What are die cuts used for?

Die cuts are used for rounding off corners, cutting curly openings and holes, creating a non-standard individual shape of a product. This not only changes a presentation of a product but also makes it more functional and sustainable. Die-cutting is often used to be attractive for customers as unusual shapes of a product make a customer stop and glance at the product.
