Thermal Dies
There's Nothing Like a Hot Kiss
There's just nothing like it! From fleet markings
to self-adhesive alphabets, from delicate pin stripings to splattered-effect
decals, from kid's stickers to safety signage, thermal kiss-cutting offers
a world of possibilities for the graphic arts industry. Also known as
face cutting, or just thermal diecutting, this technique gives designers,
screenprinters, and diecutters the ability to create products with complex
designs and intricate details unachievable with conventional steel-rule
cutting dies.
Within this section of Tech Tips you’ll find a complete overview
