Die Cuts
The foundation of what we do!
Die-cutting is the process of creating a custom shape using a tool. Parts can be converted from foams, films, adhesives, plastics, metals, rubbers, and numerous other materials.
Die-Cut parts can be produced in a variety of ways. At Jacobsen Industries we have a variety of converting equipment that allows us to make your part in the most cost effective way possible.
We can also work directly with you and your team on a delivery method that best suits your needs. We can manufacture parts as trim cut (individual pieces), kiss cut on a roll or sheets, scatter packed in bags, on strips, and many other ways.
Steel Rule Die-cutting is a common process used to produce parts from a wide range of sheet and roll materials, including paper, cardboard, rubber, and plastic. Steel rule die tooling is cost-effective, fast, and can make thousands of parts before a re-rule is needed. Prototype parts are often tweaked using steel rule dies before moving on to high volume, rotary tooling
Need millions of die-cuts parts? Die-cuts that require large volumes are produced most-efficiently with rotary presses. Jacobsen Industries leads the way in the rotary department, with die-cut widths as wide as 30” possible.
Need large thick die-cuts from wide rolls of heavy material up to 1200 pounds? It’s not a problem with our computer controlled automatically-fed conveyor presses.
As a customer of Jacobsen Industries, we promise to maintain your die in optimum working order and continue to do so, for the life of the program, on our nickel, not yours.
Steel Rule Dies
Jacobsen Industries was established in 1946 as Jacobsen Steel Rule Dies.
Our founder, Frank Jacobson, started building steel rule dies shortly after serving in World War II. Today we continue to offer the same service and quality that Frank insisted on over 60 years ago.
Steel Rule Dies are used in die cutting a range of sheet and roll materials including paper, plastic, cardboard, rubber, foam and numerous others. Steel Rule Dies can be made to cut nearly any shape, as a matter of fact; puzzles are cut with Steel Rule Dies.
Jacobsen Industries make steel rule dies for the “trade” as well as for our own “in-house” needs.
Customers tell us what they want to make, and we make it happen. Have sample material? Send it along with your die order and we will make samples, using your material, to ensure that the die and part are to spec.
Our in-house CAD capabilities, allow us to have the die boards cut directly from your data, ensuring an accurate die-cut. We can accept many forms of data file but prefer DXF, DWG or PDF. The tool room can turn around most tooling within a week, but we can also offer a quicker turnaround if needed.
Prototypes as well
Many of our customers bring in a hand cut sample or the part that they actually want a die-cut for, and we work with them to come up with a solution.
Adhesives and Tapes
Modern adhesives are stronger than ever!
In many situations, adhesives are taking the place of traditional bonding methods. We can even offer adhesives that can be die-cut and are so strong that they can take the place of a weld.
Jacobsen Industries can help you find the bond that your team is looking for, whether it’s to hold an emblem to a car or as an aid in assembly. We have the resources to find the solution, and chances are that we’ve solved your problem before.
As a 3M Select Converter, we are specialists in Acrylic Foam Tape. 3M makes the best Acrylic Foam Tapes in the business, and you can find them all here. We convert them every day for a wide variety of applications from body side molding to seals on LED lights.
Not too long ago, emblems were held on with mechanical fasteners and were a prime location for rust. Today die-cut foam tapes hold them securely to the body of the car, and rust is no longer an issue.
