Currently, most advanced die cutting equipment is developing towards a fully automatic combination of printing and die cutting. The production line of die cutting machinery and printing machinery is composed of four main parts, namely, the feeding part, the printing part, the die cutting part, and the delivery part.

The platen and platen working surfaces of the horizontal flat platen printing slotting die cutting machine are both in a horizontal position, and the lower platen is driven by a mechanism to press upward towards the platen for die cutting and indentation. Due to the small stroke of the press plate of a horizontal die cutting machine, it is difficult to manually put in or take out cardboard. Therefore, it is usually equipped with an automatic paper feeding system, whose overall structure is similar to that of a single sheet offset press. The entire machine consists of an automatic cardboard input system, a die cutting section, a cardboard output section, electrical control, mechanical transmission, and other parts, and some also have automatic cleaning devices. The horizontal flat die cutting machine works safely and reliably, with a high degree of automation and production efficiency. It is an advanced model among flat die cutting machines.
