Die Cutting
Die cutting is the process of cutting the supplied stock to a custom shape and size through Die Formes.
Die Cutting
Die Cutting is a process that cuts out shapes from sheets of paper or cardboard using a cutting forme. In order for a forme to be made, a laydown in PDF file type would have to be supplied. Once the final laydown is determined, the cutting template will be cut into plywood then a metal cutting rule is bent to the same shape, and inserted into the plywood base to create a very stable cutting tool.
It is commonly used creating presentation folders, cartons and all sorts of other shapes. Die-cutting can also be used as a unique design feature on covers for books.
At TPF we have numerous cutting machines, from a Heidelberg Platten to three Heidelberg Cylinders and a flat bed platten so we can accommodate to most of your needs.
