Post-press processing technology - die-cutting
Die-cutting refers to a cutting process for post-processing of printed matter, which can make the printed matter or other paper products into a die-cutting knife plate according to the pre-designed graphics for cutting, so that the shape of the printed matter is no longer limited to straight edges and right angles. Theoretically, any shape you want can be die-cut to bring the printed print to life. Olipses, five-pointed stars, and sun lanterns in various shapes.
The traditional die-cutting production is a die-cutting process in which the die-cutting knife is combined into a die-cutting plate according to the pattern required by the product design, and the printed matter or other plate-like blanks are rolled and cut into the required shape or cut under the action of pressure. The indentation process is to use a crimping knife or a crimping die to press out the line marks on the sheet through the action of pressure, or use the rolling wheel to roll out the line marks on the sheet, so that the sheet can be bent and formed according to the predetermined position. Usually, the die-cutting and indentation process is a process that combines the die-cutting knife and the crimping knife in the same template, and performs die-cutting and indentation processing at the same time on the die-cutting machine, which is also referred to as molding.
Die-cutting is often used in the post-processing and production of special-shaped business cards, invitations, stickers, activity cards, packaging boxes and other printed materials. Most of the die-cut prints are novel in shape and eye-catching, and are mostly used for marketing or publicity materials, but the production process is slightly complicated, and the starting point of the printing volume is higher, so it needs to increase the cost separately.
