Reverse Cut Score
Reverse Cut Scores are another member of the Atlas Die family of tools for the folding carton industry. A Reverse Cut Score is a hard, chemically etched, steel plate with a cutting edge used to cut the inside surface of a carton or blank. Reverse Cut Scores may be inserts to a Rillma or Steel Counterplate or may be used alone on the cut-plate with conventional make-ready. The Reverse Cut Score cuts against a flat anvil placed in the die.
DESCRIPTION:
Reverse Cut Scores are available in various thicknesses, as determined by the type of mounting plate, the percentage of cut-through needed in the stock material and the height of the opposing anvil. Chemically milled from spring steel, the Reverse Cut Score uses artwork generated by the same program used to create the die, thereby assuring accurate registration with the die. Reverse Cut Scores are often used when cutting is desired on a carton or blank to produce an offset partial cut, "tear open feature" on both sides of the printed piece simultaneously. Reverse Cut Scores are the ideal choice for cartons that must remain completely sealed prior to customer use.
FEATURES:
- Reverse Cut Scores can be pre-registered to the die by transfer pins or, when used with Rillma or Steel Counterplates, set in a positioning cavity in the counter for quick, easy and exact die alignment.
- Reverse Cut Scores can accomplish one pass, two sided cutting, inside cut to outside print register, and be made in one piece, in any shape necessary, thereby avoiding mitered joints which can result in nicked cutting where angles or turns occur.
- Reverse Cut Scores, used when a panel of flap must fold against a carton, can also be made in a one piece, in any design necessary, avoiding mitered joints and the possibility of nicked cutting where there are angles or turns.
