When the full service printer, Editions & Impressions du Pacifique (EIP), received a job requiring finely detailed and intricate die cutting they were surprised when their steal rule die supplier said a die could not be made. A steal rule die could not be made with the intricate detail required for the project. EIP turned to H.S. Boyd and the Inline Offset Cutting (IOC) system for a solution. Within days a flexible die was created that was mounted onto the blanket cylinder of their Heidelberg MO press. This allowed them to perform all finishing functions in-house and deliver the project exactly the way the customer wished.

2. Editions & Impressions du Pacifique (EIP), a full service
printer fulfilling the printing needs of the remote islands
of New Caledonia, has been reaping the many benefits
of the IOC system since early 2014.

3. A client presented EIP with a three panel promotional
project that required an intricate die cut of a shell on the
front panel and two scores for folding.

4. After contacting the steal rule supplier, EIP learned the design was
too intricate to be die cut with a steal rule die. To keep from
turning down the project or outsourcing the finishing, EIP reached
out to H.S. Boyd to get a free project evaluation and quote.

5. Within a couple of days, an IOC die was in production that would
be used to die cut the shell and score the multi-panel promotional
piece on a Heidelberg MO printing press.
