Classic Acrylics, Inc. is pleased to provide custom die cutting services, steel rule plastic die cutting, and precision plastic die cutting service solutions. Our clam shell cutter utilizes a maximum sheet size of 36” x 50”, supported by a 35” x 51” bed, 60-ton clamshell die cutter engineered for precision cutting and consistent repeatability across production runs. This equipment allows for efficient processing of a wide range of plastic materials while maintaining tight tolerances and clean edge quality.
Most materials can be die cut at .060” thickness or less, including ABS, polyethylene, polypropylene, P.E.T.G., rigid PVC, and others.
Our plastic die cutting services extend beyond basic steel-rule cutting to include value-added operations such as crease, score, hole punch, and letter stamping for identification and functional forming. These capabilities support more complete part production and reduce the need for secondary processing.
Plastic die cutting is commonly used in association with fabrication projects, including sign holders, machine guards, shields, dividers, trays, and various custom components. The cost of steel rule dies is also relatively affordable, helping provide cost efficiency across both short-run and production-scale projects.
What Is Plastic Die Cutting?
Plastic die cutting is a manufacturing process used to cut flat plastic sheet materials into precise shapes using a steel rule die and a high-pressure press system. It is commonly used when parts need to be consistent, repeatable, and produced with clean, accurate edges.
A plastic die cutting service is ideal for applications that require speed, repeatability, and cost efficiency compared to more labor-intensive fabrication methods. Because the process works from a fixed die, it ensures that every cut part matches the same dimensions, making plastic die cutting a reliable solution for production environments where consistency matters.
In short, plastic die cutting is a practical and efficient way to turn sheet plastic into usable, production-ready components with minimal variation and strong repeatability.
