Getting the Right Impression

Naturally, to control unit cost and to meet the scale of product output required in high volume folding carton applications manufacturers inevitably gravitate toward the most efficient technology available. In this field of rotary diecutting the use of Rotary Pressure Cut and Rotary Crush Cut technology, where tools are made from machined sections and components, are the dominant system of converting. The technical advantage of separating creasing and cutting into a sequential alignment of upper and lower machined cylinders is the most efficient method of delivering a printed, precise, and fully separated, folding carton, at high output speed. The barriers to entry in this system of manufacturing are the high cost of tool design and fabrication, the lead time required for toolmaking, and the investment in several modular press units into which the tools must be installed. Although there are a limited number of toolmakers in this field, Bernal Rotary Systems, is a world leader in this technology.
