Steel Rule Die Cutting – the process of using a flat die made with wood and hardened steel rules.This process is best suited for lower quantity orders where raw materials come in sheet form only and thicker materials that can be cut with straight edges (e.g. 2" thick foams).
Class A Die Cutting – a process using a male and femaleprecision die set, also known as "compound tooling".This type of tooling will produce the highest quality of cut with the least amount of burrs on the die cuts and the closest tolerances in the industry (+/- .001").
Pouching – the process of packaging a product in a multi-layer laminated structure, which can be plastic, foil, or paper with a heat sealable coating on the material.
Slitting/Rewindingis a shearing operation that cuts a large roll of material into narrower rolls. There are two types of slitting: log slitting and rewind slitting. In log slitting the roll of material is treated as a whole (the 'log') and one or more slices are taken from it without an unrolling/re-reeling process.
