Daco DTD250 Bench Top Rotary Die Cutter

The Daco DTD 250 bench top rotary die cutter is a cost effective solution to blank / plain label converting with a production speed of 150m/minute.  The rotary die cutter is available with either one or two rotary die stations, rotary slitting and independent tension control for the unwind and rewind.  Many DTD250 rotary die cutters have been installed at clients who use them to produce plain labels for the growing thermal transfer market.

The rotary die cutter can also be used as a slitter rewinder for the finishing of pre-printed labels by removing the rotary die.
