Die Cut Labels

Die cut labels are named as such because they have undergone the process of die cutting. For your information, die cutting is the process of cutting shapes into plastic, metal or paper surfaces by means of sharp steel stamps or rollers. This process is often employed in the production of labels, designs and shapes on those hard-to-cut surfaces. Its uses range from intricate design cuts for metal signs up to the simple cutting applications for greeting cards.

In creating die cut labels, a die or template is used as a guide on how the labels are going to be cut. A die cutter machine is used to come up with almost any type of label designs and shapes. This type of machine is ideal for cutting words or to form pictures as well as geometric shapes. The procedure involves in die cutting labels entails for the placing of materials on the die cutting machine.

Afterwards, the die to be used is then placed and a crank is turned which rolls the materials through the machine. And as the material passes through the die-cutting machine, a very thin saw cuts the material into corresponding shapes.  The thin saw is usually water cooled and has diamond tipped blades which make it even more ideal in cutting hard materials with precise edges.
