable.

Think of a die cutter as a cookie cutter. The shape of the die is the exact shape that gets cut into the substrate. Simply put, it is a metal tool with a raised sharp edge for cutting. Dies come in a few different forms, including thin metal dies and steel-rule dies. Steel rule dies are typically more durable and can cut thicker materials.

At OlymPak we use many different types of dies that come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and styles. Each die is carefully selected or custom designed to meet individual project needs.

A custom die is created based on the approved structural design of your packaging. The exact cutting and creasing pattern is transferred to a durable die board, where precision-formed steel rules are positioned to create the cuts, folds, scores, and other features needed for the finished package. Once complete, the die is installed in our die-cutting equipment to consistently transform printed sheets into the exact shape required for your packaging.
