Laser vs. Rotary - Label Cutting Methods
When it comes to printing custom labels, there are a few different methods that can be used to create the desired results. Let’s compare laser cutting and rotary die cutting – two of the most popular methods. Each has its own set of benefits and in this blog we will be breaking it down for you to better understand the differences.
Let’s begin by discussing precision. Laser cutting is generally more precise than rotary die-cutting which makes it the best option for all projects and especially those that require intricate cuts. Rotary die-cutting, on the other hand, is less precise but is faster. It’s a good choice for projects that require relatively simple cuts.
Another incredible benefit for laser cutting is the ability to provide us with a faster turn around time compared to rotary die cutting. This is possible because die boards do not need to be ordered beforehand. The label’s measurements and shape are inputted into the laser’s software system. The laser is then programmed to cut the labels in queue. This makes it an ideal choice for rush orders or last-minute projects. With laser die-cutting, you can get your project done quickly and easily, without risking quality or precision.
Another advantage of laser die-cutting is that the equipment does not dull the way equipment in rotary die-cutters do. This is because laser cutting uses a concentrated beam of light to cut through material rather than a blade. As a result, there is no physical contact between the laser and the material being cut. This prevents wear and tear on the equipment and leaves behind a more high-quality look on the finished product.
In addition, laser die-cutting requires less handwork than traditional methods reducing the potential for human error. As a result, we have been able to increase our productivity and further improve quality control. Pacer Labels took it a step further by investing in skilled operators who are able to safely and effectively operate our laser cutter.
Overall, when it comes down to it, laser die cutting has far more advantages in comparison to rotary die-cutting and this is why Pacer Labels utilizes laser cutting.
