Die Cutting Machines are the Best for Paper Crafting Designs

April 17, 2018

Paper crafting is an age-old art that is slowly undergoing resurgence. With the slow, but growing interest in different paper crafting techniques and tools employed for it, it is becoming a popular art-form again. But paper crafting and artisanal paper is nothing new. In fact, it is something that has been around since the advent of paper-making.

As an art-form, it first manifested in the 1440s, and reached its zenith during the height of the middle of the 1800s, when artisanal books and paper became the most used materials. Some of the finest examples of paper crafting can be found from between the 1770s to the mid-1800s.

One of the reasons for this success is the use of die cutting machines. Originally crude implements that required brute force to be operated efficiently, it later became mechanised during the heyday of the Industrial Revolution. Mechanised die cutting machines allowed for larger stacks of paper to be cut evenly and efficiently.

Because the process employed steam power, and now hydraulics, to cut paper, it made for cleaner, straighter cuts compared to earlier die cutting machines which often left uneven edges on paper. Recent innovations have even made it possible for these machines to crease, fold, shape, or cut paper in pre-set patterns.

If you are into artisanal paper crafting, artisanal printing or book-binding, or if you have a company that requires specialised stationery, boxes or what-have-you, here is why die-cutting machines are a good investment to have:

  • Uniform cutting – die-cutting machines ensure even, uniform cuts. This promises less wastage and greater efficiency.
  • Automated nature – die-cutting machines are for the most part fully automated, giving one the leeway to simply load the machine and allow it to do its work. This saves a lot of time and effort in having to closely monitor cutting, doing away with the need for additional manpower.
  • Versatile functionality – modern die-cutting machines are now able to do more than make basic cuts of paper. Everything from specialised and precision-creasing, to folding, and intricate paper crafting designs can now be executed with the utmost efficiency, making high-quality artisanal work not only possible, but sustainable and affordable.
