Custom cutting dies for gaskets and foam
Steel rule dies for cutting seals, pads, gaskets and foam inserts from rubber, EVA and similar sheet materials, made to your drawing.
Clean, repeatable gasket and foam parts
A steel rule die cuts the full outline and any inner holes of a gasket in one press. Every part comes out the same, which makes it a simple way to produce gaskets, washers, pads and foam inserts for prototypes or regular production.
Common jobs
Gaskets and seals
Flat gaskets with bolt holes and inner openings.
Foam inserts
Case and packaging inserts in EVA and other foams.
Pads and washers
Anti-slip pads, spacers and washers.
Prototypes
Single dies to test a new part before production.
Which base for industrial use
For production work we usually suggest a compressed plywood base (18 mm). Clear acrylic (15 mm) and PVC (5 mm) bases are also available. Compare the three bases.

How to order
- Send your pattern. A CAD or vector file (AI, DXF, SVG, PDF), a scan, or a clear phone photo of your paper pattern.
- Approve the proof. We redraw it as an exact cut line and email you a 1:1 scale proof with a firm price.
- We make and ship it. Hand-bent and mounted in 3–7 business days, then sent by EMS with tracking.
Tell us the material and its thickness in the order form, and we will confirm the right blade for it.
Questions
What file do you need for a gasket die?
A DXF, AI, SVG or PDF drawing works best. A scan or photo of a sample part with measurements also works. We send a 1:1 proof for approval first.
Can one die cut the outline and the bolt holes together?
Yes. Inner holes and openings can be built into the same die.
Do you make single dies for prototypes?
Yes. The minimum order is one die.
