Die Cutters

Die Cutting Machine Guide for Print Shops

A die cutting machine punches precise shapes from PVC sheet, laminated card stock and badge blanks — the core step between printing and finishing for ID card businesses and badge makers across India. Desktop lever presses and rotary trimmers in this hub handle round corners, oval portrait windows, keychain slots and custom badge outlines that scissors or guillotine cutters cannot repeat accurately at volume.

Match die size to your card format before ordering. CR80 oval dies suit standard portrait ID photos; round badge dies align with 32 mm, 44 mm and 58 mm button badge setups. Stack height matters — thin PVC punches cleanly in one pass; thicker laminated sheets may need fewer layers per stroke to protect the die edge. Source compatible blank PVC cards and thermal foils sheets from the same supplier so sheet thickness stays consistent across production runs.

AbhishekID stocks die cutters alongside general cutters and badgeaccessories so print shops can punch, laminate and assemble badges without chasing spare dies from overseas. When you need rounded corners after punching, pair dies with a corner cutter hub; for straight trimming before die work, browse the cutters collection for guillotine and stack cutters.
