Technical guidance
What matters before production starts.
Digital die cutting vs steel-rule dies
Digital cutting is useful for prototypes and shorter runs because it can follow vector paths without a physical die. Larger repeat programs may still need a separate production review.
Separate line types
Cut lines, crease lines, perforation, kiss-cut and print artwork should be separated by layer, colour or note so the job can be interpreted correctly.
Printed registration
If a printed sheet must be cut to artwork, include crop marks, registration expectations, bleed and tolerance notes.
Suitability boundary
LCE can support cutting review, but packaging performance, product safety, shipping performance and final suitability remain with the client.

Common questions
Answers before production starts.
Is digital die cutting the same as Zund cutting?
Zund is a well-known brand of digital cutting equipment. LCE uses equipment-neutral digital knife and flatbed cutting language so the quote stays focused on the material, file and result.
Can you cut and crease packaging samples?
Suitable cartonboard and packaging samples can be reviewed for cut and crease setup from clean vector dielines.
Do I need a steel-rule die?
For prototypes and many short runs, digital cutting can remove the need for a physical die. Repeat production should be reviewed around quantity, material and finish.
What file should I upload?
DXF, DWG or vector PDF is best. Separate cut, crease, perforation and artwork layers wherever possible.
