Different Types of Die-Cut Signs to Choose From

Gone are the days where boring rectangular or square signs are used on commercial or industrial properties. People have become more innovative and creative in their branding styles, and one of the best ways to add pizazz to your marketing budget is to use something called a die-cut sign. Branding your shop is one of the most important things you can do for your return on investment. Here you will find some more information about that.

It may sound unfamiliar but you would have seen these in your surrounding facilities like schools, colleges, businesses and more, and never knew what they are called. So, the question everyone is asking is, what are they? Keep reading to find out more.

What Die-Cut Signs Are

These one-of-a-kind products are extremely popular in many niches and are signs, but unlike the conventional ones you would see around your streets and buildings, these are cut in unique forms more creatively. They use a specific technique that can cut a sign into any shape for example a t-shirt, or a circle, or something based on a specific design.

The technique that is used to do this is known as a contour or a digital cutter. This simply means it is cut according to specifications and not your average square or triangle shape. The method involves printing the final and approved design first, then imprinting it onto the material, such as metal and then it is cut according to the exact shape.

The amazing benefit of this type of signage is that you can create almost any shape you want to no matter how intricate. There are different types of cutters and the industrial ones are usually larger than the domestic ones used in many arts and crafts DIY projects.

Different Types of Die-Cutters

Rotary Die-cutters: based on a cylindrical rotary press, and can be fed with any type of material such as metal or paper, into the machine and the machine moves with the sheet to cut its shape. To see an illustration of this, this website has more: https://homequicks.com/how-does-die-cutter-work

Water Jet or Cold Cutting: these use high-pressurized water and a nozzle to cut different shapes. They are similar to the laser types and use a program used in the CAD method (computer Aided Design). Because the water flows through it at two and a half times higher than the speed of sound, it can be used to cut various materials.

Laser Die-Cutting: if the design is a more intricate one, then this method is used, as it is beneficial for precision cutting.  These are also guided by using CAD programs such as AutoCAD, which is typically used by architects to design houses and properties. It is easy to feed the design into the computer and it spits out the cuts onto the material in the most precise manner, making the need for any annual labor to be emitted from the process as well as is time-efficient.

These are just three common ones but there are other types available on the market too.

Different Types of Die-Cut signs Used in Various Industries

Now that you know what they are and how they are created, let us see what you can create with this technique, shall we?

Championship Signs: these are one of the most popular items on the list. Not only because there are so many sports teams in the world, but also because each one has its own unique shape and format. What better way to produce these than with this method?

Jersey designs: you can create a design that looks like the sports team jersey. Very popular among top athletes and individuals who want to store their winnings in a frame on the wall to celebrate their victories.

Banners and flags: you can create various different flags and banners for just about anything.

Company signs: of course, this had to be on our list. If you own or work in a creative industry then having a custom-made sign will enhance your brand more than your competitors. Plus, it is appealing to the eye.

Schools and colleges: educational institutions use these too when showcasing their name and teams, to stand out from the crowd.

University and sports fields: adorn your university with these signs and create some well-needed signage that helps your students to understand things like directions, building names, sports field signs and even get your university basketball or football team mascot created. If not, why not. Everyone is doing it!

This is a very versatile form of creating simple, yet elegant designs, and the most common materials you can make these die-cut signs and various selections from include metal, plastics, magnets, vinyl and acrylics. However, it needs to be done on a flat surface otherwise it may not work properly.

Why not enhance the look of your establishment with these creative ideas and be ahead of the game of your competitors? The added benefit is, your customers will get a good impression, knowing that you go all out when it comes to branding your company, so you would most likely do the same for theirs.
