Digital Die Cutting Services
AMD Converting & Label provides digital die cutting services for prototypes, small batch die cutting, and low-volume production runs. Because our digital process needs only an electronic file, there is no tooling cost and no minimum — making it ideal for digital die cut prototypes and fast-turnaround projects. We perform precision die cutting with rotary, flat bed / steel rule, and punch press methods, using butt-cut, die-cut, kiss-cut, and sheet processes on almost any material from paper to cork, fabrics, to spring steel. Primarily, we focus on the needs of industries including (but not limited to):
- Automotive
- Electrical
- Electronics
- Masking
- Medical
- Packaging
- Prime Label
Digital Die Cut Prototypes With No Tooling
Our digital die cutting services give a quick turnaround on digital die cut prototypes with just an electronic file. As a no tooling die cutting option, prototypes process in a day or two without the cost and delay of hard tooling.
Custom Die Cutting for Gaskets, Labels & Insulation
We manufacture die cut gaskets, labels, and insulation. Whatever custom die cut shape you need, our facility can make it happen. Tell us your custom needs. Material thickness and tolerances depend on the method used:
- Flatbed cutting: materials 0.002″ to 0.5″ thick can be handled in dimensions of 4′ x 4′ with tolerances of +/- 0.008″
- Rotary cutting: materials 0.002″ to 0.5″ thick can be handled in dimensions of 16″ x 24″ with tolerances of 0.005″

Our state-of-the-art digital die cutting services give customers a quick turnaround on digital die cut prototypes with just an electronic file. As a no tooling die cutting option, prototypes can be processed in a day or two without the added cost and time of hard tooling — not to mention the cost of changes before a product is proven out. This makes our digital process ideal for low volume and fast turnaround prototype work. One of our customers provided us with a file and we delivered their die cut prototypes the very next day. When they needed changes, instead of re-tooling we made a simple programming change and re-ran the next set. Once the product was proven out, the hard tool was invested in. The customer estimates they saved at least a couple thousand dollars and got their product to market 4–6 weeks sooner than other converters would have.
