A cutting device for cutting off pieces from a strip of material, and a device for producing plastic pieces, and which includes at least one cutting device.

An object is to provide a method of cutting a laminate film by a circular cutter having a blade around its peripheral edge portion, including rotating the circular cutter at a blade peripheral speed of Vr by a rotational device in a forward rotational direction relative to the cutting direction, while, at the same time, moving the circular cutter at a moving speed of Vc, thereby cutting the laminate film, wherein the relative cutting speed V calculated by subtracting the blade peripheral speed Vr from the moving speed Vc falls within a range of not less than 50 m/min to not more than 30 m/min.

In some embodiments, a modular system for a printer may include a support bracket configured to be coupled to a printer, a cutting unit laterally mounted to the support bracket, and a tamp system laterally mounted to the support bracket. The cutting unit may be configured to receive a label web from the printer.

The invention generally proposes a method, a cutting device (1), a removal device (20) and an unpacking device (26) for preferably mechanically discharging a container (3) from a bag (2), wherein the bag (2) is cut open with at least one cut (13) and the container (3) is discharged via an opening (14) formed by the cut (13), wherein, in order to cut the bag (2), a disk-shaped knife blade (5) interacts with a counter element (6), in particular rolls on the counter element (6) (FIG. 2).
