Diecutting

Diecutting

Diecutting is the process of using dies to cut out labels, boxes, and other flat objects from spools or printed sheets. Diecutting can be done on either flatbed or rotary presses. Rotary diecutting is often done inline with printing. Die cutting started as a process of cutting leather for the shoe industry, but is now used by people cutting paper, cardboards, plastics, pressure sensitive adhesive tapes, foam and even thin metal. Laminates used in labels, stamps, and other stickers are usually cut with dies, since a die can cut through the top layer(s) while leaving the bottom intact.

The primary difference between Rotary Die Cutting and Flat Bed Die Cutting is that the Flat Bed is not as fast as the Rotary Machines but the tools (steel rule in a wooden or plastic board rather than CNC Machined Solid Steel) are cheaper. This process lends itself to smaller production runs where it is not as easy to absorb the cost of a Rotary Die Cutting Tool.
