What are die cut products?

Die cutting products is a processing technology that uses a die-cutting machine to cut materials into products of various shapes and sizes. It has the advantages of high efficiency, precision, and customization, and is widely used in various fields of manufacturing and life.

1. What are die cut products?
Die cutting is a common processing technology that uses a die-cutting machine to cut materials (such as paper, plastic, rubber, fabric, etc.) into products in the desired shape and size. It can be produced in various shapes and sizes, such as circles, squares, triangles, trapezoids, stars, etc. It can also be specially convex or convex to meet customized needs.
2. Characteristics of die cut products
1. Efficient and fast
Due to the use of mechanized and automated production, die-cut products have the characteristics of high production efficiency, stable product quality, and controllable costs. At the same time, it can be produced and processed in large quantities and is suitable for large-scale production.
2. High precision
Die cutting products can achieve precise control of product size, shape, and dimensions, and can meet the accuracy requirements of plate bevel, roundness, hole spacing, etc. Diversified product processing can be achieved through different die cutting molds.
3. Customizable
Die cutting products can be flexibly customized, and die cutting molds can be designed and produced according to product requirements to meet the different needs of printing, packaging, electronics, toys, medical, and other industries.

Common uses and structural classifications of die cut products

Die cutting is a processing technology that uses a punch to indent the product in the mold. In the traditional sense, die cutting is the general term for in-mold punching and indentation processing of printed packaging materials. With the continuous rise and development of electronic products, die cutting has developed from the traditional die-cutting of packaging and printing materials to high-precision soft products, such as adhesives, foams, meshes, conductive materials, etc.

Now, die cutting is not limited to the electronics or printing industries. Nowadays, all products that can be automatically punched and indented using a flat die cutting machine or a round-knife die-cutting machine are considered to be products of the die cutting industry, which involves more than just the electronic printing industry.
In production, we will encounter a variety of die-cut products, but ordinary die-cut products can be divided into the following categories according to their use and structure:
1. Glues.
Generally speaking, double-sided tape has only one side of the paper with glue, and the shape is the same as the glue; there is a piece of paper without glue, the shape is larger than the shape of the glue; there is also a whole piece of glued paper directly sandwiched between the two papers, with the same shape as the glue. The base paper is separated, and the materials include paper and PET. The separation force can also be selected according to customer requirements.

2. Glue + net.
Mainly used for dustproof and waterproofing. Die-cut the mesh into the required shape, and paste the double-sided tape in the required shape for customers to use, generally in the form of mesh + glue + lining paper. According to different needs, silk mesh gauze with different characteristics is selected, including waterproof, non-waterproof, and metal-plated.
There are also some common forms: facial tissue + glue + screen gauze + lining paper. This product has both the dust-proof function of silk mesh and the pasting function of double-sided tape.

3. Rubber + foam
Mainly used for shockproofing. That is, the foam and glue are covered together and the mold is cut into the desired shape. The general form is foam + glue + lining paper; there is another form: lining paper + foam + glue + lining paper. This product has the dual functions of shockproof and double-sided tape.
Different foam types will also play different roles, but these products are mostly used in the processing and assembly of electronic and digital products, as well as the bonding and fixing of advertising, electronic road signs, and LED boards.

4. Glue + foam + glue + net
The general form is net + glue + foam + base paper. It mainly functions as waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, or it can stick electronic components and housing together without falling off or shifting.
The main function of this product is to protect decorative products from damage. Some of them are very aesthetically demanding. However, some of today’s complex electronics require dense meshes of trach holes that are small and require higher data and precision.

5. Protective film
Mainly used to be attached to the surface of other products, such as lenses for protection. This product has very strict external requirements and does not allow scratches and dirt.
Usually, different protective film materials are selected according to different usage methods and requirements. Commonly used materials are Nitto7568, p1020, hr6030, etc. Some products are attached to other products and used during circulation to protect them. Generally, it will be torn off in the next link or process. Some protective films are directly attached to the finished product, such as mobile phone protective films, which require higher production requirements.

6. Glue + non-woven fabric
Can be dustproof and waterproof. Commonly used materials include: 3m9448, etc., which have good initial viscosity and maintaining viscosity, easy die-cutting processing, good stability, good viscosity for plastics, rubber, and rough surfaces; good retention at high temperatures, and can be used according to the tape The different colors are divided into white glue and black glue. Widely used in automobiles, digital cameras, LCDs, TVs, PDAs, notebooks, and other fields.

7. Other types
Such as conductive cloth, copper foil, aluminum foil, etc., mainly play the role of shielding and conduction. This die-cut product is used between the heat source and the heat sink. By removing the air between the heat source and the radiator, the heat distribution of electronic equipment is more even and the heat dissipation efficiency is improved. Generally speaking, various thermal interface materials need to have good thermal conductivity and surface wettability.

To sum up, today’s die-cut parts come in all kinds, and die-cutting equipment can also be used to process different materials, and is not limited to one kind of material. Die-cutting equipment with different performances can meet different die-cutting needs.
