Rotary die expertise across demanding industries

Label and narrow-web converters rely on flexible dies for label printing to keep up with short- and mid-run SKUs, foil embellishments, and private-label programs without sacrificing speed. MRD engineers tune bearers, shim stacks, and magnetic cylinders so each flex die lands on target even as liners, varnishes, and adhesive coat weights change.

Flexible dies for narrow-web label printing demand polished edges that ride lightly on pressure-sensitive papers, film, and foil. With balanced cylinders and annotated setup notes, changeovers drop to minutes and operators get repeatable kiss-cut windows.

Rotary die cutting for pressure-sensitive labels works best when the die body, anvils, and press data are built as a matched system. We document pressure bands for BOPP, PET, direct-thermal, and foil-laminate constructions so uptime stays high even when promotion calendars keep the SKU mix shifting.

Medical rotary die cutting covers wearables, wound dressings, biosensor tapes, and disposable diagnostic pads built from multi-layer stacks. We qualify hydrocolloid adhesives, breathable films, and liners in our engineering review so delicate features keep their geometry after lamination.

Rotary die cutting for medical devices and diagnostics depends on tight tolerances, burr-free edges, and smooth transitions as the web carries adhesives, foams, and membranes. MRD solid rotary dies are ground to +/-0.0002" and paired with inspection reports that fit IQ/OQ/PQ requirements.

Traceability extends beyond the first shipment. Every tool is logged with press settings, liner compatibility, and approved resharpen counts so engineering and quality teams know exactly when to rotate tooling or order a duplicate.

Powertrain, EV battery, and interior programs use rotary die cutting for automotive components that carry PSA-backed foils, flame-retardant wraps, and vibration damping layers. MRD solid tooling holds parallelism across wide webs so multi-cavity dies stay balanced over long production runs.

We routinely build rotary die-cut gaskets from foam, rubber, and sponge materials such as PORON, EPDM, and silicone sponge to control NVH and seal thermal zones. Optional slug removal, kiss-cut relief pockets, and vacuum transfer help keep cavities clean even when adhesive builds heat.

Tier suppliers lean on lifecycle tracking to plan rebuilds before PPAP parts drift. Documented wear inspections, resharpen data, and replacement schedules mean your tooling budget covers uptime, not scrap and emergency freight.

Rotary die cutting for film and foil demands mirror-finished anvils and polished cutting edges so clear-to-clear constructions stay clean at speed. We pair dies with run-ready setup notes that spell out nip pressure and vacuum assist for shrink films, barrier laminates, and lidstock.

Rotary die cutting for adhesive tapes and laminates often mixes PET carriers, copper foil, and foam spacers on the same repeat. Our engineering team models stack-ups, kiss-cut depths, and slug removal so perforations, scores, and peel tabs exit the press without rework.

Whether you are slitting release liners, building multi-layer pouches, or prepping conductive tapes for electronics, MRD supplies matched die/anvil sets and on-press troubleshooting to keep throughput high.

We specify tool steels, coatings, and relief pockets that survive abrasive liners, ceramic-filled films, and coated composites. Micro-polished anvils and dual-height tooling protect kiss cuts on mixed caliper webs while keeping burrs off the finished parts.

Documented inspection checkpoints and resharpen plans mean you can run aggressive liners with confidence and know exactly when a die needs to be sharpened, recoated, or fully rebuilt.

Our engineering-first rotary die partnership covers R&D laminates, RFID antennas, battery tabs, and printed electronics that need quick iteration. Application discovery sessions explore perf patterns, kiss cuts, and vacuum assist long before the first roll hits the press.

Lifecycle tracking, serialized tooling, and ISO-backed documentation help emerging programs scale without losing control of cut quality or traceability.
