You must select the right punch for flexible packaging to ensure the punch is consistently done to the highest quality. Therefore, it’s important to invest and choose a punch that really works well to make your business thrive. Toothed punches are well-known, but the minor differences in each punch can make a real difference to its performance. In fact, Pearl Technologies offers a range of high-quality punches, from customised, affordable, and reliable, this blog will explain the selection they have on offer and what you should be basing your decision-making around when choosing a punch.

Did you know that Pearl Technologies is the leading manufacturer of quality-toothed punches for flexible packaging operations? From their value punches to their impact punches and finally their performance punches, they’ve got a punch that will suit your application best.

Performance Punches

This is Pearl’s most outstanding punch, which can deliver super clean cuts, particularly in thick materials. Comprised of stainless steel, the Performance Punch will last up to 4 times more than industry standard punches, there’s also a choice of titanium nitride or black pearl coatings to further extend its life. The punch’s edges are also super sharp, with either Barracuda or Piranha teeth, based on your application. Whilst this punch comes in standard sizes and shapes, it can also be custom-made for your application, how impressive?!

Impact Punches

One of Pearl’s newer punches, the Impact Punch is consistent and punches to the highest quality, more than you’d expect. This is due to the proprietary metallurgy that the punch is manufactured with, allowing it to hold edges well and have a 1.5-2.5x durability level compared to Pearl’s Value Punch. It’s also extremely sharp, having a new tooth design form that works excellently on a range of flexible products. Furthermore, it’s circular meaning it can fit with many adapters, and is currently being manufactured in the most common sizes, with more to come as Pearl rolls out production.

Value Punches 

Known for its reliability and cost-per-performance, Pearl’s Value Punch is great for standardised products as it’s predictable. Firstly, this punch fits a variety of standardised adapters and can also fit some customised mounts and equipment. This standard circular shape comes in a variety of sizes meaning it can be used for multiple machines. Again, the Value Punch is ideal for thinner flexible products like film, it’s single-bevel edge can create a quality shape. Similarly, the punch is made from cold-rolled steel, meeting OEM equipment standards. Additionally, a Tru-Kote coating can be added to further boost its durability.
