Since the introduction of automatic die-cutting machinery, programmable media forming tools have flourished. The device works like a Zen master living in a flexible industrial engine that machine creases processed media as if it were producing some perfectly folded origami structure. As colorful as this opening description sounds, it really is a powerful introduction to the best uses and applications for this self-regulating device.
Automated box and carton construction
The programmable die-cutting assembly works in concert with the creasing module to cut the contours of boxes and cartons from rigid card stock. Assembled without staples or tape, high tolerance cuts and crease line slots are sewn together to form boxes and beverage cartons. Not surprisingly, this industrial and commercial base has outpaced all other applications, with the packaging industry growing year after year as more and more goods come from online retailers and their warehouses.
Glass and mortar storefronts
Even as online retail giants are skipping traditional storefronts in favor of warehouses, traditional high street storefronts are evolving to survive in the age of online shopping. It is here that automatic die-cutting and creasing machines have truly become the best of the best for retail store display designers. Again, there is no tape, no staples, and no fasteners of any kind. Instead, high-precision die cutters use a machine-controlled stacking conveyor system to slide large cross-sections of cardboard into the center of the machine line. From there, they are cut into intricate shapes, then packaged and shipped to stores where pre-folded sections are assembled. They are movie cutouts of famous Hollywood characters, as seen in a new Hollywood blockbuster, where the store displays newly marketed merchandise.
