Dies used in printing generally cut, perforate, and score on an array of substrates in every type of modern printing. H.S. Boyd dies can be configured to provide much more than the basic cut, perforate, and score functions. H. S. Boyd dies can be made to partially cut, slit, through cut, emboss, punch, perforate, slit-over-perforate, score and micro-perf many times on a single die. We provide dies for these services in our many different die manufacturing processes for sheet- fed, web, and flexographic printing.

Flexible H.S. Boyd Dies are used on many types of adhesive labels and can be used to successfully cut a variety of narrow-web products. IML (In-mold labels), booklets, folded boxes, tickets, tear-off coupons, hang tags, flexible packaging, and kiss- cutting are just some of the many functions that can be done using H. S. Boyd dies.

Cutting edge height, angle, and special coatings are individually adjusted to provide the best final product. H.S. Boyd can provide dies for every application in the industry.

PPP (Perf-Print-Plus) Dies

PPP dies are chemically-etched, machined dies for the ultimate quality application allowing outstanding quality with cost efficiency.

When used with the PPP system, it is possible to rival the most delicate traditional die-cutting method. This type of die can be used with both sheet- fed and web-offset presses. These dies convert your press into an in-line die- cutter to reduce your manufacturing costs therefore adding profit to your bottom line. Perforating, through cut, kiss cut, and scoring can be achieved in a single pass.

PPP dies adhere to the foils grid and then are removed after production so that the PPP foil can again be used for general perforating and scoring.

IOC (Inline Offset Cutting) Dies

IOC converts your sheet- fed press into an Inline die-cutter, reduces costs and adds profit to the bottom line. A single die can be used for perforations, scoring, and through-cutting up to 20 point stock.  The dies are characterized by their outstanding service life which can be further extended by laser-hardened 3L quality, coatings, etc. IOC dies are used in a multitude of ways, short run projects, continual forms work, and extremely long run projects making the set- up times shorter.
