430 Stainless Steel In-cabinet Trash Bin In-cabinet Trash Bin is with punch-free hanging design. The kitchen wet waste bin could be hung on the kitchen cabinet door or wall by hook or removable adhesive strip, which is convenient for storing the kitchen wet waste and can effectively save space. And this small sealed trash can is equipped with semi-automatica slide open lid. Trash cans for kitchen cabinets is the first application of sliding cover structure in the household kitchen in-cabinet compost bin. The sliding cover structure uses a combination of gears, springs and dampers so that the lid can be automatically open slowly to a vertical state when the cover is slide by hand to 60 degrees from the horizontal. When the lid is closed by hand to 30 degrees from the horizontal, the lid can be automatically closed slowly. What's more, this stainless steel trash can for bathroom is designed with a small washable inner barrel, which is easy to empty and clean and could be cleaned in the dishwasher. Moreover, it is equipped with an odour filter placement for storing a piece of filter inside to reduce the moisture and odours inside the bucket.

Post-press die-cutting tape technology that printing practitioners should know
With the advancement of modern industries such as mobile phones, electronics, and electrical appliances, the packaging tape industry has evolved to meet specific demands. This sector primarily focuses on precision die-cut tapes used in roll-shaped packaging. As a result, post-negative die-cut technology has also been developed to enhance efficiency and accuracy.
Die-cutting is one of the most widely used processes in the packaging tape industry. It involves using a die cutter to create a cutting plate based on product design specifications. Under pressure, the tape or other materials are shaped into the desired form through this process. Meanwhile, creasing involves using a crimping knife or die to press lines onto the material, or using a wire rolling wheel to create fold lines, enabling the material to bend at designated points.
Typically, die-cutting and creasing are combined in the same template, allowing both cutting and indentation to be performed simultaneously on a die-cutting machine—this is commonly referred to as die-cutting. The main steps in the die-cut forming process include: setting up the upper version, adjusting the pressure, determining the distance, applying an adhesive rubber strip, conducting test cuts, performing the final die-cutting, removing waste, inspecting the finished product, and then packaging it.
Before proceeding with mass production, the die-cut version must be proofread to ensure it aligns with the design draft. Key aspects to check include the accuracy of the steel wire (crimping knife) and steel knife (die-cutting knife) positions, whether the slotted and holed cutting lines are continuous and smooth, and whether adjacent narrow waste edges are connected to simplify cleaning. Also, sharp corners at line intersections and abrupt ends of lines should be avoided. If any issues are found, the plate-making team should be notified for corrections to prevent delays and waste.
Once the die-cut plate is ready, it is installed in the die-cutting machine frame, and its position is adjusted accordingly. Pressure adjustment follows, starting with the steel knife. After padding, the machine is run several times to level the blade. A cardboard larger than the die-cut sheet is then used to test the pressure. Based on the cut marks, the pressure is gradually adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of backing layers, ensuring uniform pressure across all blades.
In general, the steel line should be about 0.8mm lower than the knife line, depending on the corrugated cardboard's thickness, which can vary. The rubber bullet’s thickness is calculated based on the die-cut cardboard’s thickness: rubber thickness = steel knife height - steel wire height - cardboard thickness. The rubber bullet should be placed on both sides of the main steel knife, allowing it to push the cut material away after being compressed. Ideally, the rubber band should be 1.2mm higher than the blade, with a 1–2mm gap between the rubber and the blade. This ensures even expansion and prevents the paper from being pulled sideways, reducing the risk of paper fibers and uneven cuts.
After these adjustments, a test cut is performed, followed by formal die-cutting, waste removal, and inspection. Once the sample passes inspection, mass production begins. Operators play a crucial role in the process, needing to be skilled and perform regular self-checks against the proofs to identify and resolve issues promptly.
Finally, excess edges are removed, burrs are smoothed out, and the finished products are inspected, sorted, and packaged. As the industry advances, information technology will continue to improve efficiency and speed, making the process more streamlined and precise.
