Recommendations for best results
Folding – both folding and scoring can be made with PolyPa. After folding it is recommended to keep the product under nipping for 30 minutes min.
Punching – given the nature of PP, best results are achieved with a round punch. A square punch if not correctly registered may cause tearing.
Die Cutting – blades should be sharp and free from nicks, avoid right angles and sharp corners as it may cause tearing. Right angle cuts should be made with 1/16 inch radius hole, use a double bevelled blade.
