What We Can Do

Resize & Trim

Take a larger box and cut it down to the dimensions you need. Reduce shipping costs by eliminating wasted void space.

Score & Fold

Add custom score lines to create new fold points. Convert flat sheets into custom box shapes for your products.

Slit & Separate

Split larger boxes or sheets into smaller sections. Create dividers, partitions, and pads from existing materials.

Die-Cut Conversion

For recurring orders, we can create die-cut templates for consistent, repeatable custom box production.

Pallet Cap Cutting

Custom-cut pallet top sheets and layer pads from corrugated material to protect stacked products.

Gaylord Modification

Reduce gaylord height, add hand holes, or modify flap configurations to suit your specific application.

Why Custom Cutting?

Reduce Shipping Costs

Right-sized boxes reduce dimensional weight charges and eliminate excessive void fill material.

Better Product Protection

A snug-fitting box provides better cushioning and reduces product movement during transit.

Save on Material Costs

Instead of buying new custom boxes, modify existing or used boxes at a fraction of the price.

Quick Turnaround

Most custom cutting orders can be completed within 1-2 business days.
