Radio Frequency (RF) and Ultrasonic welding is used in diverse industries for fusing two or more materials together. Depending upon the precise tool function, very different levels of detail or profile are required and can be incorporated within the engraved tool. Typical Applications where these tools are used include: * Stationery – Book Covers, Stationery Wallets, Zip Bags, Binders and Office Files. * Textiles – Bespoke garment logo’s, decorative riboons. * Medical Items – Blood Bags and Colostomy Bags. * Inflatable Items – Beach Balls, Toys, Air / Water Beds, Rafts and Life Jackets. ** Click to know more **

This innovative rotary hot foiling system is designed as a cost effective option to replace engraved brass dies and provides a quality alternative to the magnetic foiling process. The image is chemically etched into the copper faced steel and sleeves are priced on area not complexity. Econofoil/UniSleeve benefit from improved registration when compared with other economic alternatives to engraved brass dies. Designed to run on low cost aluminium mandrels Econofoil/UniSleeve are produced to fit the majority of hot foiling units. End adaptors in mandrels for oil heated foiling units remain in place at all times reducing set up time for press operators.Econofoil/UniSleeve mandrels are considerably lighter than brass or magnetic foiling dies so are easier to handle and set up. Sleeves are lightweight, easy to handle and very economic to transport with customers benefiting from reduced freight costs. ** Click to know more **

* Produced in a range of material thicknesses: 1.6mm, 2.00mm, 3.00mm, 5.00mm & 1/4" * Etched to the highest standard * Borders and centre lines precisely positioned as required * Highly conductive and strong * More forgiving and less likely to DC arc so less likely to cause pits in steel work pieces. * Useful in the EDM machining of tungsten carbide, or in applications requiring a fine finish. We have the facilities to produce shaped electrodes for those tricky jobs that you might previously have turned down ** Click to know more **

Flat embossing and debossing dies and marking stamps and rings Male & Female embossing dies produced in copper, brass or steel with single level and multilevel options creating greater opportunities for special effects Marking Stamps & Rings Steel marking stamps and rings manufactured and engraved to customers specifications Customer supplied blank stamps and rings also engraved ** Click to know more **

Produced in a range of material thicknesses: 1.6mm, 2.00mm, 3.00mm, 5.00mm & 1/4" Harder and more resilient than magnesium or zinc dies Precisely etched fine detail Copper blocking dies create the most upright images and this, together with superior heat transference, results in the highest quality foiled images Perfect for longer running orders Can be used for foiling a range of materials e.g. plastic, paper, card, leather etc A finished product with sharp clean lines and upright profile to create the perfect product ** Click to know more **

Designed to fit into most foiling units, the Foilring foiling system utilises an aluminium mandrel which is considerably lighter than both brass and magnetic foiling dies making them easy to handle and reducing freight costs. Unlike other hot foiling systems that require a dedicated mandrel for each repeat length, a single Foilring mandrel can cover a 5” repeat range (19” – 24” for example). End adaptors in mandrels for oil heated foiling units remain in place at all times reducing set up time for press operators. Rings or sleeves are produced just wide enough to accommodate the engraved images significantly reducing costs. Foilring hot foiling rings and sleeves are precision engraved to depth of 1.00mm (or more if required) and have exactly the same accuracy as engraved brass hot foiling dies. For customers that require bearers, Foilring mandrels are supplied with bearers that are located at the edge of the cylinder. ** Click to know more **

UniFlex® Foiling Plates for Magnetic Rotary and Semi-Rotary Hot Foiling Stations The image is chemically etched into the copper faced steel and sleeves are priced on area not complexity. Economically priced tooling making the foiling of small quantities a viable option. Typically weighing less than 0.5kg, the plates are easy to handle and very economic to transport with customers benefiting from reduced freight costs. UniFlex® plates are the least labour intensive product when it comes to production and this is reflected in the price. The image is produced by chemically deep etching the copper faced steel. Copper is used because it deep etches so well and is much harder. ** Click to know more **

Rotary embossing dies manufactured from steel or a combination of brass and steel. Male and female embossing die sets produce multi-level images of highest quality and finest detail. Precision engraved or chemically etched to a depth carefully calculated to achieve the desired result. Cross web guide discs together with anti-backlash and adjustable gears ensure accurate registration both across and along the web. For less detailed images, more economic single male or female embossing dies used in conjunction with a hard rubber coated anvil may well achieve the desired result. Embossing dies are produced to run in both dedicated embossing units or an available cutter station. ** Click to know more **

Quickest & easiest to set up on press Precision engraved to depth of 1.00mm (or more if required) Brass cylinders make most efficient use of heat conductivity when compared with other current hot foil tooling options Cylinders are temperature compensated across and along web for precise registration Rotary brass foiling dies are environmentally friendly, produced without chemicals from 100% recyclable brass and using pure machining processes Cylinders are produced for all manufacturers rotary hot foiling units Precision engraved tooling for ease of use and peace of mind when it matters most. ** Click to know more **

Choice of 0.457mm or 10.00mm thick cliché plates. Suitable for use on both open and sealed cup pad-printing machines. Advantages of using 0.457mm thin pad printing plates * Less dependent on a clean air environment, considerably more durable and less easily damaged than softer photopolymer plates. * Have accurately controlled etch depths adjusted to suit all requirements * Hard wearing and more resistant to scratching than photopolymer plates * Can be effectively screened * Can be punched with holes to accommodate pin registration requirements ** Click to know more **
