Custom Steel Rule Dies
(Click on thumbnail to enlarge)
Sipe Steel Rule Die, Inc. is a premier source for custom fabricated steel rule dies. CAD technology combined with automated rule bending equipment, enables us to rapidly create dies from small and simple, to large and complex within very precise ±.005" tolerances. Our quality standards ensure each of our dies is accurate, strong, and sharp for a long operational life.
We are able to create dies measuring up to 8' (L) x 4' (W) x 2" (H), and offer both birch and solid core hard maple base options. We use steel rule with a ground edge that has been heat treated and hardened to industry standards, and offer them in 2-4 point thicknesses with a variety of edge geometries for cutting, perforating, scoring, and creasing. Strategically placed ejection rubber enables easy removal of cut material. We offer clicker dies for cutting thicker materials, as well as chemically-etched dies for applications with intricate details. Our technicians confirm dimensions and use Mylar overlays to verify that each die is 100% to specifications.
From design and engineering to construction and inspection, you are guaranteed top quality workmanship and rapid 24-48 hour turnarounds, with same day service available for time-critical applications. We have an industry-wide reputation for excellence, and are committed to helping you meet your production goals.
