Resources
Guides for printing dies, laser-cut dies, carton dies, label cutting dies and BOBST tooling, including files, dimensions, materials and quote preparation.
Choose a guide, then clarify the file.
These guides help clarify production decisions such as creasing, perforation, rubbering, rule height, file format and delivery timing before a job is reviewed.
Creasing, perforation and rubbering in carton cutting dies
A carton die needs more than clean cutting. Good creasing folds without cracking, perforation controls tearing and rubbering helps release the product.
Common label and carton die-cutting defects: a practical checklist
Most cutting defects can be reduced by checking drawing, material, pressure, crease behavior and waste release early.
How to choose rule height and steel rule type
Substrate thickness, cut depth, creasing requirements and press pressure all shape rule height and steel rule selection.
Creasing channel, board gsm and folding quality guide
Clean carton folding depends on crease line, channel width, board gsm and grain direction being reviewed together.
Crushing and folding problems in corrugated board dies
Corrugated die quality depends on flute type, press pressure, creasing choices and rubbering layout being evaluated together.
