The demand for die cutting is very high since almost every industry utilizes the practice. Die cut gaskets, in particular, are very important industrial components. They are essential parts of many kinds of process equipment, and they are used in automobile engines as well to create a seal between parts in an engine block. Die cut gaskets are usually made out of rubber or metal. Everyday items such as plastic bags that are used in grocery stores and retail settings are manufactured using die cut machines. Many other items such as nameplates, shopping bags, key chains, face plates, keyboard plates, etc. are made with die cutters.

There are several different kinds of die cutters depending on what is essential for application. The simplest die cutters have thin steel blades called dies, which are used to cut specific shapes. Rotary die cutting forces a material between sharp blades on a cylindrical die and a hard-cylindrical anvil on a rotary press to cut and score materials as tight as .02. This process uses a continuous roll form and is very efficient in large volumes. Steel rule die cutting is another process that are often referred to as a cookie cutter die or clicker die. A steel rule die contains sharp blades in a particular pattern for the design and cuts through the required workable material. In ultrasonic die cutting, the vibrations of a metal horn generate heat and pressure; these vibrations are then used to die cut and seal shapes. Lastly, laser cutting involves a beam of light to create a cut and is often times controlled by a programed computer system.

Die cutting is the mass fabrication of cut-out shapes by shearing a stock material such as paper and chipboard using tooling called a die. A die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing to cut or shape a material fitted into a press...

Kiss Cutting

Kiss Cutting

Kiss cutting is a method for cutting into a material where the upper layers are pierced, but the back layer is left intact. The term "kiss" refers to the way the blade touches the upper layers of the material and leaves a pattern or cut with a sufficient amount of force to leave an impression...

O-Rings

An O-ring is a round elastic loop that is used as a seal for static and dynamic applications. Their main purpose is to serve as a seal between structures such as pipes, tubes, in pistons, and cylinders. O-rings are made of various materials depending on how they will be used and are highly pliable...
