Auto-lock base and fast assembly for food boxes
In burger and takeaway boxes a crash-lock base, lock tab and crease balance enable fast assembly on coated board.
Building a box dieline from product dimensions
From product width, depth and height to a box blank: crease and glue allowances and cut, crease, perforation layer split.
What should you ask before choosing a cutting die workshop?
Choosing the right die workshop means asking concrete questions about tolerance, samples, revisions, lead time and material experience.
Why does lead time change in cutting die production?
Cutting die lead time depends on file clarity, material, revision approval, die complexity and workshop queue working together.
How to prepare a dieline for carton box dies
Carton die drawings are safer when cut, crease, lock, flap and glue allowance details are clearly separated.
Why machine size and board fit matter when ordering BOBST dies
BOBST tooling risk rises when machine size, board fit, holding points and waste separation are not clarified early.
How to test kiss-cut depth in label dies
A kiss-cut depth test checks whether the label separates cleanly while the liner remains protected.
What is the difference between creasing and perforation?
Creasing manages folding behavior, while perforation manages controlled tearing; separating them correctly is critical in tooling.
What is different in laser-cut die preparation?
Laser-cut die preparation emphasizes drawing accuracy, rule channels, board workmanship and repeat-production precision.
How to prepare a sample brief for custom industrial cutting dies
A sample brief for custom industrial dies clarifies material, tolerance, hole centers, use case and test expectations.
Key details for faster quoting
Creasing, perforation, rubbering, rule height, file format and delivery timing are easier to review when they are written clearly.
