cutting and creasing
Cutting and creasing technology represents a fundamental process in the packaging and printing industry, combining precision cutting with strategic creasing to create professional-quality folded products. This sophisticated process employs specialized equipment that simultaneously performs both cutting and creasing operations, ensuring accurate and consistent results. The technology utilizes a combination of sharp cutting rules and blunt creasing rules mounted on a single die board, allowing for efficient production of boxes, folders, and various packaging materials. Modern cutting and creasing machines incorporate advanced features such as digital controls, automated positioning systems, and precise pressure adjustment capabilities, enabling operators to achieve exceptional accuracy and repeatability. The process is essential for creating clean, professional folds without cracking or breaking the material, particularly important when working with heavier stocks or specialized materials. Applications range from simple folder production to complex packaging solutions, including retail packaging, promotional materials, and custom presentation folders. The technology accommodates various material thicknesses and types, from standard paper to corrugated board, making it versatile for different industry needs.
