Cutting Rule

Flat Bed and Rotary Rules – both essential components in die cutting, each tailored to suit different production methods

Flat Bed Rule

Flat bed rule is used in flatbed die cutting systems. The rule itself is typically a straight, high-carbon steel blade mounted into a flat wooden die board. This setup allows the material to be cut vertically, making it suitable for precise and detailed work. Flat bed rules are ideal for shorter production runs or when working with thicker or more varied materials, such as folding cartons, foam, and gaskets.

Centre Bevels

Each rule features a hardened cutting tip (standard HV620) with a standard body hardness of HV360 and a decarburised surface to aid in bending during tool preparation

Crease Rule

Available in 2pt, 3pt, and 4pt thicknesses, it suits a wide range of material types and creasing requirements

Cut Crease Rule

With heights up to 50mm available, this rule is ideal for applications where accurate fold lines and partial cuts are essential

Laser Crease (Flat Bed Rule)

Designed with reduced body thickness and shaped tops, it allows for cleaner folds while minimising material stress

Perforating Rule

With a standard gullet depth of 3mm and heights available up to 50mm, this rule delivers consistent performance across various substrates

Stripping Rule (Flat Tooth)

1mm depth and 50mm height, it’s designed to strip excess material cleanly and efficiently, maintaining the integrity of the final cut

Stripping Rule (Triangle)

Available in 3mm, 5mm, and 6.5mm pitch options with a 1mm depth, and supplied at a standard height of 50mm

Rotary Rules

Designed for use in rotary die cutting machines. Unlike the flat version, the rotary rule is curved to match the cylindrical shape of a rotary die board. This type of rule enables continuous, high-speed cutting, making it highly efficient for long production runs. Rotary rules are most commonly used in the manufacture of corrugated packaging, such as cardboard boxes and display units, where speed and volume are critical.

Creasing Rule (4pt)

Ideal for use in packaging and box manufacturing, this rule ensures clean, defined creases that support accurate folding and assembly

Euro Cut

Available in 8, 10, and 12 teeth per inch (TPI), this rule offers flexibility to suit various cutting requirements and material types

IBIS Serrated Punch

The IBIS Serrated Punch features an inside bevel combined with internal serrations, delivering sharp, clean cuts with reduced cutting pressure

Laser Crease

Available with a 6pt top on a 4pt body crown top or an 8pt top on a 4pt body crown top

Serrated Centre Bevel

This serrated rotary punch features a precision-ground centre bevel for efficient and clean punching performance

Serrated Cut Crease Rule

Commonly used in packaging designs - this rule enables consistent results and clean finishes, even at high production speeds

Serrated Perf Rule

Featuring a precision-toothed edge with a range of cut/gap configurations to suit various material types and performance needs

Standard Serrated Cut

Available in 8 and 12 teeth per inch (TPI), this rule offers versatility for different cutting profiles and substrate types
