Cutting and routing equipment turns printed sheets and rolls into finished signs, displays and packaging. The main types are:
Vinyl cutters cut lettering, decals and contour-cut stickers from roll media.
Digital cutting tables, sometimes called digital die-cutters, cut, crease and route board, foam, corrugated and fabric, often reading print marks to cut printed work accurately.
CNC routers machine thicker, harder materials such as aluminium composite, acrylic, wood and foam PVC.
Laser cutters cut and engrave acrylic, wood and similar materials with a clean, polished edge.
Before choosing a machine, be clear about the materials and thicknesses you cut most, the bed size you need and whether you need camera registration for printed work. Software, tooling, extraction and floor space all matter, as do training, running costs and the quality and speed of service and support.
