Die Cutting Packaging Solutions: Custom Dies and Services

The packaging industry relies heavily on efficient equipment to reduce downtime and meet production timelines. When machinery begins to malfunction, it causes significant losses for the company due to operating costs and lower sales. Reliable tools can minimize downtime. Best Cutting Die offers a broad range of products and services catering to businesses in the packaging industry.

The Role of Die-Cutting in Packaging

The creation of a cutting die is the first step in product packaging converting. It involves the use of steel blades to cut and shape materials according to specific requirements. Die-cutting in packaging performs several vital functions:

  • Precise shaping: Die-cutting is a flexible process that enables the creation of complex shapes that are unattainable with traditional cutting methods.
  • Customization: Packaging with die-cutting supports unique branding initiatives by allowing manufacturers to generate custom sizes, shapes and features to achieve product differentiation.
  • Uniformity: The consistency provided by a cutting tool for packaging enables uniform, repeatable cuts, even on high-volume jobs. You can feel confident that every package meets the exact project specifications.
  • Efficiency: Save time and labor by implementing automated cutting to streamline production. You’ll be able to cut multiple pieces simultaneously.
  • Material variety: Packaging die-cutting is compatible with a wide range of materials, including foils, nonwovens, cardboard, paper, and films.

Common Die Cutting Methods for Packaging

The die-cutting process involves several methods, allowing for a wide range of structural design applications. For die-cutting packaging processes, there are a number of methods used, such as:

  • Blanking: Clipping a flat material on its exterior edges to produce a precisely flat die
  • Drawing: Pulling a material to the desired length, ideal for long packaging
  • Forming: Shaping the material on a curved surface
  • Broaching: Cutting hard or thick materials using multiple rows of cutting teeth
  • Coining: Creating circular holes in the material using pressurized force
