CUT & CREASE SOLUTIONS

High-quality finishing process that adds strength, durability and a professional finish to your products

DIE CUTTING

Die cutting is a process where a specialized sharp steel cutting tool (called a die) is used to cut printed sheets into specific shapes, designs, or patterns. It allows printed materials to be precisely trimmed beyond standard straight edges.

An example would be a product box for cosmetics may be die cut with a window shape, allowing customers to see the product inside while maintaining a structured packaging form.

CREASING

Creasing is a process where a sharp, controlled indentation (a crease line) is created on printed paper or board to allow it to be cleanly folded without cracking, splitting, or damaging the printed surface.

An example would be a luxury packaging box is first creased along fold lines, ensuring it can be assembled neatly without the printed surface cracking or tearing when folded.

KISS CUTTING

Kiss cutting is a cutting process where a blade cuts through the top layer of a material (such as a label or sticker) without cutting through the backing or release liner. This allows the finished pieces to be easily peeled off while still being held together on a sheet or roll.

An example would be a sheet of branded stickers is kiss cut so each sticker can be peeled off individually, while the backing sheet remains intact for easy handling and storage.
