The Power of Die Cutting
Die cutting is a proven production technique in which a sharp cutting die cuts identical shapes out of flat materials. It offers unmatched speed and repeatability for the series production of paper, cardboard, plastic and flexible materials.
From packaging and labels to gaskets and displays, die cutting enables the fast production of complex shapes with consistent quality on every run.
Types of Die Cutting
Flatbed Die Cutting
A flat cutting die is pressed into the material under pressure. Ideal for thicker materials and small to medium runs.
- Suitable for thicker materials
- Accurate cutting lines
- Cost-effective for small runs
Rotary Die Cutting
A cylindrical cutting die cuts continuously as the material feeds through. Perfect for high volumes and thin materials.
- Very high production speed
- Ideal for large runs
- Consistent quality
Digital Die Cutting
Cutting without a physical die using a computer-controlled blade. Ideal for prototypes, short runs and rapidly changing designs.
- No tooling costs
- Fast design changeover
- Perfect for prototypes
Benefits of Die Cutting
High Speed
Thousands of identical parts per hour are possible, ideal for efficient series production.
Perfect Repeatability
Every shape cut identically, with minimal variation between parts.
Complex Shapes
From simple contours to intricate designs with holes, perforations and fold lines.
Cost-effective
Low cost per part at high volumes thanks to fast, automated production.
Materials for Die Cutting
- Paper and cardboard
- Plastic films and sheets
- Foam
- Rubber and gasket material
- Fabrics and textiles
- Self-adhesive materials and labels
Applications of Die Cutting
Packaging
Boxes, blisters, inlays and display packaging with complex fold lines and windows.
Labels & Stickers
Self-adhesive labels, stickers and tags in any desired shape and size.
Industrial Components
Gaskets, insulation parts, seals and technical components for a wide range of industries.
