Cutting and die-cutting in the production process of tearing open lottery cards
In the production process of open lottery cards, cutting and die-cutting are two important steps. They are used to cut raw materials (such as cardboard, plastic, etc.) into the desired shapes and sizes to create lottery cards.
1. Cutting: Cutting is the process of cutting the original material into the desired shape and size. This can be done by manual cutting or using automated equipment. For simple shapes, such as rectangles or squares, they can be manually completed using cutting tools such as knives or scissors. For complex shapes or situations that require mass production, automated equipment such as cutting machines or laser cutting machines are usually used. These devices can accurately cut the desired shape based on pre designed drawings or templates.
2. Die cutting: Die cutting is a method of cutting raw materials into specific shapes according to a mold. In the die-cutting process, special molds are used, usually made of metal, with the desired shape and size. The blade on the mold will cut or press out the material under a certain pressure to form the desired shape. This method is suitable for situations that require mass production, as molds can be reused, improving production efficiency and consistency. Die cutting is commonly used to create lottery cards with complex shapes such as circles, ellipses, and anomalies.
Whether it is cutting or die-cutting, it is necessary to operate accurately according to design requirements and specifications. In the production process, computer-aided design (CAD) software is usually used to create cutting or die-cutting drawings and transmit them to the corresponding cutting equipment or die-cutting machine. This can ensure that each lottery card has a consistent shape and size, improving production efficiency and product quality.
