This article provides a detailed comparison of hot and cold cutting methods used in plastic bag manufacturing, emphasizing how the choice impacts production efficiency, edge sealing, and material compatibility. Hot cutting uses heated blades to cut and seal simultaneously, making it ideal for leak-proof and high-speed production, while cold cutting offers precise, sharp cuts without heat damage, suitable for a variety of bag types. The selection depends on factors such as material type, production requirements, and environmental considerations. Understanding the strengths and limitations of each method helps manufacturers optimize their processes and meet evolving industry demands.
