Die Cuttable Materials

THE ALMOST NEVER COMPLETE LIST OF DIE CUTTABLE MATERIALS Using all types of cutting dies

Below are listed a number of materials that are currently being diecut using different types of flat, multi-contour or rotary cutting dies. Within each material there are numerous varieties and variations. Some of the types may fall under other types. This list is intended only to demonstrate the wide range of materials that are today being diecut or trimmed utilizing different types of dies. For example, a paper material could be laminated with a film, a cloth fabric coated or impregnated with a rubber material. Carpeting or fabrics, for example, could be a natural fiber like wool or a synthetic fiber like polypropylene or blends thereof depending upon the final use of the material in a product. Many fabrics are blends of natural fibers (cotton, wool) and man-made materials such as a polyester thread ei, fabrics of 60% cotton, 40% polyester. Many materials used to make gaskets are often blends or combinations of materials to perform specific functions.

Many materials are formulations, laminations or composites of different materials for specific applications. Some materials are trade mark registered names belonging to certain groups of materials ei, LEXAN® is a high impact polycarbonate plastic material.
