Most Common Industries That Benefit from Rotary Die Cutting
The development of the rotary die cutting process illustrates just how crowded the manufacturing sector has become over the last few decades. The cylinders of the machine take huge batches of raw material, feed the blanks through the die cutting surfaces, and output finished shapes in their thousands, all while retaining the consistency of each and every stroke. The finalized stock looks good and is free of the hassle caused by flat die pressure configuring, thus delivering fast results that exude quality.
Printing Merchandise Labels
The long and labyrinthine series of steps used to print labels must deliver a rapid-fire cutting solution at the end of the mechanical circuit. Spectacular labels are dropped onto different materials by a dye sublimation process. The rotary die cutting end stage kiss-cuts the long reams of company designed product without puncturing the sticky substrate, resulting in batches of ready to apply decals that can be applied to bottles and all manner of eccentrically shaped containers.
Shaping the Packaging Industry
Differently shaped cardboard boxes sit on shelves. They exhibit precise cuts and creases, sit waiting for a customer, and deliver the robust strength of corrugated board. The creases and cuts are produced by feeding blank sections of cardboard through the cylindrical anvil. Servo-driven, the custom-made die creates copy after copy of the flattened box profile, needing only slight adjustments to alter the dimensions of the box. Slots for the packaging stuff then slide together via the creases to form sharp-edged packages and cartons.
Built for One-Off Items and Mass-Production Runs
The creases and kiss-cuts are applied at speed, with the multiple cylinders blurring as the flexible dies produce labels and packages. Perforated postage stamps push the machinery even deeper into the twin domains of shipping and packaging. Print shops with plenty of floor space leverage the talents of the rotary die cutting technique to create an all-in-one format, a machine configuration that deposits the dyes, prints the images, inscribes the text and cuts the result into pre-folded brochures. Cuts are supported by creases and indentations, kiss-cuts and hole punches, the incredibly detailed forms that create modern short-run packaging solutions.
The speed of the system is aided by sheer versatility, a capacity for authoritatively placing any of these cuts or creases on a wide range of materials, including those that are produced with one or more substrate. Tickets with magnetic strips, strangely shaped business cards, and personalized greetings cards, all of these applications benefit from the efficient processing of the rotary die format.
