Fully Automated Manufacturer
As a fully automated manufacturer, we offer rapid production capabilities, ensuring your parts are delivered quickly and accurately, even for bulk orders.
Die Cutting
High-Speed Precision Die Cutting for Production-Ready Parts
Sheets and rolls, cut to precise shapes
Die cutting converts sheet and roll material into precise shapes using a specialized die and CNC equipment. It's the production backbone of our precision die cutting services, built for high-speed accuracy and cost efficiency at volume.
We run both rotary and flatbed presses, backed by our own in-house die cut tooling, so the right press and die get matched to your material and run length rather than forcing every job through one process.

Die Cutting
Why die cutting
A production die repeats the exact same cut run after run, making die cutting the most efficient way to hit consistent quality at high volume.
Die cutting is also often combined with finishing techniques like lamination or adhesive application in the same pass, so a part can arrive ready to use rather than needing a second operation.
How We Cut With Die Cutting
Rotary Die Cutting
High-speed cutting for roll-fed material, built for high-volume production runs.
Flatbed Die Cutting
Sheet-fed cutting suited to shorter runs, thicker materials, and designs that need precise registration.
Finishing and Lamination Integration
Lamination or adhesive application combined into the same production pass, so parts arrive ready to use.
Creasing and Scoring
Controlled fold lines cut to a partial depth for clean, repeatable folds in packaging and displays.
Kiss Cutting
Partial-depth cuts that leave a backing liner intact, our standard method for labels and adhesive-backed parts.
Die Cut Tooling
The custom rotary and flatbed dies that give every die-cut part its exact shape, built in-house.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is die cutting?
Die cutting converts sheet or roll material into precise shapes using a specialized die and CNC equipment, built for speed, accuracy, and cost efficiency at production volume.
What's the difference between rotary and flatbed die cutting?
Rotary die cutting runs roll-fed material at high speed, built for high-volume production. Flatbed die cutting runs sheet-fed material and suits shorter runs, thicker stock, or designs that need precise registration.
Can die cutting be combined with lamination or adhesive application?
Yes. Die cutting is often combined with finishing techniques like lamination or adhesive application in the same production pass, so a part arrives ready to use instead of needing a second operation. See Adhesive Lamination.
Do I need a CAD file to get started?
Yes. Die cutting runs from your CAD file. Get started by selecting your desired material, choosing our Cut to Shape service, and walking through the steps to configure your part.
How fast can I get a die-cut prototype?
Prototyping can ship in as fast as 1 day; production runs typically ship in about 10 business days.
What tolerances can I expect from die cutting?
Die cutting runs on roll and sheet stock, so it falls under our standard roll & sheet stock material thickness tolerance: ± 0.005″–0.010″, depending on material type and manufacturer.
Can die cutting produce parts for electrical or electronic components?
Yes. Die cut insulators, spacers, and gaskets are common in electrical and electronic assemblies, where precise, repeatable shapes matter for fit and clearance. We cut from foam, rubber, plastic, and other dielectric materials to your specifications.
More Than Just Die Cut Parts
With Rapid Die Cut, you can validate materials, test designs, and move from prototyping to full production — all through one partner.
