No matter your industry, BEST Cutting Die has a solution built for you. From labels and mail to medical applications, we design and manufacture cutting dies that meet the demands of your production environment. Every step of our process, from manufacturing to delivery, is completed entirely in-house, so we maintain full control over quality at every stage. The result is a durable, precisely crafted product with the fast turnaround times your business depends on.
Our in-house die-cutting services allow us to provide better products and service without relying on outside sources.
By using hand forging, heat treatment, cryogenic chilling, and high-tech CNC equipment, our in-house process ensures a quality product each time. We handle every part of the process on-site.
BEST Cutting Die continually invests in the latest equipment to stay ahead of industry demands. Our skilled technicians oversee 40 pieces of CNC equipment and more than 100 machines, combining hands on expertise with advanced automation to deliver precision results at speed. Our large scale capabilities allow us to craft dies up to 26 inches in diameter and 120 inches in length, handling even the most demanding production requirements.
Our CNC machines are equipped to perform:
Every cutting die we produce begins the same way — with skilled workers hand forging steel at the start of the process. This foundational step is a deliberate choice. Hand forged cutting dies produce a sharper edge and a more durable structure, making them better equipped to perform in demanding production environments. We stand behind hand forging because of the distinct advantages it brings to every die we manufacture:
Every forged cutting die we produce is also tempered in our in house salt bath to a depth of 20 to 25 mm. This specialized treatment process gives our cutting dies a significant advantage over standard alternatives, allowing them to be sharpened approximately twice as many times as competing dies. The result is less distortion, a more uniform finished product, and a longer overall service life.
To support dies of all shapes and sizes, our in house heat treatment processes and on site vacuum furnace give us the flexibility to heat treat a wide variety of die sizes under one roof.
All Forged Cutting Dies are tempered in our in-house Salt Bath to a depth of 20-25mm (approximately 1/3 of total height). Added depth allows BEST Dies to be sharpened approximately twice as many times as Dies made by other suppliers, and the salt quenching causes less distortion and produces more uniform and consistent hardness.
The Salt Bath heat treating process allows us to achieve a consistent hardness on the cutting edge of the hand-forged die, while allowing our customers to easily work with the back-half of the die when needed. Due to the fact that salt can attain very high temperatures (> 700° C), and because it displays remarkably uniform heat-transfer characteristics, molten salt heat treatment is considered to be the die tooling best choice in hardening hand-forged cutting dies.
All our forged cutting dies are also tempered in our in-house salt bath to a depth of 20-25 mm. This treatment process means that our cutting dies can be sharpened approximately twice as many times as other dies, and it leads to less distortion and more uniform products.
Our in-house heat treatment processes and on-site vacuum furnace allow us to heat treat a variety of die sizes.
The capability of having all in-house inspection, testing and vacuum heat-treating equipment enables BEST to have complete quality control of the parts we manufacture. With expansion and the advent of larger diameter roll work in the rotary die industry, BEST now offers:
Before we ship our products to you, we perform all inspections on-site. We have complete control over quality and delivery times.
We apply a number of quality control strategies to our products before they leave our facility, including:
