Double edge dies are used in applications with an identical right and left portion. The double edge die could be utilized to greatly reduce die cost. Such applications would remain the shoe and glove trades.
Gang dies are acceptable clicker dies in duplex configurations used for high volume otherwise multiple part situations. A good example of a gang die would be a key fob in which you have orders for 10,000 pieces. Instead of just die cut one at a time it would be productive to cut a 2 up or 3 up gang die to do the cutting job with efficiency
Precision dies are frequently used where extreme tight corners and fine tolerances are required. And they are an exceptionally precise die milled from extreme grade tool steel. This type of die may be unaffordable as it requires a fair amount of time and skilled labor and expensive machinery.
Latest applied technology in cutting dies features a serrated edge so as to allow the die to pierce multiple layers of provisions much easier than conventional edge cutting dies. These special edge dies also help eliminate fusing with many materials.
