Auto Die Cutting and Creasing Machine: Best Uses and Applications

August 21, 2017

Since the inception of auto die cutting machinery, programmable media shaping tools have flourished. The equipment works like a Zen master who has taken up residence in a nimble industrial engine, one that machine-creases processed media as if it was producing some perfectly folded origami construct. Colourful though this opening description may sound, it does serve as a strong introduction for the best uses and applications for this self-regulating setup.

Automated Box and Carton Construction

The programmable die cutting assembly works in tandem with a creasing module to cut the box and carton outlines from rigid cardstock. Assembled without staples or adhesive tape, the high tolerance cutouts and crease lines slot together to form packaging boxes and beverage cartons. Not surprisingly, this industrial and commercial base has surpassed every other application, with the packaging sector growing by the year as more merchandise is sourced from online retailers and their warehouses.

Glass and Mortar Store Fronts

Even if the online retail giants are skipping traditional storefronts in favour of warehouses, the traditional high street shop front is evolving to survive the cyber shopping era. It's here that automated die cutting and creasing machines really excel as retail store display architects. Again, there are no sticky tapes, no staples, and no fasteners of any kind. Instead, the high-precision die cutters use their machine-controlled pile delivery systems to slide large cross-sectional sheets of cardboard into the heart of the equipment line. From here, they're cut into intricate shapes, then packed and shipped to a store, where the pre-creased sections are assembled. They're the cinema cutouts of titular Hollywood characters, as seen in a new Hollywood blockbuster, the store displays for newly marketed merchandise, and the die cut product packages that add pizzazz to a formerly forgettable brand.

Fully automated die cutting and creasing machines are seen operating by themselves through a lead manager's window. A maintenance operator checks a setting or makes an adjustment. A technician follows closely behind, perhaps so that the current paper run can be adjusted on a nearby programming panel. Below the operating parts, sliding over the flatbed platen as the automatic feed ramps up to full speed, packaging boxes and milk cartons are being stamped into shape and machine creased. As that run concludes, the next product load die cuts storefront cutouts and merchandise display panels, all the parts that come together to form a visually stunning cutout. Chairs, toys, even furniture, all of these applications are served by this self-governing die cutting machinery.
