Carton Board Cutting with the DYSS X5 Digital Cutter

If you're seeking precision, speed and a high-quality finish in carton board cutting, the DYSS X5 digital cutter offers an excellent solution. With its advanced features, including the tangential knife tool (TKT), a carton board creasing wheel, and the kiss cut tool (KKT), the DYSS X5 ensures optimal results for prototypes, samples and the finished product.

Precision and Versatility with TKT and Creasing Wheel

The Tangential Knife Tool (TKT) is a key component of the DYSS X5, providing exceptional accuracy when cutting through carton board. The TKT allows for clean, precise cuts, making it ideal for creating crisp edges and intricate shapes. Complementing this tool is the carton board creasing tool, which adds versatility to the cutter by enabling precise, crisp creasing. This combination of tools allows fast production of perfectly folded packaging prototypes or final products with structural integrity and a professional finish.

Intricate Detailing with the Kiss Cut Tool (KKT)

When fine detail work is required, the kiss cut tool (KKT) delivers flawless results; it excels at producing intricate designs.

Short Run Production Made Easy

One of the standout advantages of the DYSS X5 is its suitability for short-run production. As market demands shift toward more customised and on-demand solutions, the X5's efficiency in managing small to medium batches shines. The ability to switch quickly between cutting, creasing, and kiss-cutting functions and the optional conveyor mat and sheet feeders make the X5 perfect for businesses looking for a competitive edge in flexible, short-run manufacturing. In addition, the cost and time savings of not having to have expensive tools made and the DYSS X5 range of machines are real winners.

Whether you're prototyping a new package design or fulfilling a limited-edition order, the DYSS X5 digital cutter's versatility ensures that your carton board projects are completed with exceptional quality and precision. This helps your business meet diverse client needs while maximising productivity.
