Flatbed die-cutting and creasing machines

Asahi automatic flatbed die-cutting machines for corrugated board

Die-cutting creates the shape and foldability of a packaging box or display. Several factors play a role when deciding on the right type of die-cutter: substrate, speed, efficiency, and especially quality. Through sophisticated design and patented functionality, Asahi flatbed die-cutters excel in performance, ease of use, and accuracy.

Flatbed die-cutting in packaging

During the production of corrugated cardboard packaging and displays, flatbed die-cutting is essential. The die-cutter largely defines the appearance of a corrugated box or display.

Although laser and rotary die-cutting is also used in the packaging industry, flatbed die-cutting is the most economical way to cut and crease thicker substrates such as corrugated board.

The advantages of flatbed die-cutting for corrugated packaging include:

  • Ideal for larger and thicker materials
  • Sharp cuts
  • Minimal material distortion
  • Decreased tool costs
  • Reduced lead times

Flatbed die-cutting procedures

Asahi automatic flatbed die-cutters handle the following procedures in the production of corrugated cardboard packaging:

  • Through cutting
  • Creasing
  • Kiss-cutting
  • Perforating
  • Stripping

Asahi’s patented functionality for unprecedented die-cutting accuracy

Asahi is trendsetting in die-cutting technology. Their first push-type flatbed die-cutter won a Tappi award for accuracy, sharpness, and productivity. Since then, Asahi has developed new techniques that further increase quality and efficiency.


die cutting machine with lap feeder for exact registration
Patented LAP-feeder enables stable feeding of each sheet. Smooth, continuous flow of the infeed belts prevents damage to the printed surfaces. To allow accurate registration, each sheet is positioned separately in the squaring section.
prepare-next-die-cutting-order-during-production
Easy to use Quick-set panel (in all languages) enables preparation for the next die-cutting job during a running order. This prevents the loss of valuable time due to set-up.

For example, Asahi designed the patented LAP-feeder technology. Unlike die-cutters with conventional infeed, the LAP-feeder positions the bottom sheet first. This prevents any misalignment due to the weight of sheets on top of it, resulting in very accurate registration. Especially with pre-printed board, this is an important advantage.

Full digital control allows individual positioning

Asahi flatbed die-cutters monitor and register every movement and positioning of the material. The entire process can be followed digitally, whereby the input of individual sheets and parts of the material can also be controlled.

Quick-set: setting up for your next die-cutting order during production

In addition to the high precision die-cutting results, efficiency plays an essential role in responsible packaging production. But even within an already automated die-cutting system, Asahi offers additional options to avoid losing valuable time. For example, the ‘Quick-set’ option enables to set up the machine for the next order during a running order. This makes production loss due to setting-up a thing of the past.

Pre-loading and Cutting-chase options serve the same purpose: utilizing all production time, allowing the machine to continue processing the new order without pausing.
