Custom Die Cut Foam Board Solutions

Custom die cut foam board is commonly used for point-of-purchase displays, presentation pieces, product inserts, signage components, promotional kits, and specialty packaging elements. The value comes from producing consistent shapes at scale, especially when a project needs clean edges, repeatable tolerances, windows, holes, tabs, or custom contours that would be slow or inconsistent by hand.

Yes. Michigan Paper Die can work from supplied die-line files, typically including EPS files, laser proofs, mockups, or press sheets. Their team reviews electronic information before production to identify missing or conflicting instructions. When possible, importing an existing dieline speeds up setup, supports accurate die construction, and helps reduce revisions before the job reaches full production.

A prototype is strongly recommended for custom shapes, specialty displays, or pieces with tight assembly requirements. Michigan Paper Die creates detailed mockups during pre-production so the structure can be reviewed before the die is built. This helps confirm dimensions, fit, folds, cutouts, and material behavior, reducing the risk of costly production changes later.

Michigan Paper Die applies its Quality First policy to production jobs. The process includes organizing job details, reviewing proofs and mockups, checking die condition, pulling sheets during make-ready and production, and documenting results. A Quality Control Report is provided with each job, giving customers helpful notes, samples, proofs, and procedure details for accountability.

Turnaround depends on the complexity of the dieline, material, quantity, finishing requirements, and whether a new die must be constructed. Michigan Paper Die is known for fast turnaround because die construction, mockups, die cutting, and finishing support can be coordinated in-house. For time-sensitive work, early file review and complete project specifications help protect the schedule.

Michigan Paper Die’s automatic die-cutters can perform more than simple cutting. Depending on the material and project requirements, they can score, kiss-cut, perforate, and remove interior waste in-line. This can simplify production by combining multiple actions in one pass and reducing the need for separate trimming, punching, or hand-finishing steps.

Yes. One of Michigan Paper Die’s strengths is designing production methods that reduce unnecessary hand work. Their team may recommend die-cut features, folding approaches, gluing options, tipping, drilling, or hand bindery only where it adds value. The goal is to keep the finished piece accurate and attractive while controlling labor, handling, and turnaround time.

Yes. Michigan Paper Die offers warehouse and fulfillment support alongside production. Their facility includes approximately 20,000 square feet of storage space, inventory management systems, two loading areas, and daily UPS and FedEx pickups. This allows customers to move from manufacturing into storage, shipping, or distribution without needing a separate fulfillment partner.
