In label manufacturing, precision converting plays a vital role in achieving consistent quality, minimising material waste and meeting demanding production schedules. From accurate label cutting to slitting and rewinding, converters need dependable equipment that delivers repeatable results across a wide range of jobs.

Lesko Engineering develops die-cutting and finishing solutions designed to support the evolving needs of the label and packaging industry, combining robust machine construction with flexible configurations for different converting applications.

Precision That Supports Productivity

Accurate die-cutting is essential for producing labels with clean edges, consistent shapes and reliable quality. Lesko’s die-cutting systems are designed to process both printed and unprinted materials, supporting label converters across different production requirements.

The Lesko RLS DIE series combines die-cutting, slitting and roll-length or label-quantity finishing in an integrated machine. Its die-cutting unit incorporates an anvil supported by a robust shaft, helping maintain stable operating parameters during extended production runs.

Flexible Converting for Different Applications

Every converting operation has its own requirements for material handling, roll dimensions, cutting accuracy and finished-roll presentation. Lesko offers different machine configurations to suit these needs.

Depending on the model and configuration, available capabilities include:

  • Rotary die-cutting: For efficient and consistent label production.
  • Slitting and rewinding: To convert wider rolls into finished rolls of the required width.Label and length counting: To support accurate roll preparation and order fulfilment.
  • Waste matrix removal: To manage matrix waste during label converting.
  • Sheeting options: For applications requiring finished sheets rather than rolls.

These capabilities help converters streamline finishing operations and manage a broad range of label production jobs.

Modular Solutions That Grow with Your Business

For converters looking to integrate multiple processes, Lesko’s CL Converting Line offers a modular platform that can be configured around specific production requirements.

Available modules can include unwinding, printing, rotary or semi-rotary die-cutting, rewinding and additional finishing functions. Servo-driven modules and centralised multi-axis control support coordinated machine operation.

The modular design also allows the line to be expanded with additional functions as production requirements evolve, helping businesses adapt their equipment to new applications and changing customer demands.

Designed for Demanding Production Environments

Reliable performance and stable operation are important for converters working with tight deadlines and high production volumes. Lesko’s RLS DIE series is designed for long-term industrial operation, with configurations available in web widths of 280, 380, 440 and 530 mm and published maximum speeds of up to 220 m/min, depending on the model and operating conditions.

The appropriate configuration depends on the substrate, label design, tooling, finishing requirements and desired production output.

The Right Die-Cutting Solution for Your Converting Needs

Choosing the right die-cutting system involves more than machine speed alone. Cutting accuracy, material compatibility, web handling, waste removal and finished-roll requirements all contribute to overall production efficiency.
