Die cutting is like using a cookie cutter to shape your product labels. Imagine you have stickers for your products, and you want them to be more than plain old squares. With die cutting you can make all sorts of shapes like ovals, circles, or even something more unique. By using a metal tool, die cutting can precisely cut your labels into the shapes you desire. It's a way to make your products pop and catch people's eyes when they're out shopping.

1. What is Die Cutting?

   • Think of it as cutting cookies into fun shapes, but instead of cookies, it's labels for products.

   • A metal tool (the "die") cuts labels into specific shapes with precision.

   • This process can make your products stand out with attractive packaging.

2. The Process Behind Die Cutting

   • Materials and Equipment: Starts with label material.

   • The Cutting Tool: A sharp blade in the die cutter trims labels into shape without harming the label backing. This is called a label die cutter.

   • Precision: The cutting has a tiny margin of error, so artwork needs a little extra space around the edges.
