In this edition of the Spotlight, Tino Thür, digital marketing manager at BERHALTER Swiss Die-Cutting, explains how the company’s Swiss Die-Cutter™ enables converters to reduce waste and eliminate downtime.
Turning die-cutting into a profit centre
In an industry where margins are constantly under pressure, converting is no longer just a technical step. It is a strategic advantage. Whether you’re producing lids for dairy and pet food or labels for beverages and pharma, every metre of material matters. Every second of uptime counts.
That’s where the Swiss Die-Cutter™ from BERHALTER stands out. It enables converters to cut smarter by reducing waste, eliminating downtime, and delivering faster changeovers — all while maintaining unmatched Swiss precision.
More output, less waste
Material costs continue to rise. Brands are demanding tighter tolerances. Sustainability targets are getting stricter. The Swiss Die-Cutter™ helps converters stay ahead by boosting yield and minimizing scrap.
Its precision nesting capabilities and exact registration control ensure that every roll — whether it’s aluminium, PET, PP, or paper laminate — delivers the maximum number of usable parts. The result is up to 15% higher label or lid yield and significantly less material loss across a production run.
This isn’t just better for your bottom line. It also supports your sustainability goals.
Designed for uptime
Every minute a die-cutting line is idle is money lost. The Swiss Die-Cutter™ is engineered for continuous performance. Fast tool changes, servo-driven precision, and a modular mechanical layout help keep production flowing.
From short runs to high-volume jobs, converters benefit from a system that adapts to real-world production demands.
Built for data-driven production
At the core of the platform is CUTcontrol™, BERHALTER’s Industrial IoT-enabled control system. This smart interface gives operators and managers real-time insights into productivity, job performance, and system diagnostics. It helps reduce unplanned downtime and ensures repeatable quality.
With predictive maintenance, remote support, and job recall, converters gain more control over time, energy, and operational efficiency. That’s essential in modern, high-mix production environments.
Ready for automation
The Swiss Die-Cutter™ can be seamlessly integrated with BEAMstack™, BERHALTER’s robotic stacking solution. This closes the loop on die-cutting and post-processing by eliminating manual steps, reducing labour needs, and accelerating end-of-line output.
It’s automation that delivers real return on investment, especially in tight labour markets or fast-growing operations.
