As in other areas, the most expensive resource in packaging industry is time. Setting up the cutting tools takes a lot of time. For larger production runs, most effective are counter plates in Pertinax, known also as Rillma or counter dies, replacing the typical and widely used counter dies, applicable mainly in small production series.
Counter plates in Pertinax have thickness corresponding to the thickness of material to cut. The plates have grooves with width and depth that depend on the material to cut. Instead of adjusting multiple counter dies, we set up centering pins, which is a lot easier and faster, as a result of which a single object is centered – the counter plate in Pertinax.
