Question
How do I distinguish between 'basic' and 'complex' shapes when ordering die-cut products?
Answer
The difference comes down to how intricate the cut line is, which affects the tooling and the price.
| Type | Examples |
|---|---|
| Basic | Rectangles, squares, rounded corners, minor modifications |
| Complex | Intricate outlines, irregular curves, detailed silhouettes |
- Straightforward shapes with small tweaks are considered basic.
- Detailed or irregular outlines are considered complex.
- When you are unsure, send a mockup or screenshot of your design so the team can price it accurately.
