In label jobs, the goal is often to cut the face stock while leaving the liner intact. That balance depends on rule height, material behavior and pressure control.
Liner cutting rarely has one cause
Rule height, pressure and liner strength are reviewed together because the result is often a combination of these factors.
- Face and liner thickness are shared.
- Adhesive type is stated.
- Previous pressure settings are noted.
Rule height is selected carefully
A deeper cut may release the label but can weaken the liner. Rule choice follows the actual material.
- One standard height is not assumed.
- Sample cutting is discussed when helpful.
- Material changes are shared.
Adhesive bleed affects cutting
Adhesive bleed changes blade behavior and makes stripping harder. Material condition is reviewed along with the die.
- Material age is reviewed.
- Adhesive bleed is photographed.
- Roll direction is stated.
A checklist reduces waste
On the first cut, check face cutting, liner mark, stripping ease and edge cleanliness together.
- Inspect the liner against light.
- Test stripping speed.
- Note edge burrs.
Quote details we clarify together
When the file, material, quantity and deadline are clear, the quote conversation moves faster and with less back-and-forth.
- Current revision file
- Material and quantity details
- Critical dimensions or production notes
- Deadline expectation and delivery preference
