About Die Cut

In printing business, die cut is important process that would allow the job to work easily and smoothly. It is the printing process - which is quite old, actually - to create different designs or shapes with "punch out" style out of the paper. It's usually done by machine. The function of it is to create paper shape in large number. Printing business such as making labels, sticker, posters, paper decorations, and others need its process to be done. Printing business usually use the big machine to produce a lot of cuts quickly; while smaller hand cut only make small number of it to serve a lot of purposes.

The die cut machine is basically almost the same as printing machine. However, they serve different purposes. The board for cutting is put inside the heavy machine and then the paper is pressed to cut the shape. It has sponge plate that has hidden blades under it, which then inserted through the machine and being pressed over the paper to cut a bunch number of papers. The papers won't be loose because they're attached to certain places. The basic application also works on smaller die cut although the size and the numbers of papers produced are much smaller. As it said before, it can be used for professional and personal use. For printing business, they would have at least one die cut machine to produce stickers, boxes, letters, and many more. For personal use, it's usually done for scrapbook process and hand craft. Sometimes it can also be used for creating banners or decorations for home and party. The size may also different too, with big cut available in large sizes and small cut available is hand size

It comes in different types, such as:
  • Blank, to produce flat shape which are often found in standard die cut paper style
  • Bend, which presses flat material over certain shapes
  • Form, which forms a curvy shape over curvy surface
  • Bulge, which makes the end of a tube being bulging, by using oil, water, or rubber part.
  • Shave, which will shave the side of the paper until it reaches the required accuracy
  • Trim, which will cut the unwanted parts of blank space
  • Coin, which will form blank part with different side like standard coin

 That's why die cut is considered very important in printing business and much needed to produce required design and shape.

Presidents’ Day: America’s Top Presidents

Presidents' Day is a national holiday in America. It is a day of honor for all the men who have served in the office of President of the United States. As I researched how people rank the men that have held the highest office in this land, I was somewhat surprised to be challenged by the definition of the term "rank".
Indeed, I saw lists of the "hottest" Presidents of all time. This beauty list usually includes Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, Thomas Jefferson, Franklin Pierce, and Teddy Roosevelt. I saw lists of the best Democratic Presidents of all time. Of course, there were lists of the best Republican Presidents as well. The list of great Democratic Presidents usually included Presidents of more recent vintage like Clinton and Kennedy. The Republican list almost always included Ronald Reagan.

Of course there are some people who just don't know enough about our history to rank any Presidents. In fact, when the question of which Presidents were the top three Republican Presidents in history was recently asked on Yahoo, a person called "Just an average chic" responded: "Are there any? Hmmm..... I draw a blank here".

I thought to myself after looking at that answer that sadly many children have been left behind in our educational system. If that is the knowledge base of the average person, we are a society in big trouble. (Note to the United States Congress, we need to get moving on that new "No Child Left Behind Act").

However, on this Presidents' Day, my definition of the top rated Presidents does not include being handsome or hot. They don't have to be either Republican or Democrat. They don’t have to be modern or popular. What they need to have done to make my list is to have achieved the most. They need to have made a difference. They need to be the best and they need to be recognized as the best over time. So I turned to the consensus ranking among scholars for the Presidents' ratings. Here is their consensus of the top three rated Presidents in American history.

This President said: "The nation which indulges to another habitual hatred, or an habitual fondness is in some degree a slave. It is a slave to its animosity or to its affection, either of which is sufficient to lead it astray from its duty and its interests." He created a country from nothing. First President Of The United States, "The Father Of The Country", George Washington is rated third by scholars.

This President said: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Returning America to work after the Great Depression, The New Deal, Pearl Harbor, and World War 2, (FDR) Franklin Delano Roosevelt is rated second by the consensus of scholars.

Finally, it probably doesn’t really surprise you that Abraham Lincoln is the choice of scholars for the best President of the United States. His most famous speech was called "The Gettysburg Address". He was the President during the Civil War and was responsible for preserving the Union. His Emancipation Proclamation freed the slaves. He was the first President assassinated in office and a martyr for the country. The massive sculpture built as a memorial to Abraham Lincoln located in the National Mall in Washington D.C is certainly not overstated.

Of course, there were many other great Presidents of the United States. The list of the scholars top 10 Presidents goes on to include Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, Woodrow Wilson, Harry Truman, James Polk, and Dwight Eisenhower. However, Abraham Lincoln is the choice for the best President of the United States and for the benefit of all the "just average chics" out there, he was in fact a Republican.

Reputable Search Engine Optimization Service: What To Look For

Article Submitted by: Fathin IBM
When you’re ready to print your next project, Top Commercial Print provides printing in full color ,offset and degital.
A reputable search engine optimization service may seem difficult to find if you do not know anything about SEO, which of course stands for search engine optimization. You are probably very used to finding suppliers in the area of your own business. You know your business, you know what you need and what makes a good or bad supplier.
However, when it comes to something outside the scope of your own business it can be a little harder. The owners of most small businesses do not spend a lot of time working on their websites because of the technical challenges. Usually, they have somebody else design their website for them.
If you hire a professional to design your site, you may get someone who knows about SEO and can optimize the site so that it receives more traffic from the search engines. However, if you were just looking for a site designer, the person may not be skilled in SEO.
This is especially true if you had a friend or family member design your site for free or for a very low cost, as many small businesses do. In that case it is very unlikely to be well designed for SEO purposes.
And if your site was optimized with what is what is known as on page SEO, the designer will almost certainly not have done anything else to bring you traffic. There is a whole range of tasks known as off page SEO that involve building links to your site, submitting it to directories, etc.
You will need to hire a reputable search engine optimization service to do that kind of thing for you, if you want to maximize the marketing potential of your website. And these days the internet is the first place most people turn when they want to find any kind of business or service. So having your site make it to the top of the results that they see when they search is becoming more and more important to the survival of many small businesses.
One way to find a reputable search engine optimization provider is to ask around other businesses. You can either do that by networking with other business owners in your city, or online. Remember that just like with other suppliers, the cheapest is not usually the best. You will want results that last and probably, somebody accessible that you can talk to by phone.
If you choose to search online, then a good place to look is forums. You will find plenty of SEO forums, but you may prefer to use a more general business forum. This is just because SEO forums are designed more for search engine optimization providers themselves. You will find plenty of information there about how to do SEO, but not so much about how to hire somebody to do it for you.
One thing to remember is that unlike other suppliers you may use for your business, SEO skills are pretty much the same for any type of website. So you do not need to chat with other people who are in the same market. Anybody who has had good results from a reputable search engine optimization service will be able to help you with a recommendation.

The BASIC Formula For High Quality Sticker Printing

When you’re ready to print your next project, Top Commercial Print provides printing in full color ,offset and degital.

Article Submitted by: Lynne Saarte


Let me give you the basics in developing high quality stickers. All you really need to do is to remember this "BASIC" formula cooked up by many professionals for high quality sticker printing. I have listed the formula below as well as some added explanations on how to actually implement the formula. Just follow through all these formula elements and you should turn up high quality color stickers in no time. B - Beautiful, high resolution images.
The first basic element that is essential for a high quality sticker are beautiful high resolution images. Mere web images do not work well in professional sticker printing simply because they turn fuzzy and often times become discolored when they are printed. It is always good to use high resolution images from real original sources to make sure that those images and graphics appear clean and clear in sticker printing. So do not be lazy and get something from the Internet. Use your own talent and get high resolution images for your custom stickers.
A - Attractive easily understandable fonts.
The second basic element that makes a great high quality sticker are attractive and easily understandable fonts. The font typeface typically sets not only the whole mode or type of custom sticker design, but it also of course affects the readability of the main message itself.
If you want to print truly high quality custom stickers, you should always try to use simple sans serif fonts that are highly visible and of course easily understandable. There are plenty of free fonts on the Internet today, so you should not run out of sources.
S - Special sticker paper and inks.
It is also a basic element of high quality stickers to have special sticker paper and inks. Material quality counts for a lot in sticker printing since this will determine the look and life of the color sticker. To make sure that you turn out high quality custom sticker prints, it is best to use the best one you can afford. In most cases, any thick material with a glossy coating should do it. This should make the sticker durable and of course make it gleam in the light as well for that final professional finish.
I - Inviting statements for action.
Also, most of the best stickers out there have very powerful inviting statements for action. Whatever your stickers may have as a message, it is good to have one element in the design that encourages people to act in some way to the message they read on the sticker. Most of the time, this can just be a simple message that tell people to "buy now" or "visit now". However others include small instructions at their custom stickers to make sure that people really understand what they need to do to respond to your stickers.
C - CMYK printing.
Finally, if you really want to print great quality color stickers, you should always go for CMYK printing and not the RGB kind. CMYK stands for Cyan Magenta and Black. This four color sticker printing process should help you turn out very vivid and almost real looking images in color stickers since those four color mixes gives out more color combinations than the typical Red, Green and Blue type of prints. So if you can, try to find a printer that uses CMYK colors for your color stickers.
So that is the BASIC formula for high quality sticker printing. Now you should have no trouble printing out the best color
