Custom Article Dies
Precision flatbed tooling designed for non-standard geometric shapes, specialized retail inserts, point-of-sale displays, leather crafts, and industrial plastic cutouts. Engineered to execute complex, intricate pathways cleanly.
Engineered for Complex Profiles
Article dies are built to handle custom, irregular cutting shapes. Our engineering team intakes complex AutoCAD shapes and plots ideal bridging paths to ensure board stability during high-speed platen stamp runs.
Depending on the target material (e.g. rigid plastics, cardboard sheets, leather, or foams), we adjust the edge profile, steel rule hardness, and ejection pad configurations (using neoprene or dense foam) to eliminate material sticking and paper tears.

Article Dies FAQ
We accept professional vector format layout files including AutoCAD DXF (.DXF), CF2 (.CF2), Adobe Illustrator (.AI), and EPS. Our design department cleans and prepares vector curves for laser pathway programming.
Yes. Our article dies cut non-paper materials like industrial foams, thin plastics (PET, PVC, PP), leather, fabrics, and composites. We customize the steel rules (using harder rule edges) to ensure long-term durability when stamping dense materials.
