Die-Cutting / Routing / Flatbed Cutter

Die-cutting is a versatile and innovative technique used in the printing industry to create custom shapes and designs for various materials, including paper, cardboard, and vinyl. By utilizing specialized cutting dies, die-cutting machines precisely cut through the material, allowing for intricate shapes and precise edges. This process is ideal for producing unique business cards, packaging, labels, and promotional materials that stand out from the crowd. Examples of die-cut products include stickers, vinyl decals, window clings, and product packaging inserts, each tailored to meet specific branding and marketing needs.

Routing and flatbed cutting are similar processes that involve cutting through materials using computer-controlled routers and cutting tables. These techniques are particularly well-suited for thicker materials such as foam board, acrylic, and wood. Routing involves cutting materials using a rotating cutting tool, while flatbed cutting uses a stationary blade to achieve clean, precise cuts. Both methods offer unparalleled precision and versatility, making them ideal for producing signage, displays, prototypes, and custom packaging. At NY Print Partners, we utilize state-of-the-art routing and flatbed cutting equipment to bring your creative visions to life with precision and efficiency. Examples of signage produced using flatbed cutting and routing include dimensional letters, custom-shaped signs, architectural elements, and intricate displays, showcasing the endless possibilities of these cutting-edge techniques.
