Custom Rotary Die-Cutting Services
At Rathbun, we specialize in custom rotary die-cutting services. We work with a wide range of materials, including foams, films, and tapes, providing precision-cut components to industrial customers nationwide. As an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer and a 3M Preferred Converter, we have decades of experience delivering consistent quality, fast lead times, and helpful service.
Our rotary die-cutting services use high-speed presses to cut materials into custom dimensions with tight tolerances. This method is ideal for large production runs that require superior repeatability and clean, edge-finished products. All die-cut parts are processed in-house at our US facilities and can be delivered in roll form or as individual components, depending on your application.

Your Source for High-Volume Precision Die-Cutting Services
If you're looking for rotary die cutting services, Rathbun has you covered. Contact us today to discover how we can deliver custom rotary die-cut solutions tailored to your unique requirements. With proven material expertise and flexible production options, you can rely on Rathbun for top-quality converting servicesRotary die cutting is a high-speed converting method that uses a die and rotary press to cut complex shapes with tight tolerances. The material is fed through a machine, where the die continuously cuts out the desired pattern with precision and consistency. Unlike steel rule dies, rotary die-cutting blades remain stationary during the cutting process, creating consistent and repeatable impressions with single-machined rotary tooling. This process is used for high-volume production due to its speed and repeatable results. Rotary die cutting can also incorporate kiss cutting, through cutting, scoring, and perforating.
Rotary Die Cutting Advantages and Capabilities
Rotary die cutting is a fast, precise, and repeatable process. Its ability to handle tight tolerances and complex dimensions makes it ideal for manufacturers that require consistent and efficient production. Rotary die cutting is used to produce a wide range of custom components, including pressure-sensitive adhesives, thin gaskets, and thin metal foils, among others. While rotary die cutting may incur higher operational costs than other methods, its high-volume capacity, versatility, and efficiency make up for the additional price.Benefits of Rotary Die Cutting
