Die cutting is the process of drilling, cutting and shaping materials such as paper, rubber, fiber or cardboard.

Industrial die-cutting machines are mainly used in the packaging industry and are known to be very durable. Rotary die cutting is a quick and cost-effective way to manufacture products without compromising the speed of construction. This is a great way to create items like boxes and other packaging materials.

Laser die cutting, on the other hand, involves using a high-speed laser to cut material. Lasers can be used to make a variety of cuts, and they do not come into contact with the material. If your business needs a cheaper option, then a rotary die cutting machine would be the perfect choice. Laser die cutting machines generally last longer but are a bit more expensive than rotary die cutting machines.

                                               

Advantages of rotary die cutting
Adaptable: Rotary die-cutting technology can handle a variety of materials, including paper, foam, plastic and metal. This makes it very useful in diverse product manufacturing, especially projects that require working with different materials.
Fast speed: Since the rotating mold already has the required cutting shape, the rotary die cutting operation is very fast, especially suitable for mass production.
Multipurpose: Rotary die cutting can not only perform cutting, but also perform various tasks such as embossing and laminating, improving production efficiency and flexibility.
Cost-Effectiveness: For standard shapes and designs that require high-volume production, rotary die-cutting is often more cost-effective because it reduces the need for mold changes and the associated costs.

Advantages of laser die cutting
High precision: Laser die-cutting technology shows extremely high precision when processing complex and delicate designs, able to retain every detail, and is suitable for products with high precision requirements.
Easy maintenance: Laser die cutting machines generally have a long service life and low maintenance costs. Since there are no physical molds or blades, the need for replacement and sharpening is reduced.
Easy to operate: With proper training, laser die cutting machines are relatively simple and intuitive to operate, helping to increase production efficiency.
High degree of automation: Laser die-cutting machines are often equipped with highly automated systems that reduce labor requirements and increase production efficiency and consistency.
Applications in business

When choosing between rotary die cutting and laser die cutting, companies need to consider the following factors:

Production volume: For high-volume, standardized products, rotary die cutting may be a more suitable choice.
Design Complexity: If the product design is complex and requires high precision, laser die cutting will provide better results.
Material type: For materials that are difficult to cut or require diverse processing, rotary die cutting is more advantageous.
Cost considerations: Long-term operating costs need to be evaluated, including equipment investment, maintenance and production costs.
