Die-cutting is extremely effective when masking a flat surface. Custom die-cuts are quick and easy to apply and remove, and they can even be fitted with pull tabs to expedite the removal process. This solution is ideal for wet paint, powder coating, e-coating and plating operations. Custom die-cuts are also an economical way to eliminate tedious manual masking steps, saving significantly on labor costs.
Our die-cutting process is done in-house and is fully customizable. Die cuts don’t require tooling, allowing for lower costs and faster production. From simple circles and squares to more complex designs cut up to 60"x120", we are the die cut experts to call on. We can create die cuts with 2” rigid, durable materials or soft, flexible variations in standard and custom materials such as 2-ply foam. Magnetic and adhesive backed options are also available.
Caplugs offers four unique die-cutting processes to produce a wide range of solutions for product protection and masking purposes that include:
*Die-Cut Assembly Kits
Inline masking often requires the user to mask several different areas of a component. To streamline this process, we can create multiple different die-cut shapes within one kit sheet.
