We create prototypes for every packaging product at Moquin Press before we print, score, die cut, fold and glue. This helps ensure that your product is accurate to your specifications. Have our structural design team create an initial prototype of your design and supply you with the die lines to lay your artwork!

  • Analyze the dimensions
  • Shape the consumer experience by putting it together
  • Test the manufacturing filling process
  • Drop-test for package security
  • Modify and perfect your design

Equipped with the latest technology, our award-winning team makes sure your artwork is set up correctly to print and transform into a physical product. Printing is extremely complex, especially when converting multi-layered finishes and intricate designs. Our prepress team has decades of awarded print and packaging experience!

Steel rule dies are durable and dependable. Designed using a custom steel rule and a die base, our steel rule dies are created for long-lasting durability. 

Using your artwork file, we cut a high-density birch board on our routing table, bend and lay the cutting-edge rule and finish with an ejection rubber overlay. After the steel rule die cut process, we will retain your die in our warehouse for future production, saving you time and money.

The die making process is a true form of art, and typically outsourced by companies today. Our team takes great pride in creating our own custom dies and we encourage you to come and witness the process!
