About

DESCRIPTION

Beyond the Standard Rectangle Custom Die-Cutting is the professional standard for defining the physical boundary of your card. By utilizing custom-engineered steel rule dies and heavy-duty hydraulic pressure, we move beyond the standard industrial guillotine cut. This process allows for flawlessly executed outer contours and radii, transforming a simple piece of Premium Stock into a custom-shaped brand asset that fits perfectly in the hand.

Edge & Corner Configurations

  • Square Corners: The classic, authoritative standard. We utilize high-precision cutting technology to ensure 90-degree sharp corners with zero fiber fraying, maintaining a sharp, professional look on any Premium Stock.

  • Round Corners: A sophisticated way to soften the tactile experience. Beyond the modern aesthetic, round corners are highly functional—they resist “dog-earing” and corner wear, ensuring your card remains pristine after months in a wallet.

  • Custom Shape (Outer Contour): Break the mold with custom external silhouettes. Whether it’s a unique geometric curve or a shape following your brand’s logo profile, our custom dies provide consistent, repeatable accuracy for every single card in your order.

Technical Pre-press Insight

For Custom Die-Cutting, a dedicated die-line layer must be provided in 100% vector format. Unlike laser cutting, which can handle microscopic internal detail, physical die-cutting is optimized for external shapes and radius corners. For custom contours, ensure that any sharp interior angles have a minimum radius of 1mm to ensure a clean, physical punch without stressing the paper fibers of the Premium Stock.
