From the beginning of 2016 to this year, the label die-cutting machine has undergone significant changes, oblique pressure flat high-speed die-cutting machine gradually replaced the flat pressure flat die-cutting machine market share, has entered a white-hot stage, emerging more and more printing machinery manufacturers are eager to try to join the production of high-speed die-cutting machine team. Here I warmly remind the friends of the printing business, in the selection of machines, in the case of speed requirements, more test manufacturers of high-speed die-cutting machine running stability, such as foil stamping pressure, die-cutting pressure adjustment. It is recommended to test the use of different shapes and sizes of label products.
As we know, speed is extremely important for the market." It is also an important factor in the trend towards high-speed die-cutting machines.
David Morris, president of Kocher+Beck, "Die-cutting tool suppliers must stay on top of what label customers are asking of their printers, as every label printer seeks shorter lead times, higher product quality, and lower product prices," Morris says. "We will continue to invest in the latest and most efficient printing equipment to shorten production lead times so that we can meet our customers' needs. Such investments also bring us long-term benefits." Morris added: "So far we have been able to compensate for the increasing cost of raw materials, which means we do not need to jack up prices for our customers. However, we don't rely on sacrificing product quality to profit from lead times and product prices. As label backings get thinner and thinner, higher die-cutting speeds, shorter downtimes and the provision of accurate, high-quality products are becoming more important than ever.
Noting the demand for high quality products in developing markets, Andre Gysbers of Wink says: "The increasing demand for higher quality label products in the Chinese or South East Asian markets has become an obvious trend, influenced by the insistence of multinational label printers who have invested in local factories on high quality printing and die-cutting. "
"For most industries, getting orders done quickly and at a lower cost is what everyone wants." Says Todd Westover of Wilson.
High-speed die cutting machines are rigid die cutting, although in Europe and the United States, flexible die cutting is gaining momentum, but for many die cutting material requirements, rigid die cutting is more suitable for different materials, as well as repeat orders and larger quantities of die cutting products. Because flexible die cutting will be subject to the substrate and thickness limitations, Wink's Gysbers said: "in die cutting thicker or harder materials, flexible die cutting performance is somewhat insufficient, it is for this reason, rigid die cutting will inevitably also have a larger share of the market in the future."
