Because cutting is where precision, efficiency and repeatability  start. ✂️ Automatic cutting vs. die cutting — why both matter Automatic cutting (BULLMER): ✅ Extreme accuracy & consistency ✅ Ideal for complex shapes, frequent design updates, short to medium runs ✅ Faster iterations during development and p
