| Die Cutting Method | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Rotary Die Cutting | Rotary die cutters cut and score soft to semi-rigid material by forcing it between the blades on a cylindrical die and a hard cylindrical anvil. Rotary die cutters are primarily used to cut material from a web (continuous roll), although they can be used to cut material in sheet form. | ||
| Steel Rule Die Cutting | Steel rule die cutters score and cut material into various shapes, as determined by the steel dies. Examples of products that are die cut are flat gaskets, puzzle pieces, and a presentation folder that has a pocket (the pocket is scored, folded, and glued). Steel rule die cutters can cut sheet material or material from roll stock. | ||

| Materials | |||
| Your choices are... | |||
| Electrical Insulating Material | Any of a variety of materials, such as mica and phenolic paper laminates, having good electrical insulating properties. These materials are used in a variety of electrical applications. | ||
| EMI/RFI Shielded Foil / Laminate | Foils and laminate materials to shield against electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. | ||
| Fabric | A material resembling cloth that is usually made by weaving or knitting natural or synthetic fibers and filaments. | ||
| Felt | Felt is a cloth made of wool and fur often mixed with natural or synthetic fibers through the action of heat, moisture, chemicals, and pressure. | ||
| Fiber / Cork / Paper | Any paper, cork, or other fibrous material. | ||
| Foam / Sponge | Any of various lightweight, porous, semi-rigid, or spongy materials. | ||
| Laminate | Laminates are created by layering different materials and bonding them together by adhesives, pressure, and/or heat. | ||
| Metals / Alloys | Supplier can die cut any of a variety of metal or alloy materials. A metal is any of a class of substances having high electrical and thermal conductivity as well as malleability, ductility, and high reflectivity of light. An alloy is a substance with metallic properties that is made up of two or more chemical elements, at least one of which is a metal. | ||
| Plastics | Any of numerous organic, synthetic, or processed materials that are mostly thermoplastic or thermosetting polymers of high molecular weight and that can be made into objects, films, or filaments. | ||
| PVC | Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a widely used material that has good flexibility, a smooth surface, and nontoxic qualities. Some grades are used in food and chemical processes due to the inert nature of PVC. Brand names include: ACP® and Dural® (Alpha Gary), Geon® (Geon), Benvic® (Solvay), Flexalloy® (Teknor Apex). | ||
| Rubber | Natural or synthetic high polymers characterized by their elasticity, high abrasion resistance, and fluid and chemical resistance. Natural rubber includes gum rubber (polyisoprene) and latex, and synthetic rubber includes many grades such as Norprene®, neoprene, and silicone. | ||
| Composites | A solid material comprised of two or more substances that have distinct properties. When merged, each substance retains its own characteristics while imparting the entire composition with beneficial properties. For example, a fibrous framework may be embedded in a plastic material in for greater structural stability. | ||
| Other | Other unlisted material. | ||
