What is die-cutting?

Die-cutting is a precision process used to cut materials into specific shapes or patterns.

In medical and diagnostic applications, it ensures accurate alignment, repeatable dimensions, and efficient assembly, making it a critical step in the production of lateral flow devices, wearables, and laboratory components.

Applications

Our precision die-cutting capabilities are used for:

  • Membranes and adhesive films in lateral flow and IVD tests
    Skin-contact adhesives and patches for wearable devices
    Protective or sealing layers in lab films and microfluidic devices
    Gaskets, tabs, and custom shapes for diagnostic housings or fixtures

Key advantages of Kenosha die-cutting

  • High precision cutting with repeatable accuracy across batches
  • Tight tolerances for automated assembly or manual placement
  • Clean edges without distortion, fraying, or adhesive bleed
  • Flexible formats including roll-to-roll and sheet-based production
  • Fast turnaround for prototyping, validation, or production orders

Quality & traceability

All die-cut parts are produced under controlled manufacturing conditions and inspected for dimensional accuracy and visual quality.Each batch is fully traceable, ensuring reproducibility and process transparency for regulated manufacturing environments.

Die-cutting as a standalone service

Kenosha also offers contract die-cutting for customer-supplied materials, including films, foams, and adhesive laminates. Our precision cutting systems and quality controls guarantee consistent results even with complex geometries or sensitive materials.
