Imagine you are rolling out a sheet of cookie dough. Once you decide on a shape, you take a cookie cutter and press it into the dough. After removing the excess dough around the shape, you\u2019re left with a finished design.<\/span><\/p>\n This is exactly what die strikes do to labels.<\/span> Die strikes are a crucial part of the pressure sensitive label manufacturing process. These cuts must be done precisely with the perfect amount of pressure for labels to peel off the liner in a consistent and accurate release during application.<\/span><\/p>\n When labels release easily, production is able to run promptly and efficiently. When labels release poorly, production becomes disrupted due to equipment jamming or labels failing to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n If this release is difficult, one culprit to consider is die strikes. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
