• Bending

What is a common application of bending in paper and board forming?

• Creating a hinge in a cardboard box

• Cutting out a window in a package

• Engraving a logo onto a surface

• Joining two pieces of paper

Which of the following processes can be used to both cut and engrave paper and board?

• Die cutting

• Laser cutting

• Creasing

• Bending

What is the typical outcome of a die cutting process?
