English translation:die cut/hollow punch
Explanation:
The term comes from the leather (fashion) industry and has been subsequently applied (with great force) to metal, paper and so on.
It is most commonly used to make all kinds of regular and irregular designs, in particular rounded shapes.
My business card, which I designed, has nicely rounded corners, which were obtained by using a "fustella", a die cut, after the printing process.

Example sentence(s):
  • Die cutting is the process of using a die to shear webs of low-strength materials, such as rubber, fiber, foil, cloth, paper, corrugated fiberboard, paperboard, plastics, pressure-sensitive adhesive tapes, foam and sheet metal.
  • Dinking uses special dies called dinking dies, or hollow cutters. The edges of the dies are usually beveled about 20° and sharpened. The material is punched through into a wood or soft metal block in order to not dull the edges.
