Review your packaging as a physical sample

Cardboard Mockup & Packaging Sample Cutting

We cut custom cardboard and paperboard parts on a sample cutting plotter. Turn a box or packaging dieline into a physical sample to review dimensions, folding and product fit.

What can you check with a cut mockup?

A physical sample helps you assess product fit and closure details that can be difficult to judge from a flat drawing. We review the box body, lids, flaps and window details shown in your dieline.

  • Product position and clearance inside the packaging
  • How lids, folds and joints fit together
  • Drawn details such as windows, hanging holes and internal supports

If you already have a dieline

Send the flat layout, finished dimensions and details of the cardboard or paperboard you plan to use. We can then confirm the parts to be cut, folding requirements and sample quantity before quoting.

  • Units and target box dimensions
  • File separating cutting and folding lines
  • Material, thickness and required sample quantity

If you need the dieline first

If you have a product, an existing box or initial dimensions, our box design and dieline service is a separate starting point. Drawing preparation and physical sample cutting are identified as separate items in the quotation.

From sample to production cutting die

Once the sample dimensions and revisions are settled, we can assess a cutting die for your production process. Standard die delivery includes an assembled steel rule die and its plan; blades alone or a plain board can be discussed on request. A mockup, a dieline and a production die are separate deliverables.

Frequently asked questions

1

Is mockup cutting the same as dieline design?

No. Dieline design prepares the digital cutting and folding layout; mockup cutting makes physical cardboard or paperboard parts from it. The two services can be assessed together when needed.

2

Do you also produce printed boxes?

This service covers cardboard and paperboard sample cutting. We do not provide print production. The relationship between supplied artwork and the dieline can be reviewed during drawing preparation.

3

Will the sample arrive folded or flat?

Please specify your preferred delivery format when requesting a quote. The cut parts, folding requirements and sample delivery condition are confirmed for the individual project.

4

Can I order a production die after reviewing the sample?

Yes. Once the drawing and dimensions are settled, a steel rule cutting die can be quoted separately. Ordering a cut mockup does not automatically place a die order.
