Thin Is In
With brand owners specifying ever-thinner substrates, die-makers offer solutions for getting the best cuts on challenging materials.
Driven by brand owner desires for lower costs, thinner substrates—some just 23 microns or thinner—have become increasingly common on the presses of many converters. On one hand, thinner stocks can reduce material costs, require fewer reel changes, and can decrease waste and reel weight. But thin materials can also pose difficulties for converters when it comes to diecutting and trimming.
