Diecutting is arguably the oldest and most cost-effective form of refinement, and it is particularly sustainable. The paper is exclusively mechanically processed, with no use of varnishes or inks. Using individually crafted die-cutting forms, we produce even large quantities sustainably and precisely.
In just one operation, your products can be scored, creased, perforated, embossed, and die-cut. The die-cutting forms can be reused multiple times, allowing us to produce smaller quantities cost-effectively as well.
The punching, creasing, and perforating of paper
as well as thicker materials like cardboard offer significant potential
for high-quality print finishing.
Die-cutting demands a wealth of technical expertise and a passion for paper. This traditional craft offers visual and tactile highlights, but its functionality should not be underestimated. A seemingly infinite variety of shapes for your individual brochures, folders, packaging, folding cartons, etc., can be realized through die-cutting. From a single business card to a 140 x 100 cm display, everything is possible; in many cases, even without disruptive notches.
A particular advantage of this finishing process:
We also perform die-cutting on the finished product without a gripper edge. For more information, please visit Contour Die-Cutting.
When die-cutting with steel rule, all machines used operate with custom-made die forms, but the functionalities vary greatly. Machines are distinguished by flat-round development or flatbed die-cutting, as well as machines with scale, single-sheet, or hand-fed systems. Depending on the product, material, and quantity, we will find the optimal die-cutting solution for you.
Stamping is a proven process in plastic processing as well. It enables the efficient and cost-effective production of plastic components for a variety of applications. At [Your Company], we manufacture precisely shaped parts from flat plastics and plastic foils, accommodating not only simple geometric shapes but also more complex contours. A wide range of materials can be stamped, including PVC, PET, polyethylene, polypropylene, and many others.
Advantages of Plastic Stamping:
Overall, plastic stamping is a proven method for producing custom plastic parts for various applications. It offers a combination of precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, making it an attractive option in plastic processing.
With our expertise and a well-equipped machinery, we offer numerous possibilities for plastic processing. For special requirements, machines with a sheet format of up to 100 x 140 cm are available.
In addition to our die-cutting machines, we employ various laser systems. Especially during the product development phase, lasers are ideal for cost-effective production of test series. Adjustments in shape and size can be tested without the need for die-cutting tools.
Moreover, for the mass production of plastic parts, the use of laser systems can be beneficial, particularly when manufacturing highly complex shapes.

...here are some insights from the die-cutting routine:
The die-cutting tools are created individually and tailored to your specific order. We achieve the highest quality by perfectly aligning the components used with your product. We are happy to professionally store the die-cutting tools after production, making them readily available for your next use.
For die-cutting, PDF data or data from common graphic programs serve as templates. Since only the contours are used for constructing the die-cutting tools, the die-cutting facility requires only those specific details. Different cutting lines can be visually distinguished from other lines. Alternatively, fold or perforation lines can be represented as dotted or dashed. When different processes are combined, no additional files are needed. Precision is crucial in the production of die-cutting tools for notch-free die-cutting, and we coordinate closely with the die-cutting tool builder.
In die-cutting with steel strip, a die is pressed onto the material in a die-cutting machine with significant pressure. The material is then fully or partially cut out at the desired locations using the cutting blades.
For precise and clean folding, the material (paper, cardboard, or carton) is initially scored. A score line is impressed into the paper, causing the paper to be "indented" and creating a score. This score allows the material to be neatly folded without causing paper breakage. When a product is both die-cut and scored, this is typically done in a single step. Cutting blades and score lines are integrated into the die.
Generally, both terms are used interchangeably in paper processing. Occasionally, "grooving" is described as the process of removing (milling) material for better folding, especially in thicker materials like cardboard.
Perforation involves punching small spaced holes along a desired line in the paper. The uncut sections (bridges) provide stability to the paper, but it can be easily torn by hand along the perforation line. This is known as tear perforation.
A fold perforation is also commonly used; it can replace scoring and enables easy folding, for example, in fold sheets for book or brochure production.
Depending on the intended use and the material, the ratio of cut length to bridge length is determined. The length is measured in points (pt).
For example, in a 2pt to 2pt perforation, both the cut and the bridge are approximately 0.7 mm long.
