Words of the Week

Hello again. I got to pick the words of the week and I thought I'd post some that might be useful to know for your packaging project.

Die
: A pattern or design of sharp blades that, when mounted on a press, are used to cut shapes out of paper or board.

Hairline Rule
: Traditionally, the thinnest line that is possible to print. Usually 0.25 point.

Tummy Band
: A strip of paper containing a sales message fixed around the middle of a publication [or package]. Also called a belly band.

Good luck finishing up!

  1. I find it funny all the uses for the word die. The one you gave here, the singular of dice, and then of course, death. They are so unrelated, yet they use the same word.
