When making or repairing steel
rule dies, precision is key. At McGehee Die, we pride
ourselves on our ability to produce accurate dies at
competitive prices. We make high quality dies by hand and
our quality control procedures verify the accuracy of each
die. We work with our customers every step of the way to see
that the dies are properly made to maintain proper
clearance. The process of
steel rule die cutting involves cutting a variety of
materials including paper, plastic, foam, rubber,
paperboard, corrugated fiberboard and cardboard.
The steel rule die process is
an inexpensive method used for trimming parts. Steel rule
dies can be used to create creases, slits or perforations as
well as cut out shapes. Our dies are constructed of
high-density plywood that is free of imperfections and
voids, along with pre-hardened and pre-sharpened steel.
Our dies can be used on a
variety of flatbed die cutters such as Bobst, Kluge,
Thompson, Zed and clicker presses among others. Flatbed
diecutters offer high accuracy and are able to cut a wide
variety of materials. Flatbed die cutters can cut, crease,
trim or score materials including cardboard, plastics,
abrasives, aluminum, textiles, leather and film.
We also make dies that can be
used on roller die cutters such as Visual, Ampak, Starview
and others. Roller die cutters can also handle a wide
variety of materials including cardboard, foam, cork, rubber
and are versatile enough to handle a full range of low to
high production requirements.
Below is a sampling of the dies
we can build for your applications. Each die is hand tooled
from your specifications. We are familiar with all types of
flat bed die cutters, roller die cutters, and blister
sealers and have seventy years experience in making dies. |
