Die-Cutting
Die-cutting is a process in printing that involves using sharp blades or dies to cut and shape paper or other materials into specific forms or designs.
Uses in Printing:
- Custom Shapes: Creating unique and intricate shapes, such as logos, labels, and packaging.
- Embossing and Debossing: Impressing or raising designs on paper to create dimensionality.
- Perforations: Creating tear-off sections, such as on postage stamps or tickets.
- Foil Stamping: Applying metallic foil to die-cut areas for added visual appeal.
- Intricate Cutouts: Creating decorative cutouts within cards, brochures, or invitations for a distinctive look.
- Window Cutouts: Allowing for clear sections or "windows" in packaging or printed materials.
- Kiss Cutting: Partially cutting through the material, leaving a layer intact for added strength or flexibility.
