Best Cutting Die is one of the leading suppliers of rotary magnetic cylindrical dies for converting industries like direct mail and labeling. With our solutions, you can increase capacity and add automation to your converting process to take advantage of cylindrical magnetic dies and shells.
Magnetized cylindrical dies and shells keep the flexible dies in place, delivering a sharp and precise cut while making the process more efficient. This benefit is critical in die-cutting operations, where processes are fast and productivity gains matter.
Flexible dies generate cost savings and fast turnarounds for your workflow, especially with a magnetic shell or cylindrical die. Magnetic shells for direct mail converting deliver numerous benefits, including:
With greater accuracy and control, magnetic cylindrical dies reduce converting waste, making the most from raw materials.
Magnetic shells and flexible dies are easier and quicker to switch and replace without specialized tools or equipment.
Magnetic cylindrical dies for direct mail are made from fully hardened tool steel for maximum precision.
Best Cutting Die precision engineers magnetic cylindrical dies for direct mail and labeling to the highest industry standards and your specific converting requirements. We understand that these components are essential for your converting operations, so we use our manufacturing experience to optimize your processes. Our magnetic die systems deliver the highest possible dimensional accuracy and a long service life for long-term dependability.
Our magnetic shells include the following features:
We can also design custom magnetic shells and cylindrical dies to fit your operational requirements. These dies can be used with other parts and accessories, including bearing housing units and anti-jam systems.

For a minimal fee, BEST can manufacture our flexible dies with a Special Chrome plating applied In-House. This treatment is proven to extend flexible die life up to five times longer than the standard materials. Other companies may offer Teflon Coating as a solution, but this only adds a minimal increase in lubricity that wears off quickly.
Increased hardness for longer runs, additional lubricity which reduces paper dust and corrosion protection.
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.
