Talk:Die cutting (web)

Cleanup
This page could use some cleanup- and since I actually know a little about this subject, I might as well be the one to clean it. I'll get back to this when I have a little more time (But if anyone else wants to tackle it, be my guest). Paladinwannabe2 22:06, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

It now has better spelling, syntax, and grammar. Some of the information is now in rotary diecutting. I'll continue working on these articles, but anyone else who wants to add information, links, and references would be welcome to assist. Paladinwannabe2 20:22, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Proposed merge from rotary diecutting
This article already talks about rotary diecutting, so I see no reason to split the topics up. Plus there isn't a separate article about flat bed diecutting. --Wizard191 (talk) 17:43, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

this should be in the same category as rotary die cutting or dies in general —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.232.191.16 (talk) 20:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Arts and craft versus industrial applications
Hello - die cutting is an arts and crafts topic as well as relating to industrial metalworking.
 * I created a red link on the Die cutting disambiguation page, to an arts and crafts page, but I feel I haven't access to appropriate citations/expertise to create the article.
 * There are plenty of hobby die-cutting machines available and obvious on Google but so far I can't find any useful encyclopaedia-friendly references.
 * I guess then, I a here asking for help on that front. Kathybramley (talk) 09:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Article
Some ideas to improve this article:
 * I think this article could use some context and reference to differentiate the industrial processes from the hobbyist and arts and also book (especially children's book) production uses of die-cutting. See Book design.
 * Useful questions for die cutting (web) might be to define in the lead section not just what webs are but who uses the terminology in what sectors, and why is it a special terminology.
 * I would consider merging the article with other industrial-context uses of die cutting or creating a general topic article with specific types in sections or articles of their own.
 * Arts and crafts dies for hobbyist machines are presumably made using industrial die cutting machinery, so that could be useful to answer the question of differentiating the two contexts with an illustration, particularly suitable for the introduction.

I don't get why this as an article about webs is in the metal-working project, either. I hope you experts in this topic can explain! Kathybramley (talk) 09:36, 13 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I can answer why this is a metalworking article: because it is a metalworking process when sheet metal is the web. Wizard191 (talk) 13:24, 13 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Articles can be tagged by multiple projects to which they are relevant. I have added a Visual arts tag, and hope that someone sometime may contribute something about die cutting in book design and in the home arts and crafts context.  Jheald (talk) 18:49, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
