Die Cutting
Die cutting is a form of finishing that can define or enhance your project. It’s frequently used for invitations or note cards, pocket folders, labels, envelopes, business cards and such.
Operating much like a cookie cutter, the die is mounted to the press, paper is inserted, pressure is applied, and the die literally “punches” its shape into the paper and releases the excess to reveal its form. Dies can also be employed to simply “kiss” the paper, versus punching it, which is often used in adhesive label manufacturing.
What to know about Die cutting
- Paper thickness is a factor when die-cutting. Rigid paper requires more pressure so the die properly cuts the paper. In some cases, two passes may be required through the press to achieve a proper release.
- Steel Die-cutting or laser die-cutting for your project? The size of the design and the level of intricacy will dictate the type of manufacturing process.
- In laser diecutting, a laser is used to burn or cut an image out of paper. There may be a color change of the paper due to the burning.
