Envelope converting can be for various types and qualities of paper — printed, colored with ink on either or both sides or otherwise. This process uses a variety of cutting dies and modules for the precise cutting, folding and shaping of envelopes. Best Cutting Die offers a wide selection of tools for the envelope converting industry.
Envelope converting is a precise process with no margin for error. High-quality envelope converting equipment is essential for shaping, cutting and finishing envelopes at high speeds and volumes while meeting the tight tolerances and maximizing operational uptime. The best cutting dies also ensure optimal process consistency and efficiency, which is paramount in applications such as direct mail and e-commerce.
Additionally, implementing advanced equipment is crucial when staying current with the trends that are shaping the industry:
Regarding the trend toward custom envelope dies, many manufacturers are choosing insert dies and modular units for these advanced envelope converting applications because of their enhanced efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Insert dies enable the replacement of only the cutting portion of the die, saving valuable time, labor and money. They’re also easily adaptable to update envelope sizes and designs and increase productivity by minimizing downtime during changeovers.
With a modular unit, you can swap out worn or damaged die components without stopping the entire production line. It’s also possible to reconfigure the lines to meet different customer or project requirements.
