Understanding Different Methods of Die Cutting

When it comes to producing a wide range of packaging products, automobile parts, device components, and other similar products, related industries often turn to the die cutting process due to its versatility and flexibility. Die cutting can effectively create different shapes, designs, and patterns in generating numerous products. They can likewise work on a wide array of materials as well as cut in bulk, lowering the overall production costs as well as minimising the time needed to deliver parts and products.

Generally, die cutting involves three primary components. These components are the cutting unit, the cutting tool, and the workpiece or the material that will be processed and cut. The cutting tools are often designed according to the die cutting methods that they are intended to perform, while the die inside the cutting unit is utilised for shaping the materials.

There are various types of die cutting that can be done to successfully produce the intended products. After all, different products require varying specifications and design. Some notable types of die cutting that can be utilised by industries are the following:

C150






Broaching

Broaching is a die cutting process that utilises a tool with numerous rows of cutting teeth to effectively cut workpieces. The materials that are being processed by broaching are often difficult to process given that they are either too hard or too thick to be cut. 

Blanking

Blanking is a type of die cutting that involves the cutting of flat workpieces. These workpieces often clipped from their exterior edge and subsequently fed into the cutting unit and die. Through this process, the workpieces often obtain a high degree of flatness.

Coining

Coining is another type of die cutting that involves the creation of circular holes in workpieces by applying pressured force and stress towards them. Through coining, the workpieces can achieve intricate product features that other die cutting processes cannot generate.

Drawing

One other process of die cutting that can be used by industries is drawing. Drawing is a process wherein tensile forces are applied to workpieces, pulling and stretching them to a certain length to produce lean and long products. Some materials that can be processed by drawing are metal, glass, and plastic.

Forming

The forming process entails the creation of workpieces through mechanical deformation to effectively reshape them without adding or removing materials. This die cutting process works well with the drawing process in creating and constructing round cylindrical parts and products.

Die cutting processes and methods have been very useful in producing different parts and products out of plastic, rubber, metal, wood, paper, and other kinds of materials. These parts and products can boast different shapes, dimensions, form factors, and other elements that make them unique.

Understanding the Die-cutting Process in Custom Packaging

The die-cutting process is a popular manufacturing technique in the packaging industry. It involves the use of dies used to cut soft materials into various packaging designs and shapes. The ability to produce custom packaging in volume is where the true value of the die-cutting process lies. Die-cut packaging is easier, faster and more cost effective, allowing for the creation of custom packaging on a larger scale.  In this article, we'll explore the die-cutting process and its role in custom packaging.  You will also see.  ● Die-cut boxes explained in detail ● How cutting dies are made ●Die-cutting technology  ● The FEFCO corrugated packaging category  ● Finishing options that complement die-cut box design   Understanding the die-cutting process A cutting die is essentially a giant cookie cutter that is pressed into the material to form the desired shape of the package. Die cutting has come a long way from its origins in the shoe industry during the indust...

How are cutting dies made?

The development of cutting die technology and manufacturing techniques ensures the most efficient and accurate   die-cut box design . Typically, the package outline is generated by Computer-Aided Design (CAD). This digital drawing is transferred to a piece of hardwood called a template.  The most sophisticated method of drawing the design on the template is to burn it on the wood surface using a state-of-the-art laser cutter.  The introduction of the laser in this process ensures greater accuracy in drawing on the moldboard.  Cutting dies are made using metal strips called rule or steel rule. The cutting rule is shaped into shape using a rule bender, which bends, cuts and grooves the steel into the desired shape.   Multiple cutting rules can be used in the die cutting process. Each rule has its own function and purpose, depending on the complexity of the package.  Some of the most common rule options are. ● Through-cutting: Through-cutting cuts the packagin...

WHAT IS A CORRUGATED BOX?

If you work in the packaging or shipping industry, you probably work with cardboard boxes daily. Corrugated cardboard boxes are one of the core products used to package and ship products of all types around the world, so they are an integral component in several businesses and industries. While you may use them on a regular basis, you probably have never given much thought to where  corrugated boxes  come from or how they are manufactured. It is easy to forget that the boxes you depend on were once trees growing in forests spanning the globe. The process for transforming a tree into corrugated cardboard is actually quite fascinating, and it is more high-tech than you may realize. How exactly is the humble corrugated box made? We’re glad you asked! WHAT IS A CORRUGATED BOX? Corrugated cardboard is an extremely versatile material that is used to protect, display and ship virtually all types of products. It is made using three layers of strong paper known as craft paper, which m...
