Hand rubbering a die is a time-consuming process.  The drawbacks on hand cutting rubber can be additional labor hours, uneven ejection, and diminishing quality to the finished carton.  Sharples can supply paperboard packaging customers with a uniform cut set of ejection rubber.

Using water-jet cut rubber for ejection offers several benefits: the need for less tonnage, reductions in the number of ejection pieces required, reductions in the number of nicks, and increased press speeds.  Endorsed by many in the industry as the superior way to rubber a die, water-jet cut ejection is absolutely the preferred process.
