Die Cut Matrix

Firstly in order to be able to select the proper creasing system it requires some details on the material to be cut and the cutting tool to be used.

Die cut matrix.

A die is a specialized tool used in manufacturing industries to cut or shape material mostly using a press like molds dies are generally customized to the item they are used to create products made with dies range from simple paper clips to complex pieces used in advanced technology. The flexible coating with a sturdy base enables a consistently high crease quality from the first to the last sheet even for extremely large runs. Its matrix is reinforced with a flexible steel base for optimum strength and wear resistance. Cito s die cutting and creasing lesson iii.

Close the press and ken score easily self locates and adheres to the cutting plate. Creasing matrix reduces downtime of the die cutting machine by enabling assured accurate location of the creasing rule and creasing base on the first attempt. So the die cuts out the label and excess material called matrix is removed. The die line is the outline of where the die will cut it is usually shown as a thick colored line in proofs.

Die cutting comes in many shapes and forms some of which are better suited for labels than others. The unique high performance film based creasing matrix. The self locating ability of a creasing matrix ensures a precise register between creasing rule die cutting plate and matrix creasing base plate allowing for more complex packaging designs to becoming possible from die cutting machines. To install fit the removable locator over the creasing rule.

The resulting die works as any other type of die in die cutting machines but performs in a much superior way due to the slippery surfaces edges etc which effectively synchronize the compression as well as the ejection close up to the steel rules although uneven anvils are used or uneven corrugated boards are processed. Creasing matrix steel base the range of duramatrix creasing matrix suitable for both paper and board products in both hand fed and automatic die cutting and creasing systems. Cutter cut device and scissors for a neat 45 mitre cut suitable for cutting all types and all thicknesses of cito creasing matrix. Duramatrix creasing matrix are fitted to die cutting plates or cylinder jackets in die cutting and creasing applications and act as part of a make ready counter die system into which the creasing rules end their down stroke and create a fold in the paper or card.
