Die cutting involves using a cutting tool (flat plate or rotating cylinder) to transform a roll of material - adhesive, foam, plastic film or paper - into pre-cut parts in a variety of shapes.
This technology guarantees :
A high-precision cuttingeven for complex geometries.
A perfect reproducibility for mass production.
A material optimisation thanks to the reduction in falls.
The use of die cut offers many benefits to manufacturers:
Precision and consistency Every part is identical, even large volumes.
Saves time in production No need for manual cutting, the parts are ready to use.
Cost reduction This means better control of off-cuts and easy integration into assembly processes.
Flexible formats Simple cut-outs (round, rectangular) or complex cut-outs (technical shapes, cut-outs with tabs, bevels, multi-layers).
Material compatibility plastic film, foam, paper, fine metals, single- or double-sided adhesives.

In printing, die cut refers to the personalised cutting of shapes. In industrial adhesives, it is the pre-cutting of tapes, films or foams to obtain ready-to-use technical parts.
The die cut can be made using a variety of tools, including the rotary cutting. The latter is ideal for large, high-speed production runs, while the flat die cut is better suited to small production runs and prototyping.
Plastic films, single- and double-sided adhesive tapes, foams, papers, metal films and composite materials.
Yes, with the complexing it is possible to cut several superimposed layers (adhesive + film + backing) to create complete functional solutions.
