Answer Upon - Types of Dies
Running a home business has always interested people especially mothers and the home bound. However starting the business is not a game. It does not involve simply setting up your computer and beginning. People are often deterred from venturing further, when they become aware of some of the c
The days of medical billing where you walked into a doctor's office and the receptionist was busy printing out the few bills she had are long gone. Today, most of the medical billing that is done is done by very large companies. While this may seem more efficient and certainly more profitab
There are engraving dies. These are made of steel and copper. The process wipes ink across the die and then the paper is hit with that die injecting the ink into the paper. These dies last a long time and can be used multiple times. This is usually for fine type with serifs.
There are embossing dies. These are usually made of brass or copper but sometimes magnesium on the low end. The brass or copper are good for multiple uses and can have multi levels to give great detail. The edges can be beveled to achieve the maximum depth allowed by the paper. These are the dies that artistic or 2 dimensional effects are created on. The magnesium die is primarily made for short runs and will not stand up to wear and tear real well. You can only achieve one level in magnesium. All embossing dies require a counter die that fits into the die as a mirror image. These two dies actually squeeze the paper fibers between them and give the raised image. An interesting note is while embossing many times you apply heat to iron the paper texture. The brass and copper while expanding will not create a problem but the magnesium die due to the magnesium will actually expand a great deal and can cause fit problems if you have tight register to another part of the printed piece.
There are foil stamping dies. These are made of the same materials as the embossing die. A flat foil stamping die will not have a counter die. That is where the foil is flat on the sheet or no raised image. The combination die (embossing & foil stamping) has a counter and is made of brass usually. The foil is transferred via heat and pressure on both processes but with a combination stamp it is also ra
Some people enjoy writing. Some, like me, are even driven to write. Others hate it. They hate words. They hate writing them down, and they hate typing them. Some people even hate reading them. Regardless, the written word is a necessary part of our daily lives, particularly in a world that ha

Textile manufacturing is perhaps one of the oldest known industries in India. It was in existence since the beginning of civilization, although a crude methodology has been used then. The total contribution towards textiles manufacturing in our country is approximately 20% of country’s indust

Trends create business opportunities for those who can spot them. An example of how a trend creates opportunities is the pizza industry. Back in the early 1960s, pizza was primarily a snack food eaten in a restaurant. But by the 70s, consumers were picking up pizza to eat at home and pizza de

Laser engraving is a technique in which laser technology is used to engrave, mark or etch any object. People get things engraved for many different reasons and purposes. This method is much more popular than other engraving procedures because the result is very clean and precise. The method o
A steel rule die is not like any of the above mentioned dies. It is used to diecut or cut the paper in whatever shape the die is made in. Within the steel rule die, you have a cutting rule where the metal is sharp enough to cut through the paper when pressure is applied and you have scoring rules which have rounded edges and are made to crease the paper so it folds accurately and crisply.
All of these types of dies are done in house at The Odee Company.
