Die-cut retail boxes cut to any shape, made in Chittagong EPZ
When a slotted carton will not do, a die-cut box will. A custom steel-rule die cuts and creases the board to your exact outline, so a single piece can carry product windows, locking tabs, hang holes and integral inserts — printed, shelf-ready and folding flat for shipping, made in-house at our Chittagong EPZ plant in Bangladesh.
One die, endless shapes
A die-cut box is shaped by a steel-rule die — a custom tool whose blades cut the outline and whose creasing rules score the folds — rather than the fixed slots of a standard carton. That freedom is the whole point: in one pass through the same board you can add a clear-free product window, a tuck-and-lock closure that needs no tape, finger holes, a Euro hang slot, or fitments that hold the product in place. The blank still folds flat, so it ships and stores efficiently and sets up at the pack station.
We run die-cutting, printing and finishing in-house, so artwork, cut and crease are proofed together. A new shape needs a one-time die and print plates; from there we make a pre-production sample so you can check the fit, the lock action and the print before the full run. E and B flutes give the fine, smooth surface that retail print and crisp creasing demand, while heavier grades suit self-locking shippers and protective inserts.

Self-locking closures and bases that set up by hand, speeding up the packing line.
For shelves and special shapes
Choose die-cut whenever the pack has to look good on a shelf, show the product, hang on a peg, lock together without tape, or take a custom outline — from retail cartons and gift boxes to pizza boxes and fast-food packaging. The one-time tooling pays back fast on repeat retail runs.

Die-cut box FAQs
What is a die-cut box?
A die-cut box is cut and creased by a custom steel-rule die rather than standard slotting, so it can take almost any shape. That freedom lets us add product windows, locking tabs, hang holes, integral inserts and self-locking bases in one piece of board.
Do die-cut boxes need a printing plate and a die?
Yes. A new shape needs a one-time cutting die, and printed artwork needs plates. We make and prove the die in-house and supply a pre-production sample so you approve fit and print before the full run.
Are die-cut boxes only for retail?
No. While they are popular for shelf-ready retail packs, die-cutting also produces self-locking shippers, fitments and protective inserts that assemble without tape, which speeds up packing lines.
