Precision Rotary Die Steel Rules for High-Speed Die Cutting
Rotary Cutting Rules (also called Rotary Die Cutting Rules or Rotary Die Steel Rules) are precision blades mounted on cylindrical rotary dies. They are essential for continuous rotary cutting, used in industries such as:
- Corrugated packaging
- Folding cartons
- Label converting
- Tissue & film cutting
- Foam & non-woven die cutting
Rotary rules operate at high speeds, making them critical for clean cutting, consistent performance, and long service life in rotary die cutting machines.

These blades are also known as:
Rotary Perforating Rule / Perforating Cutting Rules
Rotary Cutting Rule
Rotary Die Blade / Steel Rule Die Cutting Blade
Curved Cutting Rule / Curved Notched Cutting Rule
Types of Rotary Cutting Rule Blades
YITAI provides a full range of rotary die cutting rules engineered for different materials and cutting requirements.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Notched Rotary Cutting Rule | Pre-cut notches for easy bending and precise positioning. Common in curved notched 1.42mm steel rule. |
| No-Notch Rotary Rule | Straight rule without pre-cut notches. Ideal for simple rotary die shapes or manual adjustment. |
| Rotary Perforating Rule | Used for tear-off lines in labels, tickets, tissue products. Includes perforating cutting rules 4pt and custom tooth designs. |
| Curved Cutting Rule | Pre-formed to match the rotary die cylinder radius. Ensures perfect fit and high cutting precision. |
