The perfection of your diemaking is our concern – so raise your productivity, reduce your costs and increase your work protection with CITO EasyFix.
CITO now presents EasyFix, the new family of self-adhesive profiles that allow you to equip your cutting dies quickly and precisely. EasyFix was developed especially for diemaking, to withstand the loads that arise during the diecutting process.
Using EasyFix profiles means you no longer need to perform the complex activities involved in conventional adhesion and positioning. As a result, you save valuable time.
Your customers too can profit from the use of EasyFix profiles on the cutting die, because neither removal of the rubber lining nor changing blades result in the familiar damage to the cutting dies.
Rubber lining can be detached without leaving any residues
Blade can be changed without damaging the cutting die
Liquid adhesives impair the operation of the rubber lining. The use of EasyFix profiles guarantees the flawless performance of your discharge materials. The absence of liquid adhesive also has a positive impact on work and environmental safety by protecting both your employees and the environment from the effects of solvent vapours.
When using CITO EasyFix, no interfering adhesive sticks on the rules and ejection materials. The rules can settle properly in the tool. The setting up is carried out reliably and quickly, no need for additional gluing work. CITO EasyFix technology – superglue-free laser cuts!
Using EasyFix for rubber coating your cutting dies not only saves you time but also money. Despite the high material costs, CITO Easyfix pays for itself after only one metre.

The FAST Rubber EasyFix profile has been part of our range since the summer; indeed it has meanwhile completely replaced conventional rubber profiles.
What marks this product out is its straightforward handling, which puts an end to cumbersome gluing with instant adhesive. It is even possible to briefly remove the profile during setup, for example if you need to grind a nick.
The EasyFix profile remains in place even after thousands of diecut sheets have been processed.

After an intensive test phase, we replaced all of the A/1 profiles with the D/5 profile EasyFix and are have been using it for three months now. One major advantage of the D/5 profile for us is the fact that it is only half as wide as the A/1 at the bottom. One consequence of this is a far better adjustment to the contours of the cutting rule. We can reduce the time for rubber lining the dies by 20 % thanks to this alone.
Another advantage is that the EasyFix profiles are self-adhesive, so the additional process of gluing the profiles with superglue is no longer necessary. By using the CITO EasyFix profiles, we have fewer hazardous materials in circulation and a possible correction of the profile is easy and fast to manage.

As one of two internal DS Smith die makers, we are constantly looking for products which also have a health & safety profile. CITO has managed to secure this profile with the EasyFix concept.
As a die maker, it is of utmost importance that we protect our people from hazards arising from ordinary gluing products. This can be done in many different ways, but EasyFix is an EasyWay ☺
We have tested the different color coded D5 profiles with flat bed die cutting and the first results were:

We are very satisfied with Cushion Crease EasyFix, because it is so quick and easy to apply. We were very pleasantly surprised by its strong adhesive force – it did not become detached, even during extended diecutting, and it maintained its adhered position.
For us, it has several advantages compared to applying rubber profiles using instant adhesive:
To guarantee optimum adhesion of your EasyFix profiles, please observe the following instructions:
Before attaching the EasyFix profile, make sure that the surface of your cutting die is dry and free of any dust, oil, separating agent or other soiling.
Only clean and lint-free cloths should be used to clean the surface of the cutting die.
Only clean and lint-free cloths should be used to clean the surface of the cutting die.
Avoid all skin contact with the adhesion surface as this may reduce the adhesive force. Clean the surfaces to be joined. Remove the protective film from the adhesive strip and position it on the surface. Press the EasyFix profile down firmly onto the surface. It is important to apply sufficient pressure to create a good contact between the profile and the cutting, as this is important for good profile bonding.
We would recommend using a mounting tool to ensure maximum adhesion of all profile sections on the cutting die.
EasyFix profiles can be stored for at least 12 months in the closed carton.
