Application
New Application of AeroDieCut: Braille-Embossed Medicine Boxes
As accessibility becomes increasingly important across industries, adding Braille to pharmaceutical packaging has become a key requirement.
With AeroDieCut, you can meet this need efficiently—handling both Braille embossing and die-cutting with flexibility and precision.
In this article, we introduce how AeroDieCut is used to produce Braille-embossed medicine boxes.
Paper Specification
For this application, the following paper was used:
- Type: Coated paper
- Size: 320 × 450 mm (SRA3)
- Weight: 310 gsm
Two-Step Workflow: Braille Embossing and Box Cutting
To improve plate reusability and ensure stable embossing, the process was divided into two steps:
■ Step 1: Braille Embossing
Braille was embossed in two separate positions per sheet.
To do this, we used AeroDieCut’s Imposition Control Function, which allows for two precise presses on a single sheet—one for each box.
Embossing Plate Setup & Specifications
• Plate size (both male and female):
- 82 mm (W) × 50 mm (H)
• Male (convex) plate
- Material: Resin-based
- Mounted on the cutting plate
・ Female (concave) plate
- Structure: Etched copper plate (3 mm thick) mounted on aluminium block (19.6 mm thick), for a total thickness of 22.6mm
- Mounted on the die board side using an optional die board adapter
Note: The die board adapter shown in the video is a previous model. The current version may differ in design.
By separating this step, Braille plates can be reused more easily, allowing for efficient setup when processing different jobs.
■ Step 2: Die-Cutting the Box Shape
After embossing, the sheet is die-cut into the shape of two medicine boxes using AeroDieCut.
One-Pass Processing Also Supported
Alternatively, the Braille plates can be embedded directly into the die board, allowing embossing and die-cutting to be performed in a single pass. This one-step method is ideal for streamlined production and can be adapted based on your workflow requirements.
