Thin Plate Dies

Mathias Thin Plate Dies are flexible, chemically etched, and CNC machined tools typically utilized for more complex, tight tolerance applications. We developed tooling that was originally manufactured for rotary cutting and perfected it for use in flatbed die cutting applications to help you maximize your die cutting efficiencies and finished part quality.

Much like our Laser Steel Rule Dies, we engineer our Thin Plate Dies for every application. The etching and machining process allow us to create precision tools with different blade heights and bevel geometries to cut more complex part designs than can be accomplished using Steel Rule Dies. Finished thickness of the die can be matched to your press and requirements.

Thin plate dies have become an increasingly popular choice for manufacturers who need exceptional accuracy and repeatability without the higher cost or longer lead times found in traditional steel-rule tooling. Built from premium, laser-cut steel plates, these dies offer a streamlined, ultra-precise solution ideal for short- to medium-run production, rapid prototyping, and applications where tight tolerances matter most. At Mathias Die Company, our thin plate dies are engineered to deliver clean cuts, minimal waste, and long-lasting reliability, making them an excellent fit for a wide range of commercial and industrial projects.

Because thin plate dies are designed with a flat, durable construction, they allow for fast setup, lower press requirements, and simplified handling on the production floor. This makes them a smart option for customers looking to reduce downtime and improve throughput without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re creating intricate shapes, logos, seals, labels, or custom components, our precision-cut plates ensure every die performs consistently across hundreds or thousands of cycles.

Mathias Die Company supports clients across the United States with custom thin plate die solutions that fit seamlessly into existing production workflows. Our team partners with businesses in packaging, printing, automotive, medical, electronics, and specialty manufacturing to deliver dies that align with their exact specifications. From initial CAD support to final quality checks, we focus on accuracy, durability, and fast turnaround so you get dependable tooling when you need it.
