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.

Pallet Cap Cutting
Custom-cut pallet top sheets and layer pads from corrugated material to protect stacked products.
Gaylord Modification

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.

Custom Cutting Questions
Can you cut used boxes to custom sizes?
Yes. In fact, modifying used boxes is one of our most popular services. You get the cost savings of used packaging plus the perfect fit of custom sizing.
What is the smallest box you can cut?
We can cut boxes as small as 4×4×4 inches. For very small items, we can also create custom mailer boxes and small parts boxes.
Is there an extra charge for custom cutting?
There is a modest per-box cutting fee on top of the box cost. The fee depends on the complexity of the modification. Simple height reduction is less expensive than multi-score custom shapes.
Can I provide my own boxes for cutting?
Absolutely. If you have boxes that are the wrong size, bring them in or schedule a pickup and we will cut them to your specifications.
Do you offer design help for custom packaging?
Yes. Our team can help you determine the optimal box size for your product, including padding allowances and DIM weight optimization.
What is the maximum box size you can cut?
We can work with sheets and boxes up to 96 inches in any dimension. For larger custom needs, contact us to discuss options.
