Abstract
A method of installing a sleeve on a die cylinder of a die cutter, the sleeve having a thickness that reduces a gap between the die cylinder and an anvil cylinder of the die cutter. A first locking component of an anvil cover is secured in a locking component receptor of the anvil cylinder and the anvil cylinder is rotated until a second locking component of the anvil cover is pressed by the sleeve to couple with the first locking component in the locking component receptor of the anvil cylinder.
