Large-Format Die Cutting for Paperboard and Corrugated Packaging
The D1300S is a fully automatic flatbed die cutting machine developed for packaging manufacturers that process large paperboard and corrugated sheets. It brings sheet feeding, registration, die cutting and creasing, and high-pile delivery together in a continuous production workflow, reducing the manual handling normally required between these operations.
With a maximum sheet size of 1,300 × 950 mm and a maximum cutting area of 1,290 × 920 mm, the machine provides the working area needed for large packaging layouts and multi-up production. Its adjustable feeder, sheet-positioning system, rigid die-cutting structure, and controlled delivery section are designed to maintain stable sheet movement from the feeding pile to the finished stack.
Suitable Materials
The documented working range includes:
- Paperboard from 100 g/m²
- Corrugated board up to 8 mm thick
- Greyboard and similar rigid sheet materials, subject to sample evaluation
Actual performance depends on the material grade, flute profile, sheet flatness, surface finish, die layout, and production speed. For unfamiliar or difficult substrates, DAIS recommends reviewing the material specification and testing representative samples before the final machine configuration is confirmed.
Typical Packaging Applications
The D1300S can be evaluated for applications such as:
- Folding cartons and paperboard packaging
- Corrugated shipping and retail packaging
- Litho-laminated corrugated sheets
- Display and point-of-sale packaging
- Large-format box blanks
- Protective packaging inserts and partitions
- Other die-cut and creased paper-based packaging components
Who the D1300S Is Designed For
This model is intended for converters that need a larger working format, automatic sheet handling, and consistent die-cutting pressure for mixed paperboard and corrugated production. The final recommendation should be based on the customer’s sheet range, board condition, die layout, required output, available factory space, and downstream waste-removal process.
From Automatic Feeding to Controlled High-Pile Delivery
The D1300S is organized around five connected systems: high-pile feeding, sheet conveying and registration, flatbed die cutting, electrical control and safety monitoring, and high-pile delivery. Each system performs a distinct role in keeping large sheets moving accurately and consistently through the machine.
Automatic High-Pile Feeding System
The feeder is designed to work with paperboard, corrugated board, and greyboard in different sheet conditions. Servo-controlled adjustment allows the operator to adapt the suction position, angle, and height to suit the material and compensate for sheet deformation. This is particularly useful when handling large sheets that may not remain perfectly flat throughout the pile.
Main and auxiliary feeding arrangements support continuous production, while the feeding table can be fine-tuned during operation. Sheet-following protection and feeder collision detection help reduce the risk of operating errors. A shingled sheet-feeding pattern supports stable transfer from the pile into the conveying section.
Key feeder functions include
- Servo-controlled feeder adjustment
- Adjustable suction angle and height
- Main and auxiliary feeding changeover
- Feeder collision detection
- Sheet-following and anti-misoperation protection
- Fine adjustment of the feeding table during operation
- High feeding pile of up to 1,550 mm
- Optional pre-loading arrangement according to the final configuration
Stable Sheet Conveying and Precise Registration
After a sheet leaves the feeder, the conveying section controls its speed and guides it toward the registration position. Photoelectric double-sheet detection monitors the incoming material, while adjustable brush wheels and wear-resistant polyurethane transport wheels help maintain stable sheet contact.
Front and side registration systems position each sheet before it enters the die-cutting unit. Left- and right-side push-pull gauges provide flexibility for different printing registration requirements, helping the machine work with printed sheets where the cutting and creasing layout must follow existing graphics.
Key conveying and registration features include
- Controlled sheet-feeding speed
- Photoelectric double-sheet detection
- Industrial sheet-conveying belts
- Wear-resistant polyurethane transport wheels
- Adjustable rubber and brush wheels
- Front registration system
- Left and right push-pull side gauges
- Fine adjustment for printed-sheet alignment
High-Pressure Flatbed Die-Cutting Unit
The die-cutting section is built around a rigid load-bearing structure. High-strength QT600-3 ductile iron is used for key pressure-bearing components to support dimensional stability under repeated production loads. The main drive combines a heavy-duty crankshaft, wear-resistant worm drive, and high-precision intermittent mechanism to coordinate the platen movement and gripper-bar transport.
A pneumatic plate-locking arrangement helps reduce setup time and provides secure positioning of the die-cutting frame. The frame uses an intermediate positioning and fine-adjustment system to support accurate alignment. Automatic lubrication and oil-air cooling help protect the main transmission during extended operation.
Key die-cutting functions include
- Maximum cutting pressure of 350 t
- QT600-3 ductile-iron pressure-bearing structure
- Heavy-duty crankshaft and worm-drive transmission
- High-precision 240-degree intermittent mechanism
- Pneumatic plate locking
- Die-frame positioning and fine adjustment
- Automatic lubrication monitoring
- Oil-air cooling for the drive system
- Maximum documented die-cutting area of 1,290 × 920 mm
Electrical Control, Monitoring and Safety
The control system gives operators centralized access to machine settings, operating status, and production monitoring. The documented configuration includes a 15-inch human-machine interface and a 7-inch auxiliary display. PLC control coordinates the feeder, transport, die-cutting, and delivery sections.
Photoelectric monitoring, safety sensing, torque protection, and lubrication supervision are used to monitor key operating conditions. The machine is designed to stop or alert the operator when specific abnormal conditions are detected, helping protect personnel, sheets, tooling, and drive components.
Key control and safety functions include
- PLC-based machine control
- 15-inch main human-machine interface
- 7-inch auxiliary display
- Real-time production monitoring
- Photoelectric sheet detection
- Infrared safety sensing
- Torque-limiting protection
- Lubrication monitoring and low-oil protection
- Controlled voltage regulation according to the final electrical configuration
High-Pile Delivery and Non-Stop Sampling
The delivery system receives die-cut sheets and organizes them into a controlled pile. Automatic pile lifting, sheet-leveling devices, and two-way air assistance help maintain an orderly stack across both thinner paperboard and thicker corrugated materials.
Photoelectric monitoring tracks the receiving process, while anti-return protection and main-chain protection support stable operation. A non-stop sampling function allows the operator to inspect die-cutting quality during production without stopping the entire machine under normal operating conditions.
Key delivery functions include
- Automatic pile lifting control
- Maximum delivery pile height of 1,250 mm
- Automatic sheet-leveling device
- Two-way air assistance
- Photoelectric delivery monitoring
- Anti-return sheet protection
- Main-chain protective device

Export Packing and Worldwide Shipping
International delivery of a large die-cutting machine requires more than booking ocean freight. The machine must be prepared for moisture, salt air, vibration, lifting, transshipment, and inland handling. DAIS coordinates the packing and shipment plan according to the ordered machine configuration, destination, agreed Incoterms, port requirements, and the customer’s unloading conditions.
The final shipping plan is prepared after the machine configuration has been frozen. It should identify each shipping module, package dimensions, gross and net weight, lifting points, container requirements, separately packed accessories, and the tools or equipment required at the destination.
Export-Ready Packing
Secure Container Loading
Worldwide Ocean Freight Support
Shipping Documentation Support
Delivery-to-Installation Coordination
Export Packing and Corrosion Protection
Before packing, exposed metal surfaces and vulnerable machine areas should be prepared for export transportation. Electrical components, control equipment, loose accessories, and precision parts require protection from moisture and impact. Packages should be clearly numbered so the customer can compare them with the packing list during unloading and unpacking.
The project-specific packing plan may include:
- Cleaning and pre-shipment inspection
- Corrosion protection for exposed metal surfaces
- Moisture-resistant wrapping and desiccant protection
- Separate protection for electrical and precision components
- Export-ready cases for loose accessories where required
- Package identification matched to the packing list
- Packing and loading photographs for shipment records
Container Loading and Cargo Securing
The D1300S may need to be divided into shipping modules according to its final configuration and the selected transportation method. Heavy sections must be blocked, braced, and secured to reduce movement during inland transport, port handling, and ocean transit. Accessories and removable components should be packed so they cannot damage the main machine or become lost during handling.
The exact container type, number of containers, package dimensions, and loading sequence must be confirmed from the final packing plan. These details should not be estimated from the assembled machine dimensions alone.
Ocean Freight and Inland Transportation
Ocean freight is the normal international transport method for a machine of this size and weight. Inland trucking or other regional transport can be coordinated according to the origin, destination port, final factory location, and agreed scope of service. Available Incoterms—such as FOB, CFR, or CIF—should be confirmed in the commercial quotation and contract.
Air freight should be considered primarily for urgent spare parts or small components, not as the standard transport method for the complete D1300S.
