Cut any shape, without the need for dies
Plotter-style label finishing system
Afinia’s Digital Label Finishers are systems that unwind, laminate, digitally contour cut, remove waste, slit, and rewind in one simple process to create professionally finished labels. These solutions are perfect for finishing on-demand, short-run label jobs printed on a digital colour Label Printer.
This full-size finisher is available in two widths (8.6 in/220 mm and 13.75 in/350 mm web widths) and with or without lamination capability.
Print shops are also using digital die cut label finishing to offload short runs from larger, more expensive equipment or to add the capability to produce labels in-house—allowing for faster turnaround, better quality control, and more profitability on lower-volume label runs.

Considerations
• Desktop Use Only: With a footprint of ~1.7 m × 0.8 m and weight ~180 kg, it needs dedicated table space.
• Limited Throughput for High Volumes: Excellent for low-to-medium production, but dual-plotter needed for scale.
• Software Requires Windows: Only compatible with Windows 8.1+, not MacOS

The DLF 220S Dual adds a second cutter head to halve movement—boosting cutting speed by up to 127%, ideal for larger jobs or faster turnaround.
