Best Cutting Die is a leading high cutting die manufacturer for labels and direct mail. Your converting operations will benefit from our durable dies tailored to your production requirements and expert support to make processing as efficient and optimized as possible.
Rotary high cutting dies — also called blank cutters — are designed to cut through thick layers of material or large stacks of thin materials and withstand repetitive motion and high pressure. Their fast and accurate cuts make these dies integral in label and direct mail converting.
With high cutting dies for direct mail and labels, you will benefit from their:
High cutting dies for labels are a low-cost option for the converting industry to realize additional cost savings through efficiency.
The accuracy and speed of blank cutters result in less waste during the cutting process.
High cutting dies can support high-volume, high-speed converting, so you can process more in less time.
Our blank cutters are essential in producing adhesive labels and direct mail across applications. Our high dies for labels and mail are effective for heavy, specialty and multilayered papers between 60 and 350 grams per square meter (GSM), including:
We design our dies to meet tight tolerances and technical specifications. Their cutting precision and tolerance deliver clean and repeatable cuts with minimal deviation and reduced material waste and rework. This ability is crucial for multilayer labels and similar applications where cuts must be specific to preserve the label.
Our direct mail blank cutting dies support fast cutting speeds and thousands of cutting cycles per hour. This speed is balanced with precision, so every cycle delivers accurate cuts and high throughput for large-scale operations.

Best Cutting Die has perfected the design and fabrication of blank cutters since 1966. Our engineering team will create custom high cutting dies tailored to your production requirements. Then, we’ll use a combination of modern manufacturing methods and traditional hand-forging techniques to make the die, and heat treat it in a vacuum furnace and a salt pot.
Our all-in-house process means we maintain control over every aspect of the die production process, resulting in durable high dies for long‑run label production, quick turnarounds and superior quality.

Ultrasonic bonding uses high-frequency sound to create heat and vibration. When used for nonwoven materials, the thermoplastic fibers will bond together. Compared to other adhesive and thermal technologies, ultrasonic bonding rolls for hygiene products achieve the same effect without additives, making the nonwoven feel lightweight, soft, thin and flexible.
Our ultrasonic bonding rolls make the process of bonding nonwoven materials faster and more efficient, supporting high-speed production while creating less waste. The bonding effect is consistent and repeatable with every run, so you can yield quality results with little to no variations.
Our high-caliber flexible dies are ideal for envelope converting applications because they work with numerous envelope machines — including all F.L. Smithe and W&D models.
CNC-sharpened flexible dies produce accurate labels every time, so you can speed up your operations and improve your company’s productivity.
Our flexible dies feature optional chrome plating for increased strength and durability. The plating extends the die’s life span and is essential when cutting nonwoven items and other hard-to-cut materials.
Custom-made flexible dies from Best Cutting Die provide packaging manufacturers with maximum performance and reliable results when cutting any material.
Flexible dies are thin, precision-cut tools used for cutting, creasing, and shaping materials in the envelope converting process. They are favored for their ability to hold tight tolerances, versatility in cutting various substrates, and ease of storage due to their lightweight nature.
Flexible dies are generally more cost-effective and quicker to manufacture than solid dies. They offer faster changeovers, which can significantly reduce production downtime and increase overall productivity.
Proper maintenance of flexible dies includes regular inspection, cleaning to remove adhesive buildup. Many flexible dies come with special coatings to enhance durability and reduce maintenance frequency.
Yes, flexible dies can be customized to fit specific envelope converting machines. It is essential to provide precise machine specifications and material details to the die manufacturer to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
Common issues include adhesive buildup on the die, improper alignment, and wear and tear. These can be resolved by using adhesive-repellent coatings, ensuring accurate setup and alignment during installation, and regular maintenance.
Flexible dies provide precise cuts and consistent quality, essential for high-volume production. Their ability to handle intricate designs and maintain tight tolerances ensures that the final product meets high-quality standards.
Many manufacturers offer field training and support to ensure proper setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of flexible dies. This training helps maximize productivity and efficiency while reducing the likelihood of production issues.
