It is very common for the facestock of the label to be die
cut in sections or specific shapes. Die cutting the facestock is used more often
than perforations on the labels. The die cut is accomplished by using a die
which is basically made up of cutting blades that are formed into the desired
shape. The die will cut through the facestock only and not through the liner.
Labels can be die cut into sections
so that they can be separated
individually from the rest of the label.
Labels can be die cut into most any shape that you
request.
A label can have one or more slits die cut on it
or a tab may be slit at one end to make the labels easier to remove
from the liner.
Manufacturers have standard
dies in stock but if you need a special size or shape, a custom
die can be ordered for an additional charge. This charge is
generally a one time charge and not applied to exact reorders.
