ZERO CLEARANCE PUNCH AND DIE - MODEL 16
Different materials have varying cutting requirements. Whereas polyethylene films can be efficiently cut with serrated edged tools, laminates, coextrusions and polypropylenes have other requirements. For high quality fine print pouches and bags, ragged looking hole cutouts are not acceptable.

Park Air has developed a special cutting system for these difficult to work with materials. The Model 16 features a fitted punch and die in an integrated unit assembly to accomplish precision alignment to tolerances below .001”. This punch creates a scissors action resulting in totally clean edges around the hole cutout. In polypropylene these clean edges prevent fracturing. In laminates and coextrusions, this clean appearance does not detract from the overall product appearance.

The Model 16 is easily adaptable to any bag or pouch making machine. Cycle rates up to 200 per
minute depending on hole shape and size and material to be cut.

These units are available for any of the standard hanger hole, tear notch or handle shapes. We can
also do round holes, thumb notches and made to order shapes and sizes. Economically priced, the
Model 16 represents an alternative to the costly expense of repair and replacement for current poorly
designed or worn out units. The punch and die can be field serviced and are easily sharpened for extra long life.
