Die cutting is the process of cutting completely through a material to make several individual pieces. Think of it like cookie cutting on a large, industrial scale. Die cut parts are not bound to a roll and don’t have any surrounding excess material, otherwise known as a matrix. Unlike kiss-cut parts, die-cut elements are separate, free form pieces that are completely detached from one another. LAMATEK manufactures die cut parts out of foam, sponge, cork, solid materials, and more. Die cutting is also available on adhesive or non-adhesive backed materials. Self stick foam parts are supplied with an easy-peel, edge to edge liner. Tabbed pieces are made where the backing liner is slightly bigger than the part itself and therefore, easier to remove. These parts are also available for quick peel-and-stick convenience. For perforations, scoring, or adhesive parts in rolls or sheets, see kiss cutting.
Our state of the art, die-cutting machines provide small to large die cut pieces with clean edges, minimal concavity, and quick turn around. For large volume or rapid production items, our die cutting process offers fast, quality parts at an affordable price.
