Die cutters have become so precise and versatile, that they can cut a single tissue paper or fondant for decorating cakes and pastries.The term die cutter is used for a press or machine that cuts material in a specified shape. From huge industrial cutters for furniture, to the small hand-rolled machines used for cutting office supplies or cute paper cut-outs, die cutters are of varied types.

The cuts made by a die cutter are sharp and precise - plus, it hardly requires any skill. All you have to do is place the material in the machine, and press it. Another advantage is that it saves an enormous amount of time - even complex shapes like those required for making a gift box can be cut in a matter of seconds, once the machine is set.

Rotary die cutters have a cylindrical die which is mounted on heavy anvils called a rotary press. A sheet of paper or any other material to be used is fed into the machine. The die moves with the sheet to cut the shape as the sheet moves through the cutter. Rotary dies can be used in any kind of cutter, and the results are much more precise as compared to the clicking cutters.

Flatbed Cutters - in these cutters, the cutting is done of a flatbed. The sheet of the material stays stationary, and the cutting head is brought down on it in an up-down action.

Kiss Cutting - This type of cutting is very precise when it comes to the amount of pressure being used and the depth of the cut. The cutter is capable of cutting through a single layer of material, and is usually used for making labels, stamps, or stickers - the cutter will cut only through the sticker, while leaving the adhesive backing as it is.
