Die-cutting and Laser-cutting | Quality Printing London
6 September 2016
The Industrial Revolution was the advent of the die-cutting process. During this era, manufacturers started
using this process to quickly cut out distinct shapes of leather. The practice of die-cutting was gradually
migrated from leather shoes, belts, bags, toys, textiles to paper and board in later years.
The die-cutting machine consists of a wood mounted steel die that features shaped blades to cut out shapes
on paper and board. Used for folders, envelopes, windows in report covers, invitations, business cards,
and office stationery, die-cutting can create many unusual shapes, curved edges and bespoke apertures.
Now the printing industry is revolutionised through the introduction of digital design methods. Look at the
LASER-CUTTER which radically changed the way prints are designed and produced!
