Need a bespoke packaging solution that won’t let you down? Discover the many advantages custom die cut boxes have to offer. Our sturdy boxes offer ample protection for your products, giving you peace of mind when shipping your goods and reducing the number of damaged deliveries. Well-designed packaging can also help you save on packaging costs; our efficiently produced packaging doesn’t use excess materials, helping you to save money while preserving the planet’s resources.
“Die-cut” boxes are any packaging boxes that require a bespoke cutting tool to be used during the manufacturing process. This unique method of packaging production allows us to create irregular shaped boxes for your products. If you like the look of our standard box styles, we can modify and adjust these designs to suit your needs.
A huge range of additional box fittings can be created using the die cut method too, including a variety of interesting features like handles, locking-tabs, self-seal strips, perforations, fold-over lids and crash-lock bases.
We first create a cutting tool, commonly known in the packaging industry as a “forme”. It’s this forme that stamps out the overall size, shape and style of your box. There’s a one-off cost for creating this forme, often referred to as the “initial tooling charge”. We keep these forme costs to minimum, helping you get your new packaging project into production efficiently.

We can die cut all types of single-wall and double-wall corrugated boxes, Folding Box Board (FBB) boxes and rigid boxes, meaning you can create bread trays, gable boxes and postal boxes for all kinds of products.

In the late 1970s, two friends and colleagues, Tim Allen and Stewart Middleton saw a gap in the market for a different type of packaging supplier. At the time, other businesses were selling custom made boxes and stocking packaging consumables, but Tim and Stewart wanted to offer more than that. They wanted to give their clients additional services, such as warehouse storage and the ability to have their packaging delivered as and when it was required. Packaging Supplies was established, and the rest is history.
