Let’s compare the digital die-cutting method with the existing analog method.
First, there is a difference in preparing cutting line.
Since the steel die is made through bending as in a typical manufacturing way of analog method, which normally takes 3~5 hours, it is difficult to manufacture at the first place. However, the digital method uses a design program, and takes only 1 minute to prepare.
The analog method takes an hour to set-up, but with the digital method, the file can be simply saved and loaded again. If the cutting line has to be modified, it can be done immediately with the digital method. On the other hand, re-manufacture required for each error or requests for design changes are difficult to accommodate in the analog method.
Now the cutting has been completed. While the digital method simply saves the file for the completed cutting line, the analog method requires some separate storage area.
In general, the digital die-cutter, any-CUT III, can result in tenfold savings in terms of time and cost over the analog method. “Now, the digital laser die-cutter any-CUT III
can provide convenience and speed to all your label post-processing.
Glass fiber media (normally called reflective film) is widely using in garment market. This uses to make design stand out or uses in special garment (life vest, police vest ect). Conventionally, knife die cutting is commonly used to die cut reflective film but knife can be easily worn out due to media contains glass and cost of knife also too high to maintain.
