A die-cutting machine is a versatile tool used in various industries, such as printing, packaging, crafting, and manufacturing. It is designed to precisely cut or shape materials into specific patterns or designs, providing efficient and accurate results. The machine utilizes a sharp, custom-made die, which is a specialized cutting tool, to cut through materials like paper, cardstock, fabric, leather, and even thin metal.
These machines come in different types and sizes, ranging from manual hand-operated models to automated electric or computer-controlled versions. Manual machines require the operator to turn a crank or lever, applying pressure to the die and material, while electric or computerized machines automate the cutting process, offering increased speed and precision.
