This is being driven by an understanding that most recovered materials can replace virgin materials, resulting in landfill avoidance and potentially huge energy savings. An essential component required by the die cutting in- dustry, die cutting boards form the basis of a flat or rotary cutting die into which the contours of packaging are in- serted. Then, the cutting and creasing rules are positioned and finally the appropriate rubber coating is applied. Family-owned Batavia Container relies on dieboards daily.
