Die cutting refers to a process in which you use a machine to mass-produce cut-out shapes. You can create the same shape, with the exact same dimensions, over and over without using scissors, stencils, or a craft knife. It saves time and makes your cut-out shapes look professional and consistent EVERY time.
A digital die cutting machine is an electronic machine that uses a small blade to cut custom designed elements.
Our digital die cutting machine can cut a number of materials. Decal, window cling, floor and wall decal, card stock, craft vinyl, sticker paper, and chipboard. Pretty cool, huh?
The Digital Advantage
Other than the sheer coolness of this technology, there are two primary advantages to removing the requirements of a steel ruled die.
- One, the layout goes electronically from one computer to the next; what was once hours of labor is now minutes through the ether.
- Two, the materials involved in making a steel die are not cost effective on short runs, which are the fastest growing portion of pocket folder and packaging orders.
Because the sheets-per-hour speeds of the digital die-cutters aren’t as fast as conventional die-cutting, short run, custom orders are the sweet spot of all things digital.
