XY Tool & Die, Inc. is widely known as an aluminum foil container die manufacturer. Not only are its capabilities such that it produces individual class “A” dies to fabricate foil containers, but also entire turnkey systems for the manufacture of foil container programs.

XY Tool & Die, Inc. can not only design dies but it also develops and builds them, as well as the peripheral equipment that is necessary for high-speed aluminum container production. Components such as stackers, uncoilers, air consoles, and any other equipment associated with the manufacture of foil containers are within the base of knowledge contained at XY Tool.

All dies are made of top grade tool steel, with hardened punches, hardened formers, hardened draw rings, built-in pistons, and built-in cushions or commercial cushions for air operation. The shear rings or lower cutting edge are also made of a prehard steel or material drawn to a lower rockwell so the shear ring can be peened to maintain a good cutting edge. XY Tool can also make blank layouts to provide approximate material widths for a container, also calculate scrap percentage, and approximate running speeds. The company can also recommend material gage and hardness.

XY Tool & Die, Inc. is a full service company that can provide all information required to create dies and to run containers.
