The process of stamping out shapes of material with steel rule dies adjusted to varying degrees of hydraulic pressure.

Some of the benefits this converting process offers are:

• Lower tooling costs: When volumes are lower, die-cut sizes are large or many shapes are required, the less expensive flatbed dies provide value over rotary tooling.
  
  
• No curvature on thick materials: The direct vertical cut of the flatbed process provides a tighter tolerance on materials over 1/8" in thickness. Rotary tooling can create a very slight hourglass shape in the material.
  
  
• Design Flexibility: Some combinations of material and design specifications lend themselves to flatbed die-cutting over rotary, waterjet or laser cutting.
