Best Die-Cutting Machines for Card Making​

Card making (business cards, greeting cards, wedding invitations, membership cards) requires precise cutting, clean edges, and consistent dimensions—making die-cutting machines the ideal tool. The best die-cutting machines for card making, like Amydor’s card-specific series, offer the following key features:​

High precision for consistent sizing: Card making demands strict dimensional accuracy (±0.1mm) to ensure cards fit in envelopes or cardholders. Amydor’s card-making die-cutters use dual linear guides and servo drive systems, delivering precise cuts for standard sizes (85x55mm business cards, 148x105mm greeting cards) and custom shapes (hearts, circles, die-cut windows).​

Clean, burr-free edges: Cards are often made from thick materials (200-400g cardstock, PVC, or leather), which can be difficult to cut cleanly with manual tools. Amydor’s machines adjust cutting pressure (0.3-1.0MPa) based on material thickness, ensuring smooth edges without fraying or cracking—critical for professional-looking cards.​

Multi-process integration (cutting + creasing): Folded cards (e.g., greeting cards, invitations) require precise creasing to ensure clean folds. Amydor’s die-cutting machines combine cutting and creasing functions, eliminating the need for separate equipment. The creasing depth is adjustable, adapting to different cardstock thicknesses (200-400g) without damaging the paper.​

Custom shape and design flexibility: Card making often involves custom shapes and intricate designs (e.g., lace edges, hollow patterns). Amydor’s machines support laser and metal dies, allowing print shops and card makers to create unique designs. Quick die replacement (within 10 minutes) enables fast switching between different card styles, ideal for small-batch, personalized orders.​

User-friendly operation and templates: Amydor’s card-making die-cutters feature a touchscreen with pre-set templates for common card sizes and shapes. Operators can save custom parameters (e.g., pressure for 300g cardstock) for future use, reducing setup time.
