Introduction to Die Cutted Liddings

Die-Cut Liddings are pre-cut sealing lids widely used in the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Made from aluminum foil (typically 20–40μm), laminated films (30–60μm), or coated papers, they are precisely die-cut into specific shapes and diameters ranging from 40mm to 150mm to fit cups, bottles, and trays. These lids ensure secure sealing, product protection, and consumer convenience, while also serving as an effective medium for branding and product information. With excellent barrier properties , strong sealing performance, high-quality printability, and sustainable material options, Die-Cut Liddings are a key solution in modern packaging. Their versatility allows compatibility with a wide range of substrates including PET, PP, PS, and PE, offering manufacturers the flexibility to adapt to different packaging requirements.


Applications range across dairy products, desserts, juices, coffee capsules, nutritional supplements, and household consumables. In addition to convenience, Die-Cut Liddings help brands achieve differentiation through custom designs, embossing, and premium finishes. They can be printed using flexographic, rotogravure, or digital techniques, supporting up to 8-color high-resolution graphics. Looking ahead, the market trend is moving toward eco-friendly materials such as recyclable aluminum and biodegradable films, as well as advanced coatings for anti-counterfeiting, antimicrobial, and high-barrier protection. Enhanced compatibility with high-speed automation  will further support efficiency in mass production, while digital printing innovations open new opportunities for short-run customization and personalization.
