Flatbed Die Cutting

Flatbed die-cutting is a process used for the cutting, creasing, embossing, waste stripping, and blank separation of a range of sheet materials. Flatbed die-cutting can be applied to materials like light papers and carton board. The process is used in a wide variety of industries from packaging, label, and display manufacturing to commercial printing.

By combining highly accurate registration with precise sheet control at each stage of the process, a flatbed die-cutter offers the ultimate in quality when cutting, creasing or embossing sheeted material. In our facility, whatever custom desired shape you need, we can make it happen.

Flatbed vs Rotary

The primary difference between rotary die-cutting and flatbed die cutting is that the flatbed is not as fast. This process lends itself to smaller production runs where it is not as easy to absorb the added cost of a rotary die.
