Punching of cardboard and plastic sheets
We punch cardboard and plastic sheets for a variety of applications. We use this technique to make packaging, presentation and advertising materials, among other things. For this, we have a large number of cutting dies in house. In addition, making custom shapes and sizes is always possible.
What exactly is die-cutting?
Technically speaking, die-cutting is punching out - or expressing - a shape from cardboard or plastic. This is especially useful for products that cannot be realized with an ordinary cutting machine.
We first make a cutting drawing of the desired shape. That drawing is then accurately converted into a cutting template, made up of blades of different lengths.
We then mount this cutting mold on the punching machine.
The machine presses the mold - like a kind of stamp - firmly onto the sheets of cardboard or plastic. In this way, the shape is cut out exactly along the lines of the die-cutting drawings. Folding lines can also be pressed into the material using special die-cutting knives. In technical terms, this is called 'creasing'. The product is then ready for use.
