Precision Custom Die Cut Products

Michigan Paper Die can die cut a broad range of substrates, including text or bond paper, cover weight paper, chipboard, corrugated material, many plastic composites, magnetic material, and kiss-cut or sticker stock. Material thickness typically ranges from .002 to .080, or 2-point through 80-point thickness, depending on the project requirements and production specifications.

Custom die cut products can include presentation folders, mailers, folding cartons, packaging inserts, shaped promotional pieces, kiss-cut stickers, windowed cartons, perforated pieces, scored components, and specialty paper constructions. Michigan Paper Die also supports related finishing needs such as embossing, window patching, gluing, folding, tipping, drilling, and hand assembly when the project requires additional production steps.
