Precision Die Cutting Services for Custom & High-Volume Projects

Clean, Consistent Cuts for Gaskets, Films, and Custom Components

Die cutting is a precision manufacturing process used to cut flexible materials into exact shapes with clean, repeatable edges. Elrex Manufacturers provides custom die cutting services for gaskets, foams, films, pressure-sensitive adhesives, insulation materials, and other plastic components.

From our Ottawa facility, we support both custom and production-level requirements with a focus on accuracy, consistency, material efficiency, and fast turnaround times.

Whether you need kiss-cut adhesive components, shaped films, or high-tolerance insulation pieces, our team delivers dependable results tailored to your specifications.

What Our Die Cutting Services Include

Our precision die cutting process is ideal for producing uniform shapes with repeatable quality. We work with a range of materials and part types, offering services such as:

  • Kiss cutting, scoring, and perforation
  • Custom dies for intricate or repeating shapes
  • Flat parts for insulation, sealing, masking, and branding
  • Die-cut foam, film, gasket, and adhesive components
  • High-volume output with tight tolerances
  • Material selection and layout optimization

Our die cutting equipment and process control ensure parts are clean, consistent, and ready for downstream use or assembly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Die Cutting Services

Die cutting is a manufacturing process that uses shaped steel blades or cutting dies to produce consistent, exact shapes from flexible materials such as foam, film, gaskets, and pressure-sensitive adhesives. The die is pressed against the material using die cutting equipment to produce clean-edged parts in high volumes. This makes it especially well-suited for gasket, adhesive, foam and insulation components where dimensional accuracy and edge quality are critical. Most projects can be run at high volume with tight tolerances, making die cutting services one of the most cost-effective methods for producing repeatable custom shapes in manufacturing environments.

Die cutting can be performed on a wide range of non-metallic flexible materials, including foam, pressure-sensitive adhesives, PTFE and rubber gaskets, polyester and polyethylene films, thermal insulation sheets, and engineered plastics. At Elrex, our Ottawa facility handles material selection as part of the quoting process. If you are unsure which material suits your part, our team can guide you through options before tooling is finalized.

Kiss cutting is a die cutting technique where the blade cuts through the top layer of a material, typically an adhesive layer, without cutting through the backing sheet. This leaves individual adhesive shapes in place, making them easy to peel and apply during assembly. Through cutting cuts all the way through the full material stack, producing standalone parts. Elrex offers both methods, and our team will recommend the right die cutting process based on your downstream use and assembly requirements.

Request a quote to discuss your application.

Yes. Elrex can develop custom die cutting tooling for projects that require non-standard shapes, intricate cutouts, or repeating patterns. Tooling is handled in-house, with layouts planned to reduce material waste and support consistent production. Once the tooling is complete, it can be retained for repeat orders, helping reduce per-part costs over time. If your part has irregular geometry, our team can review your drawings and recommend an efficient production approach.

Turnaround times depend on order volume, material availability, and whether custom tooling is required. Because production is handled at our Ottawa facility, Elrex can manage scheduling internally and provide estimated timelines once your project details are reviewed.
