Determine which paper die cutting provider best meets your service needs

Not all commercial paper die cutting providers offer the same services; some specialize in paper dies, while others focus on plastic or steel. Die cutting services also range depending upon the type of die cutting machines available. Be sure the die cutting company has the capabilities to effectively produce your desired paper die cutting product.

I recommend: Use Global Spec to search for commercial paper die cutting providers by laser, rotary or steel rule paper dies. EMI Specialty Papers provides high speed rotary die cutting and paper laser die cutting. Gleicher Manufacturing Company uses flat bed, rotary and paper laser die cutting machines to produce paper dies. Colvin-Friedman focuses on die cutting services for materials that are not metal, including paper, and offers rotary, matched metal and laser steel rule die cutting.

Compare written price quotes from several paper cutting dies providers

The cost for die cutting services varies depending upon the intricacy of the paper cutting dies, the type of paper selected and the turnaround time. Get several written quotes to determine the best price. Don't forget to ask if shipping is included in the price estimate.

I recommend: Print USA provides a convenient online quote form. Simply complete the form with detailed information about your die cutting project to receive production estimates from several printers in one to three days. Gleicher Manufacturing Corporation also offers an online quote request and offers to send samples of their products free of charge. At PSPrint, custom paper dies start at $100, and the prices goes up depending upon size and complexity.

Evaluate which paper die cutting provider can best meet your product deadline

The turnaround time for your paper die cutting project depends upon the type of paper die cutting machine used and how detailed your paper die is. Very intricate paper dies require a longer turnaround time than simple shapes.

I recommend: Colvin-Friedman guarantees a price quote in two days and promises to deliver your paper die cutting job by your due date. For a faster turnaround time, consider PSPrint’s Die Gallery, which includes hundreds of standard paper dies with no custom set up time or charge.
