Flexible die options

Flexible dies install on compatible magnetic cylinders and help converters move quickly between short, mid-length, and promotional runs. Midway reviews liner, adhesive, caliper, and press data so the flexible die edge and setup recommendations are tied to the actual job.

  • AP type for pressure-sensitive labels, films, and general converting
  • NP Pinnacle for thicker foams, double-sided tapes, and laminates
  • Mixed-depth dies for combined kiss cuts, through cuts, and micro-perforation
  • Magnetic cylinder guidance for Mark Andy, Nilpeter, and ABG platforms

Coatings and cleanliness

Adhesive, ink, and liner behavior can make or break flexible die performance. Midway can recommend TS coating for adhesive or ink pick-up, hard-type AP for higher wear resistance, and DLC or titanium coatings for durability where the Tsukatani specification fits the application.

  • TS coating helps reduce glue and ink build-up
  • Hard-type AP targets higher wear resistance than standard AP
  • DLC and titanium coatings can be paired with hard-type builds
