solid milled dies

Solid Milled Dies

Solid milled dies are made of solid, heat-treated steel for precision die cutting that’s consistent, reliable, and repeatable. These dies cause less flexing and distortion than steel rule dies, and can achieve final parts tolerances from ±.005″ to ±.010″. Solid milled dies cost more than steel rule dies, but provide greater accuracy for more demanding projects.
steel rule die

Steel Rule Dies

Steel rule dies are made with hardened steel strips (steel rules) whose edges cut or punch sheet and web materials into specific geometries. They are less expensive than solid milled or matched metal dies, and are a great option for die cut parts that do not demand extremely tight tolerances. With steel rule dies, typical close-tolerance tooling is guaranteed to be within ±.010” for parts that measure less than 12″.
matched medal dies

Matched Metal Dies

Matched metal dies, also referred to as male/female dies, are recommended for die cut parts where extremely tight tolerances are required. They are more expensive than steel rule dies and solid milled dies, but can achieve final tolerances from ±.001″ to ±.005″.

Part Tolerances and Precision Die Cut Part Supply Services

Die cutting tolerances are not simply a function of die type or part size. Material type, part features, tool type, and production technology play a role. Tooling costs, turnaround times, and specific design and manufacturing advantages also vary with precision die cutting technology. Our advanced die cutting capabilities along with our extensive manufacturing and materials knowledge will provide the highest level of support to our customers. We pride ourselves on quality, communication, and on-time delivery. Our flatbed and rotary die cutting offers low-cost tooling with short lead times and tolerances of +/- .002. Our strong partnerships with suppliers create a wide variety of material options for your unique application. Our sales, customer service, and engineering teams are second to none. Our team is here to assist you throughout your project. From prototypes to high volume production, we can custom cut products to your project requirements and specifications.

Types of Die Cutting Services

At Elimold, we have extensive die cutting manufacturing experience and a state-of-the-art equipment lineup to provide a diverse range of die cutting solutions to regions around the world. We are proud to offer a wide range of precision die cutting services, providing design and manufacturing of die cut products to companies across a wide range of industries.

Our professionals can evaluate your product needs and expectations to determine the materials and die cutting services that will be most beneficial to you. Whether your product requires a single or multiple manufacturing stages, we can find a practical and cost-effective solution.

Rotary Die Cutting

Rotary Die Cutting

Rotary die cutting uses cylindrical dies on a rotary press. Rolls of materials can be fed through the press where the rotary die will cut shapes, holes, and any perforations and creases the part may require. Rotary die cutting can be high-speed with high precision and deliver tighter tolerances than some other die cutting methods, while offering good repeatability and high-volume output.
Flat Bed Die Cutting

Flat Bed Die Cutting

With flat bed die cutting, shapes are stamped out of material utilizing steel rule dies that are adjusted accordingly to varying degrees of a hydraulic or mechanical press. Advantages of flat bed die cutting are seen with lower quantities, larger die-cuts, and thicker materials.
Match Metal Die Cutting

Match Metal Die Cutting

In match metal die cutting, materials pass through a cutting die constructed of a top and bottom die which are matched (male/female) to provide an extremely precise cut. Match metal die cutting is typically used for higher volume applications which require extreme precision.
Compound Die Cutting

Compound Die Cutting

Compound die cutting performs multiple steps in one pass. The compound die-cut implements more than one operation during the cutting cycle.
Punch Press

Punch Press

In a punch press, material runs through the press while a hydraulic ram at the top powers the die to cut the material. This type of die cutting is advantageous for speed and productivity.
Multilayer Laminating

Multilayer Laminating

In multilayer laminating, multiple webs of thin flexible materials and pressure-sensitive adhesives come together in a single pass to create a complex, multilayer part.
Zoned Adhesive Lamination

Zoned Adhesive Lamination

With Zoned adhesive lamination, custom patterns of adhesive are laminated to material during the die cutting process. This leaves adhesive only in the specified area(s).
Kiss Cutting

Kiss Cutting

Kiss cutting is a process where a laminated material is die-cut to the liner without cutting through the liner, leaving the die-cut part affixed to the liner. Parts can be supplied in role format on the liner around a core, making them easier to handle.
Pull Tabs and Extended Liners.webp

Pull Tabs and Extended Liners

Materials with top and bottom liners are cut so a portion of the liner is cut to extend the material to leave a pull tab. This pull tab contributes to ease of handling and placement.
Perforation Die cutting

Perforation Die cutting

The perforation die cutting process does not fully trim the materials away from the original shape, but instead creates a perforated area that remains in place until it is ready to be detached.
CNC Die Cutting.webp

CNC Die Cutting

CNC die cutting, or steel rule die cutting, utilizes a CNC die cutting press and steel rule dies to convert materials into custom designs and shapes.
laser die cutting service

Laser Die Cutting

Laser die cutting meets the needs of critical applications and can accurately cut a wide range of materials. The highly repeatable process can accurately and cleanly cut the smallest details (holes, slots, windows).

What Is Die Cutting?

Die cutting is a manufacturing process used to cut out precise shapes from materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric, leather, foam, plastic, and various other materials. It involves the use of a specialized tool called a die, which is a sharp-edged blade or a set of blades formed into the desired shape. The die is mounted onto a press, and the material to be cut is placed underneath it. When the press is activated, it applies pressure to the die, causing it to cut through the material and create the desired shape. The die can be custom-made to produce specific shapes, such as letters, numbers, logos, or intricate designs.
In addition to cutting, die cutting can also perform scoring, perforating, embossing, or debossing. Scoring creates creases or fold lines in the material; perforating creates small holes or dotted lines; embossing raises the surface to create a raised design; and debossing creates a depressed, or indented, design. Die cutting methods are most effective for high-volume, repetitive production runs due to the significant initial investment needed to acquire the die.

Benefits of Die Cutting

Precision

Our die-cutting tools are extremely precise and can produce consistent results, run after run.

Speed

Die cutting is known for its speed and accuracy, making it ideal for large or short runs.

Versatility

Unlike some other processes, die cutting is very versatile, capable of handling many types of materials.

Minimal waste

The die-cutting process reduces the amount of scrap that’s left over after cutting, minimizing waste (and your costs).

Cost

When a die is created to your specifications, it can be used over and over, so you’re not re-inventing the wheel. This helps keep costs down.

Rapid Prototyping

One of our key services is rapid prototyping. Customers who need prototypes want them quickly, and die cutting is a great tool for the job.
