Stamp of Approval

Die update

DMS has recently introduced segmented rotary dies, a new hot stamping die design that is aimed at saving converters money on tooling costs. "Until now, when a job only required hot stamping in limited areas, the customer still had to buy a solid die to match the entire width and repeat of the job," explains Renee Newman, manager of customer service. "With this new product, the customer only has to buy engraved segments matching the areas that are actually being stamped, reducing their tooling costs to a fraction of what it would be for a solid die."
