Differentiate between sharp corners and rounded corners according to the mold

To create shapes, to reduce corner angles for the corners of the product, there are usually two techniques: die-cutting and corner rounding according to the mold.

These two methods are commonly used in products such as business card, invitation card, brochure, folder, an envelope…

However, while both methods have the same purpose, their implementation is quite different and has its own advantages.

Regarding the purpose: corner rounding according to the mold and die-cutting with the common purpose of cutting off the corners of the product so that the corner angles are reduced and all corners are rounded, creating a more aesthetic appearance.
 

Die-cutting, Corner rounding according to the mold

- Die-cutting using machines with standard corners preset according to sizes defined from small to large. The corners of the product are placed in a position on the machine, after selecting the desired corner size, the operator will cut the corners that have been placed into the previous size.
 

corner rounding according to the mold also using machines, but compared to the die-cutting method, it has more complex components, in this method, the operator does not use the preset corner sizes of the machine but will create the mold according to the original design and cut all products according to that mold.

Material:

• Die-cutting: Die-cutting has a cost-saving price, quick implementation time due to the preset corner standards, just need to proceed to cut immediately.

• corner rounding according to the mold: The product corners are rounded as designed, neatly rounded, smooth, evenly beautiful. It can also apply the corner rounding technique according to the mold to create many corner designs because the mold will be made according to the specific design requirements.

Advantages:

• Die-cutting: Since the product corners are fed into the machine, selecting the size according to the preset corner standards should not be varied in design, the cut corners should not be rounded and smoothed.

• corner rounding according to the mold: Due to the corner rounding according to the mold, when using, it must be placed to make the mold according to the design, therefore the cost will be higher and the implementation time will be longer than the die-cutting method.
