Die cutting is a space that many commercial printers haven’t yet fully explored, making it ripe with opportunity for those willing to take that step. In the “Best Practices in Digital Finishing” report from NAPCO Research, it was found that just 60% of commercial printers today are offering die cutting services. When it comes to equipment, there are several factors to consider to ensure your operation gets the best die cutter suited for your needs.

Digital finishing is growing up. For a long time, digital finishing was restricted to small-format (B3) production. Highly automated, end-to-end solutions were available for low-volume, small-format applications such as books, mailers, and labels. Today, with the introduction of automated B2 solutions like the DocuCutter DPC-600 Digital Die Cutter from Duplo USA, that level of automation has been brought to a new range of applications from short-run packaging to commercial print products.

The Duplo booth at the inaugural PRINTING United, held Oct. 23-25 in Dallas, featured a variety of product debuts, showcasing the company's latest innovations in finishing and embellishments. Take an up-close look at all of the exciting developments that Duplo had on display.
