What's the difference between Peterkin's standard die cut shapes and custom die cutting?

Peterkin Standard Shapes

Peterkin has a large selection of die cut shapes that are available to order across a range of sizes to accompany your printing. Our die cut shapes are suitable for both digital printing and for letterpress, foiling, embossing and double-thick (duplexed) stocks. You must use our templates to position your artwork correctly.

We also have die cutting for envelope liners, tags and place cards, pockets and sleeves.

Custom Die Cut Shapes

Custom die lines are unique shapes created by you and exclusive for your use (it's your design and no one else can use it!). You'll need to use Adobe Illustrator or Indesign to create a Vector die line with the pen tool or similar. It's not possible to create Vector die lines in Canva at the moment.

You can order:

Custom Digital die cutting for simple shaped digital printing on standard thickness stocks.

Custom Laser die cutting for complex shaped digital printing on standard thickness stocks.

Custom Traditional die cutting for double-thick (duplexed stocks), letterpress, foiling or embossing.
