Magnesium dies price list from 1 October 2009

Dies prices depend on the surface area of the die.
If the dies needs to meet special conditions or requires special processing, we will provide a separate quote before production.

Calculating the surface area of a die

Regardless of the image on the printing area of the die, the size of it will calculated based on the smallest rectangular area surrounding the image. Then a technological margin is added to this area on all sides (dimension c in figure 3).

Technological margin sizes:

► for 2 and 3 mm dies: 0.5 cm;

► for 7 mm dies: 1.0 cm;

► for embossing dies: 2.5 cm.

Desired die image.

Die’s printing area – d x e

Die’s surface area – a x b

technological margin – c

Die’s thickness – f

etching depth – g

The surface is calculated using the formula S = a x b,

where a = d + c + c and b = e + c + c

For example:

a) the surface area of a 2 mm die with a rectangular printing area with a width of 9 cm and a height of 7 cm is (9 + 0.5 + 0.5) x (7 + 0.5 + 0.5) = 80.0 cm²;

b) the surface area of a 3 mm embossing die with a circular printing area with a diameter of 11.5 cm is (11.5 + 2.5 + 2.5) x (11.5 + 2.5 + 2.5) = 272.25 cm²;

c) the surface area of a 7 mm die with a polygonal printing area with a maximum width of 18 cm and a maximum height of 6.5 cm is (18 + 1.0 + 1.0) x (6.5 + 1.0 + 1.0) = 170.0 cm².
