RF, vacuum and plastic packaging tooling
RF welding dies for PVC, PET and vacuum-formed plastic jobs
An RF die must solve more than the outside contour. Seal allowance, material thickness, corner radius and operator handling space all affect how the job runs.
Where this die fits
RF welding dies and vacuum-form trimming dies are used for PVC, PET, acetate, blister and cover materials where the cut line and seal line affect each other. The die is planned around closing, corner behavior and waste control.
A sample, measured sketch or PDF/AI/DXF file is enough to begin. Once material thickness and machine type are clear, rule height and base decisions become safer.
- RF welded packaging and covers
- Blister, hanger hole and window forms
- PVC, PET, acetate and clear plastic cutting
- Vacuum-form trimming and special-form dies
What we check before production
On plastic jobs, a small corner or clearance decision can change cracking, sticking and waste. We read the file as a working production tool.
- Seal allowance, cut line and corner radius
- Material thickness, hardness and surface finish
- Multi-up spacing and operator handling space
- Rule height, base choice and rubbering need
Quote information
A material sample or thickness note makes quoting much safer. If no file exists, a measured photo and requested outside form can start the job.
- PDF, AI, DXF or measured sketch
- PVC/PET/acetate thickness and surface
- Machine type and production quantity
- Seal, hanger hole, window or radius notes
Common questions
1Are RF and vacuum dies the same?
They belong to the same plastic-tooling family, but the production need can differ. RF jobs focus on seal allowance; vacuum jobs focus on form handling and trimming.
2Can one die cut both PVC and PET?
Material thickness and hardness change pressure and corner behavior, so the setup is checked separately.
3Can you make an RF die from a sample?
Yes. The sample is measured, seal and cut allowances are separated and a production-ready drawing is prepared.
