Application
Full-Cut and Half-Cut in a Single Pass Using UCHIDA AeroDieCut
Precision Die-Cutting Meets Creative Design
In this case study, we showcase how AeroDieCut enables high-precision processing of both full cuts and half cuts within a single workflow. Using adhesive paper made with YUPO, a synthetic material produced by YUPO CORPORATION, we produced custom stickers with vibrant color, clean outlines, and a professional-grade finish—all in one smooth process.
Project Overview
• Die board size: 330 × 550 mm
• Sheet size: 320 × 450 mm
• Material used: YUPO-based adhesive paper
• Paper thickness: 110μm
• Cutting plate material: Stainless steel
In this project, we used a single die board to perform two cutting processes:
• The outer contour (indicated in red) was processed using full cuts.
• The inner decorative shapes (indicated in blue) were created using half cuts.
By adjusting the blade heights, both cutting depths were achieved in a single pass. The full-cut blade was set to 23.6 mm, and the half-cut blade to 23.44 mm, accounting for the 0.16 μm thickness of the release liner under the adhesive paper. This setup allowed for accurate cutting without switching dies or reconfiguring the machine.
To maintain quality during extended runs, the die board was treated with a silky coating to reduce adhesive buildup and ensure clean results throughout the process.
Imposition Control for Efficient Layout
Additionally, we utilized AeroDieCut’s Imposition Control function to perform two presses on a single sheet using one die, creating a 2-up layout.
This enhanced production efficiency and helped reduce the cost of die board fabrication.
Improved Workflow with the updated optional accessory, Waste Separator
This demonstration also featured AeroDieCut’s optional Waste Separator, designed to assist with clean and reliable removal of cut waste. It helped streamline post-processing and improve overall handling—especially valuable for adhesive-backed materials.
Supporting Diverse Materials and Applications
While this example used adhesive paper made with YUPO as the base, AeroDieCut is compatible with a wide range of materials depending on design and cutting requirements. Its precision and flexibility open up new possibilities for custom sticker and label production, as well as other applications that demand accurate, high-quality processing.
