Die Cutting FAQs
Die cutting is a manufacturing process used to cut, shape, or form materials into specific shapes or patterns using a die, which is a specialized tool or mold. The die, typically made from hardened steel, is pressed onto the material (which could be paper, plastic, metal, rubber, or foam) to create precise and consistent shapes.
2.1 Design & Die Creation: Starting with a detailed CAD design, the next step involves crafting a custom die from durable, hardened metal, which is used to precisely cut the material into the desired shape.
2.2 Material Selection and Preparation: Materials are selected based on the specific application, with options such as paper, rubber, metal, and foam being commonly used. The chosen material is then prepared by cutting it into sheets or rolls, depending on the die cutting method employed.
2.3 Application of Pressure: Using flatbed or rotary die cutting machines, pressure is applied to cut the material into the desired shape. In flatbed die cutting, the material stays in place, while rotary die cutting involves a continuous feed of the material.
2.4 Cutting Process: The die cuts along the design’s edges, shaping the material perfectly. Any leftover material is separated, leaving only the parts we need for the next steps in the process.
2.5 Finishing and Inspection: After the cutting process, the parts go through finishing touches like embossing and folding. We carefully inspect them to make sure they meet all quality standards, and only the best parts are sent out for packaging or production.
- High Precision and Consistency: Die cutting ensures precise and consistent cuts, guaranteeing that each part is identical.
- Cost-Effective for Large Volumes: Its ability to efficiently produce large quantities with minimal waste reduces per-unit costs, making it ideal for high-volume manufacturing.
- Versatility in Materials: From paper to rubber, foam to metal, die cutting works with almost any material.
- Speed and Efficiency: Once the die is established, it enables quick production of parts, allowing manufacturers to meet stringent production timelines.
- Clean, Precise Cuts: Die cutting gives you clean, smooth cuts with very little waste—perfect for applications like medical device packaging, where precision is a must.
- Complex Shapes and Designs: Die cutting allows for complex design elements without sacrificing efficiency or accuracy.
With the ability to produce over 10,000 prototypes monthly, we manage both simple and complex designs. Our 1,000m² assembly workshop, 100 CNC machines, and 30+ expert teams, coupled with an advanced laboratory, guarantee high-quality results.
To choose the best cutting method, consider material type, design complexity, production volume, precision, and other elements. Die cutting is ideal for high-volume, simple shapes; laser cutting suits intricate designs; waterjet cutting works best for thick, complex materials.
Material choice, thickness, and design complexity are the key factors influencing custom die cutting costs. While larger production volumes reduce per-unit prices, the need for precision in intricate designs and tight tolerances adds to costs through extra setup, time, and tooling.
We use advanced die cutting equipment that is regularly calibrated to ensure consistent precision. Rigorous quality control checks are performed during production to measure dimensions and inspect cuts. We meet your tolerance specifications and offer prototypes for testing before large-scale production, allowing for adjustments as needed.
The die-cutting process is a manufacturing technique that uses dies to cut, shape, or shear materials into specific shapes and sizes. The dies are typically made of hardened steel and are designed to precisely cut the material. The process involves applying high pressure to a sheet or roll of material, forcing it to conform to the shape of the die. Die-cutting can be used on a variety of materials, including paper, plastic, metal, rubber, fabric, foam, and more.
