About us

We’re a modern cutting die shop focused on speed, quality, and innovative solutions that move your production forward.

PolyMX

PolyMX performance rubber, known as CITO Polytop, is a high-quality synthetic ejection material built for the demands of rotary diecutting. Engineered for durability, it lasts significantly longer than traditional rubber, reducing downtime and die maintenance. Its wear-resistant properties allow converters to cut with less pressure while improving overall product quality.

At Butler Brothers, we use PolyMX on rotary dies when performance matters most. It improves ejection consistency, supports faster press speeds, and helps maintain clean, accurate cuts—even in tough conditions. Combined with our craftsmanship, this advanced material gives you a more efficient, more reliable diecutting experience.

Counters

Impression counters are essential tools for tracking press rotations and corrugate kicks as material moves through the diecutter. Installed on rotary dies, these counters provide accurate, real-time data on machine cycles, allowing converters to monitor production, schedule maintenance, and identify wear patterns. By understanding usage down to the impression, operators can prevent overuse, save time, prepare for replacement tooling, optimize lifespans, and maintain consistent cut quality.
