Global Die-Cutter Market: Market Outlook

A die-cutter or a die cutting machine is used to cut various shapes of a paper or a card with the use of the die by the process of shearing the webs of low strength material like cloth, rubber, paper, plastic, etc. The shapes and designs can be customized and designed depending upon the selection of the dye.

The die-cutter machine enhances its precise and sharp paper or any other material cutting process with the combination of cutting plates and rollers which create pressure on the die and finally push it through the paper.

While cutting the paper or a card with neat and precise outlines, the cutting plates are sandwiched between the paper/card and the die and then which can result in a neat, sharp, and specific product. A die-cutter can be used for numerous operational applications like through cutting, perforating, kiss cutting, scoring, and creasing.

What are the Key Trends Impacting Growth of the Die-Cutter Market?

The carbide rotary die-Cutter (NT Die-Cutter) is used to cut contours of different products like paper or non-woven fabrics which are difficult to proceed with the conventional stamping die method with high precision and a high speed. This cutter comprises three-dimensional cutter blades, which are present on the cylindrical outer surface of the die-cutter and an anvil roll.

The carbide rotary die-cutter is applied with the cemented carbides and machining technologies which helps in improving the product-life cycle of the die-cutter as compared to the conventional die-cutter. Along with the improvement in the product life cycle, the new carbide rotary die-cutter also provides numerous advantages such as excellent cutting ability, high-speed operation, and high reliability.

On the other part, the laser die-cutters are gaining pace, the reason being it does not require any contact with the material and enhances the use of a high-speed laser to cut through the substrate. They are used to cut various materials such as fabric, paper, plastic, rubber, etc. and into various shapes.

How is the Demand for Electric Die-Cutter Increasing as compared to the Manual Die-Cutter?

When compared to the manual die-cutter, its functions and operations work on the manual handle which needs to turn or rotate, which then turns the rollers to move the sandwich (cutting plates & the material) through between the rollers. But, if the die-cutter’s handle is reluctant to turn or rotate, it may lead to the improper and imprecise cutting of the cloth, paper, etc. An electric die-cutter works automatically without any manual handling which in turn results in a correct sandwich through the rollers without the occurrence of any error.

What are the Key Challenges that may restrain the Growth of the Die-Cutter Market?

The operation of the die-cutter requires technical knowledge about the machine and skills along with the various processes that are involved while cutting the material with the use of a die.

The cutting tool has a sharp blade and can prove dangerous if operated without any skill or background knowledge about the machine. The die-cutter needs a new die for each new design, which can be costly to the manufacturer.
