Serving the Steel Rule Die Industry Since 1958

Rotary Dies

A rotary die is a cutting tool which is cylindrical in nature. Sharpened steel blades are bent and formed around the outer surface of the cylinder to the pattern to be cut. The blades are held in position with high density plywood. Blade thickness typically runs between .056 and .112 inches. Fold lines, scores, and perf cuts can all be made. The diecutter is similar in principal to the old time laundry wringers except on a much larger scale. The die replaces one roller in our wringer example with the material to be cut replacing the laundry. Rotary dies are primarily used in the corrugated box industry but most web fed materials can be cut as well. See Die Cutters for a listing of machines which we manufacture steel rule dies.
