Definitions for "Diecut"
a cutting die (in any shape) is used to cut the exterior boundary of the label. The die may include holes, punch outs, perforations and slits as well as the exterior boundary. A die cut label may be waste-stripped ( the excess material is taken away so only the label sits on the liner) which makes the removal of the label easier.
A finishing operation involving the use of sharp steel rules or knives to cut a specific pattern into a substrate or to cut the substrate itself into a specific pattern. Diecutting is used to create pop-up books and games, and to cut flat printed sheets.
