Champion Die Inc. produces high precision steel rule cutting dies for cutting and converting a variety of soft materials for your die cutting needs such as Acrylic, Cardboard, Fabric, Foam, Leather, Paper, Plastic, Vinyl.
| Steel-rule die, also known as cookie cutter dies, are used for cutting and converting a wide variety of soft materials. The cutting surface of the die is the edge of hardened steel strips, known as steel rule. These steel rules are usually located using saw or laser-cut grooves in a base material like plywood. The dies typically cut against a “Cutting Plate”. These plates can be a variety of materials from stainless steel, spring steel, UHMW plastic cutting pads, nylon cutting pads, and other various materials for different applications. In “Carton” die cutting, a “Counter Plate” is used in conjunction with a hardened steel cutting plate allowing the “scoring rule” to enter a “Groove” which creates a better “Creased Line”, aiding in the folding process of a typical box. Rubber strips are placed around the steel rule to act as the stripper plate; the rubber compresses on the down-stroke and on the up-stroke it pushes the workpiece out of the die. The main advantage of steel-rule dies is the low cost to make them, as compared to solid dies. | |
