What is a Rotary Die?
A die, also referred to as tooling, is a tool used to cut a shape out of a material. One of IBT’s primary specialties is rotary die cutting, which is a special kind of die cutting that uses a cylindrical die to cut shapes out of material. As the die moves around in circular motions, the blades on the die cut out the desired shape. Rotary die cutting is suitable for a variety of materials, including plastic, paper, foam and laminates.

Benefits of Rotary Die Cutting
Die cutting presses are capable of cutting a wide range of designs with several advantages. Some of these advantages include:

Reduced Material Waste
Consistent and Uniform Cuts
High Volume Production
Speed to Market
With a custom rotary die, the design is engrave into the tool, allowing the cuts to be easily repeated with a high degree of precision and accuracy. Through this process the precision and accuracy helps reduce material waste as the die cuts can be spaced within a tighter tolerance. The dies’ solid construction provides durability and longevity, decreasing the need for replacement during production runs which shortens lead times.
