Key Features
Custom Die Cut Boxes — Any Shape Your Brand Demands
Die cut boxes are defined by their departure from standard rectangular geometry — they use custom steel rule dies to cut corrugated or paperboard into any shape the brand requires. This can mean custom structural shapes like auto-lock bottoms and display configurations, or it can mean completely custom outline shapes that create distinctive shelf presence through geometric uniqueness.
Custom die cutting opens packaging possibilities that standard box styles cannot achieve. The shape of the box can echo the product inside, reference brand symbols, create functional features like display handles or tear strips, or simply differentiate the brand through visual distinctiveness at shelf. Our die engineering team works from your design brief or structural requirements to develop die layouts that achieve your objectives within material constraints.
Custom Die Engineering Process
Custom die development begins with your structural brief or design intent. Our engineers develop a die layout that achieves the desired shape within the technical constraints of the substrate — minimum bend radius, material grain direction, structural performance requirements. The die layout is reviewed in digital form before physical tooling is produced. First-article samples from the die are tested before the full production run begins.
Die Cut Features Beyond Outline Shape
Die cutting is used for much more than outline shapes. Perforations create tear strips, vent slots, and easy-open features. Score lines create fold lines for box construction. Slit cuts create hanging tabs and interlocking panels. Cutouts create window openings and handle holes. A single die can incorporate all of these features simultaneously — the die is a comprehensive cutting and scoring tool, not just a shape cutter.
Custom Packaging for South Carolina's Growing Economy
South Carolina's economy has transformed dramatically — it now hosts BMW's largest global manufacturing plant, Boeing's 787 assembly facility, Volvo's North American manufacturing, and a growing technology sector centered in Greenville and Columbia. Charleston has become one of America's most celebrated food and tourism cities. This diverse, growing economy creates demand for packaging across automotive, aerospace, luxury, and consumer categories.
Charleston Luxury and Food Brand Packaging
Charleston is one of America's most charming and culinary-celebrated cities, with a thriving luxury tourism economy and a nationally recognized restaurant and artisan food scene. Packaging for Charleston food brands, luxury retail, and tourism gift products must communicate the city's historic elegance and culinary sophistication.
Greenville Automotive and Manufacturing Packaging
Greenville-Spartanburg has become one of the Southeast's most important manufacturing centers, with BMW, Michelin, GE Aviation, and hundreds of supplier companies. Industrial packaging for automotive components, aerospace parts, and manufacturing supplies for the Upstate South Carolina manufacturing corridor from 50 units.
South Carolina Beach and Tourism Packaging
Myrtle Beach, Hilton Head, and the Carolina coast drive significant tourism packaging demand for beach retail, resort merchandise, and coastal food brands. Seasonal packaging programs for South Carolina's coastal tourism economy are a regular program type.

Die Cut Boxes in South Carolina — FAQs
How much does custom die tooling cost?
Steel rule die tooling for standard packaging sizes ranges from $300-800 for simple shapes. Complex structural dies with multiple features range from $800-2,000+. The die is a one-time investment stored at our facility and reused on every reorder at no additional charge.
How long does custom die development take?
Die engineering and tooling production typically takes 5-7 business days after design approval. This is in addition to the standard production lead time for the printed box run.
