BOBST die sets
BOBST cutting dies with stripping and blanking planned as one set
A BOBST job may require a cutting die, matched upper and lower tools, pre-stripping, stripping and blanking components. We confirm the required parts against the machine model, sheet layout and approved drawing so the quotation identifies the set being supplied.
Where this die fits
Stripping removes waste from the die-cut sheet. Blanking separates the finished carton blanks for delivery and stacking. On multi-up folding carton jobs, tool alignment and waste removal affect how consistently the press can run.
For part renewal or a full set, machine model, layout count and waste channels are reviewed together.

Machine-bed and set-part checks
Machine reference points, sheet layout, gripper margin, creasing arrangement and the required stripping and blanking parts are checked against the same approved production file. For a replacement part, its references must also match the existing set.
- Alignment of the cutting die and matched upper/lower tools
- Waste channels working without blockage
- Gripper and layout margins
- Set tolerance between all parts
Machine and job data required for a BOBST set
Send the machine model and working size with sheet layout, material, number-up and required set parts. For replacement tooling, add photos of the existing set and identify the station where the problem appears.

Common questions
1
Are BOBST dies made as a full set?
The cutting die and required upper/lower, stripping and blanking components can be planned together. The exact set depends on the press and job; identify the required stations when requesting a quote. Worn parts can also be assessed for separate replacement.
2
What is the difference between stripping and blanking?
Stripping removes waste from the die-cut sheet. Blanking separates the finished blanks for delivery and stacking. The required tools are selected for the sheet layout and machine stations.

Can you copy dimensions from an old BOBST set?
Yes. Old tooling, product samples or open drawings can be used to remake missing parts.
