Short answer: A die cut bin box is an open-top or open-front corrugated bin, cut and folded from a single flat blank. Retailers use them as dump bins and promotional displays, and operations use them to stock and organize product. Packaging Source Inc. designs and manufactures custom die cut bin boxes with printing, laminating and finishing options.
What is a die cut bin box?
A bin box is a tray-style box that holds loose or stacked product and lets shoppers or staff reach in easily. When it is die cut, a custom steel-rule die cuts and creases the corrugated sheet so the bin folds up without tape and ships flat. Printed graphics on the front and sides turn a simple container into a selling tool. For examples, see our direct print flexo dump bin.

Benefits of corrugated bin boxes
- Brand visibility. Large printed panels carry your logo, offer and product photography.
- Ships flat. Blanks take up little space until assembled.
- Quick to set up. Self-locking designs fold together without tools.
- Cost-effective for promotions. Corrugated suits temporary programs without a large investment.
- Recyclable material. Corrugated board is widely accepted in recycling programs.
Printing and finishing options
Bin boxes can be direct printed or finished with a laminated litho label for high-resolution graphics. See die cut printed boxes for a comparison of print methods, and our POP displays for more ways to merchandise product.
