Rotary Special Rules  

 

 

 

Perforating: 
There is a perforating rule for every requirement folding, holding blanks together or for tearing available in any tooth and crease combination.
The standard gullet depth of rotary perforating rule is 4.76mm (3/16"), but, a 3.18mm (1/8") deep gullet can be specified. We do not recommend gullets in excess of 4.76mm (3/16").

Cut crease: 
A combined precise cut section and a defined gullet height gives a combination rule that is designed to enhance folding for corrugated or folding carton applications, Available in any tooth and crease combination.

Wave:
Produced from center bevel 20 tooth rule, it is designed to provide a more aesthetic appearance on displays.
It can also be used to leave a safety edge on blanks that will be hand assembled.

Zipper:
Designed to maintain packaging integrity throughout the distribution route. Yet provide a package that can be easily opened without having to use a knife or other tools. Available in a variety of forms.
It is supplied in 762mm (30"), 914.4mm (36") and 1 meter (39") lengths and is also available notched curved in all standard diameters.

 

 

 

EZ score: 
This rule eliminates the corrugated problem of double roll over score with the corrugation or with trays or displays It has been designed to cut the inner and medium without piercing the outer liner. Where the outer lines may become cut.

Prenicked:
Prenicked rules ensure that the blanks stay together throughout the diecutting and stripping processes, yet separate easily in the blanking section.
We recommend the use of 25.40mm to 38.10mm (1" to 1 1/2") sections of 1.58mm x 1.58mm (1/16" x 1/16") perforating rule with a height of 0.76mm (0.30") less than the cutting rule.

 

 

 

Miter tight:
One of the most critical areas of a rotary die is the lead edge knife.
A common cause of lead edge failure is scrap build up between the rule and the trim breaker knives.
Miter Tight blades are designed to prevent scrap build-up by precisely matching the contour of the bevel rules currently used in lead edges.
They are pre-cut in standard 38mm (1 1/2") lengths to save time in ruling and simplify programming.
