It is used whenever traditional straight cutting (e.g., using a guillotine) is insufficient\u2014for instance, in the production of complex packaging, puzzles, stickers, or cards with unusual shapes.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#text-1112229470 {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-451010518 > .col-inner {\n  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<style>\n#row-2076696318 > .col > .col-inner {\n  padding: 50px 20px 30px 20p;\n}\n@media (min-width:850px) {\n  #row-2076696318 > .col > .col-inner {\n    padding: 50px 0px 30px 0px;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_184089871 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n  background-color: rgb(235, 250, 244);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\t<section class=\"section\" id=\"section_1841232260\">\n\t\t<div class=\"section-bg fill\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"section-content relative\">\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-1967893614\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-168351245\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"container section-title-container\" ><h2 class=\"section-title section-title-normal\"><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><span class=\"section-title-main\" >Key elements of the process<\/span><b aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\nThe primary tool used in this technique is the die. It typically consists of a special board (e.g., made of plywood) into which blades, bent to the required shape, are embedded and secured. In addition to cutting blades, the die may include other elements:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Creasing rules: These do not cut the material but instead press indentations (crease lines) into it, facilitating neat folding of the cardboard later on.<\/li>\n \t<li>Perforating rules: These create a series of small cuts, allowing a section of the material to be easily torn off (e.g., a ticket stub).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Step-by-step process<\/strong>\n<ol>\n \t<li><strong>Design and die preparation:<\/strong> Based on the graphic design, a die is created that reflects the desired outer shape and fold lines.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Loading the material:<\/strong> A sheet of paper or cardboard (often already printed) is fed into the die-cutting machine (commonly referred to as a die-cutter or platen press).<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Die-cutting (pressure):<\/strong> The machine presses the die against the material with great force. Under this pressure, the blades cut the edges, while the creasing or perforating rules impart the necessary structural features.<\/li>\n \t<li><strong>Stripping (waste removal):<\/strong> After die-cutting is complete, the excess material (known as the skeleton or matrix) is removed, and the finished cut pieces are packed or sent for further processing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<strong>Main die-cutting methods<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Flatbed die-cutting: The most common method, in which the die moves vertically (up and down), pressing against a flat sheet of material resting on a base. Ideal for corrugated board, heavy paperboard, and medium-sized production runs.<\/li>\n \t<li>Rotary die-cutting: Uses cylindrical cutting forms that rotate while the machine is operating. This is a very fast method, used primarily for high-volume production (e.g., manufacturing self-adhesive labels from a roll). It is often combined with prior flexographic printing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>Applications of die-cutting<\/strong>\n<ul>\n \t<li>Packaging: Cardboard boxes and cartons, solid board boxes and packaging, laminated (litho-laminated) packaging and boxes, most packaging types listed in the FEFCO catalogue, and cartons for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or food products (e.g., pizza boxes).<\/li>\n \t<li>Advertising and office materials: Presentation folders with pockets, custom-shaped calendars, door hangers, notebooks, and leaflets with rounded corners.<\/li>\n \t<li>Paper-based accessories: Greeting cards with intricate cut-out designs, puzzles, board games, and self-adhesive labels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1841232260 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n  padding-bottom: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-307","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/307","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/307\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":309,"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/307\/revisions\/309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/opakowania.jaworzno.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
