Question
Can you die-cut cards to hold coins and make them fit snugly?
Answer
Yes. Cardstock can be die-cut with circular or custom-shaped openings that hold a coin in place with a friction fit, which is a common approach for coin-keepsake and promotional cards.
- Shape of the cut: the opening can be a simple circle sized to the coin, or a custom shape to match a specific piece.
- Fit: sizing the cut slightly tighter than the coin creates the snug friction hold.
- Depth: the die cut can go fully through the card, or partially so the coin shows on one side only.
- Stock: heavier weights such as 70pt cardstock hold the coin securely and keep the card rigid.
For a build like this, share the coin dimensions and whether you want a full or partial cut when requesting a custom quote.
