3 Ways to Use Die Cutting For Your Print Products

A unique way to make your print products stand out is to incorporate die cutting. By using die-cutting in your print project, you will find endless ideas and ways to be creative. From cut-outs on greeting cards to custom shaped business cards, there are many ways to use this technique in your Lake of the Ozarks print materials. While die-cutting may not be a well-known option, it's a wonderful way to bring your print product to the next level.



What is Die-Cutting?

Die-cutting is a process that is used in many different industries to cut a thin, flat material (in many cases, paper) into certain shapes using a steel cutting die. For greeting cards and other special designs, you can use it to punch out a decorative shape or pattern to include on a larger piece of paper. You can also cut a shape out of paper to be the main focus, like for custom shaped business cards. This process can be used for many different projects, paper types, shapes, and styles.


Business Cards

A great advantage to die cutting is that you can choose the shape of your print material. When you want your business cards to stand out, and represent your business effectively and creatively, die-cutting could be a great choice. You can choose from many different shapes that are not common for business cards, but will be interesting and a great way to catch your customer's eye. A circle business card may not be popular, but if you own a restaurant it could double as a coaster and help keep your logo in front of your customers even more. If you want to stick with a traditional shape, but still make your cards interesting we can use die-cutting to round the corners of your cards - making them unique while still the traditional size.


Custom Packaging

If you have created a product, and you need custom packaging at the Lake of the Ozarks, die-cutting could be just what you need to achieve the right look. From unique boxes to specially designed envelopes, there are many ways you can incorporate die-cutting into your print materials to create a professional look for your print products.


Unique Shapes and Windows

Die cutting is a great choice when you need special shapes or cut-out windows. If you use hang tags in your business, and you need them shaped a certain way, die cutting can be a great way to achieve this look. You can also utilize die-cutting for custom shaped coasters, greeting cards, and custom cards and mailings. If you need a window cut out of your pamphlet or book cover, you can incorporate die-cutting as well to help create a three-dimensional look in your print materials.


Scoring

While you may think of die-cutting specifically for cutting through materials, it can also be used to score paper. Scoring allows you to create a "bend" in your paper, making it ideal for brochures and custom boxes. We can use die-cutting to cut out custom shaped packaging or boxes, and then we'll use scoring to make it easier to fold and construct the shape.
