All flexible packaging punches are not created equal. Pearl Technologies’ performance packaging punches offer significant advantages in durability, customizability, and performance over the superior quality you already expect from our industry-leading standard products.
Let’s take a look at how Pearl’s performance punches offer added value to your operation across a wide range of applications.
Guaranteed Performance on Flexible Packaging Punches
As the world’s only dedicated maker of high-quality, long-life flexible packaging punches, Pearl brings unmatched precision and focus to our multi-step punch manufacturing process. Our premium punches are set apart by:
Superior Materials
Pearl premium punches are all made from high-quality stainless steel for the optimum combination of sharpness and durability. We also offer a wide selection of specialist coatings to improve performance and extend punch life.
Quality Craftsmanship
Our fabricated Performance Punches are hand welded by skilled craftsmen, who add a razor-sharp double-beveled ground edge that outperforms the machined edge on traditional lathe-formed cold rolled steel punches.
Depending on your material, Pearl Performance Punches can last up to four times longer than standard punches.
Flexible Options
Performance Punches are also offered in either our fine Piranha (16 teeth/inch) or sturdy Barracuda (5.3 teeth/inch) tooth pitches to handle any film thickness.
Our hand-crafted production process also means Pearl Performance Punches can be made in almost any shape or size your application requires.
