According to the different imprinting methods, the die-cutting machine is mainly divided into three types: round pressing, round pressing and flat pressing. According to the form of the template placement, it can be divided into vertical and horizontal. Manual (semi-automatic) and automatic according to the degree of automation. In terms of function, in addition to die-cutting, there is a bronzing function, which is called a hot stamping die-cutting machine, and some have an automatic stripping function, which is called a stripping die-cutting machine.

The circular die-cutting machine is characterized by low wire contact, low die-cutting pressure and high production efficiency. It can be connected with offset printing machines, flexo printing machines, gravure printing machines and other printing equipments for in-line die cutting, so the application range is wide. . One roller is equivalent to the impression cylinder, and pressure is applied during die cutting; the other is a roller die. There are two types of drum cutters, wood and metal. The former is mainly die-cut thick corrugated cardboard. The latter has metal drum cutters processed by chemical etching or electronic engraving. It is mainly used for die-cutting of labels and trademarks. There is also a metal roller die cutter mainly used for medium and high-grade long-line products, in the form of press-cut or shear.
   The circular flat die cutting machine is currently used in the market very few, there is no professional manufacturer in China, so I won't go into details here. The flat die cutting machine is the most widely used type at present, and it is also the model with the most manufacturers at home and abroad. Domestically, there are manufacturers such as Shanghai Yahua, Tangshan Yuyin, Beiren Group, Henan Xinji Group, Beijing Shengli Weiye Printing Machinery Co., Ltd.; foreign countries include Swiss BOBST, Germany IMG, Japan ASAHI, American Standard Carton Machinery Company, Spain IBERICA, South Korea YoungShin Machinery Co., Ltd., Japan IIJIMA and Heidelberg and other manufacturers. The flat die cutting machine can be used for various types of die cutting, which can be used for manual paper-feeding semi-automatic die-cutting, as well as automatic high-speed linkage die-cutting; it can mold corrugated cardboard, cardboard, stickers, and Die-cut rubber, sponge, metal sheet, etc.
