Disrupt the straight lines of the ordinary
Everyone knows that as a general rule, breaking up straight lines is one of the best ways to grab attention. But it’s not always obvious that this can apply to printed media too.
Die cut direct mail pieces, for example, stand-out massively compared to the common A5, DL or A6 sizes.
It’s not just for leaflets and mailers though – you’ll achieve amazing results from die cut brochure covers, swing tags, posters or product packaging.
What is die cut printing?
This is the method we use to cut special shapes (IE anything other than rectangle or square). It means you can create a custom shaped direct mailer, leaflet etc. Die cutting is also what we use to create a cut-out section in the middle of a brochure cover or packaging card.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How does die cutting work?
Die cut printing requires a customised die to create the shape. You’ll need to supply us with the outline of your shape so that we can check it over and then have it converted into the die. Be careful of sharp corners or deep troughs in the outline though as they’re likely to need smoothing out or rounding off to make it work.
What do I need to look out for when designing a die cut leaflet?
There’s not much you need to know about this as it is very straightforward for you to organise and we’ll do all the hard work for you. Just make sure that you’re not overdoing the die cut so that the flyer becomes weak (IE, don’t leave very thin strips of card by having the die cut area too close to the edge of the page). If you want to go really detailed with your cut pattern, it’s time to move over to laser-cutting.
Are there any sizes that work best for die cut mailers?
The main thing to remember is to make sure your design fits within a standard envelope size if you’re posting them out. It isn’t fun to find that your spectacular new die cut leaflet takes your mailing into the next band of postage!
