Die cutters include all the components required for fabricating materials such as metal, paper, leather, rubber, vinyl, plastic, fabric, wood and magnetic strips. The components include sharp steel stamps and rollers called dies and die cutting machines. These are used to cut the material into the desired shape and size.

The two main die cutting processes are steel rule and rotary die cutting. The former is used to cut straight lines across sheets of material, and the latter is used to cut materials into different shapes. However, both the processes can do creasing, perforation and slitting.

The basic process of die cutting starts from by placing material and metallic die into a fabricating machine. The machine has rollers that push the material against the dies giving it the desired cut, design or shape. Blades used in the rotary process are made from tungsten carbide, which is a hard and expensive substance. The upfront cost for setting up die cutting based on the rotary process is relatively low, but the cost of replacing old blades is high. Die cutter systems and equipment installed in manufacturing industries are fully automated. Material is fed automatically into the system, fabricated and delivered as a finished product that is ready for consumption.

Die cutters are also available for use in domestic households. These are small and can be purchased from machine shops or Internet websites. Customers who want to create new designs of book covers and picture frames can purchase one of these. They cost anywhere from $50 to $ 500.

Demand for these cutters has increased over the years. However, new technology like the laser die cutting process, are already in use. These are much faster and accurate than other processes. The type of die cutting process is selected based on volume, type of material and funds available by the manufacturer.
