Contact SupplierEvery label is a die cut label, but not every label utilizes a custom die. Your labels begin their life when your artwork is printed on a large roll of uncut label material. A “die cut” is achieved by using a metal die tool to cut your label shape into the roll. It may help to visualize a cookie cutter. But die cut labels require extreme precision– the tool must cut through the label material and stop before it cuts through the underlying label liner.
With tens of thousands of die cut tools in stock, we often have the size and shape you need for your specific label project. Standard label shapes are squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals, and we stock the most common sizes to fit virtually any container.
Custom die cut labels require a new die cut tool, which adds some production time and an additional cost to your project. Even if your labels use a common shape, they may be an uncommon size. We will often recommend the closest die size we have in our inventory to save you money, especially when the size difference between your specifications and our tooling is minimal. Truly custom shapes on the other hand, such as asymmetrical shapes, and shapes sized to fit specific unique containers, will almost always require a new die. By using the dieline from your label artwork, we can customize your die-cut labels to fit your application perfectly.
