Flatbed die-cutting
Flat or die-cutting of adhesive tapes
Producing custom adhesive dots in small and medium sizes
Cutting capacity
A flatbed die cutter, also known as a die-cutting press, is a hydraulically powered machine that uses a steel rule to neatly cut or punch out shapes by propelling the die through the material.
The flatbed press can slit much thicker substrates with less waste. Additionally, this production tool ensures uniformity in the dimensions and shape of the dots, guaranteeing precise and efficient application of the adhesive.
Advantages
- Cutting in small and medium formats for very precise cuts
- Ability to ensure uniformity in the dimensions and shape of the dots
- This uniformity guarantees precise and efficient adhesive application, improving overall work quality
- Cost-effective production
- Ready for immediate use, increasing operational efficiency and simplifying workflow processes
Materials
This cutting technique is versatile and can be used to cut a variety of adhesive materials, including pressure-sensitive adhesives and thicker materials, while maintaining the quality of the finished products. Flatbed cutting is also suitable for adhesive foams, 3M™ Dual Lock™ reclosable fastener tapes, and Velcro® tapes.
