High production heat seal/foiling

Thanks but those locals are a deal breaker. What we've come up with works quite well its an off the shelf product one day away. Just trying to tweak to see if it can be faster. Adhesion washfastness= awesome

Finished time studies on 500 pcs nape and f/front foil. Heat seal throughput with one person on a air shuttle is 1,200 to 1,500 and double that for the two. The math is working. Definitely worth doing even if its only a few orders a week. Just had to spend $100 to run air to the rooom. Everything else was laying around. And our receptionist loves peeling foil. The program we designed it for hits in 250, 500, and 1,000 pcs. Hard part was configuration and the other things mentioned in the OP. Now anyone can do it.

Everybody just use a paper cutter to chop foil? That's how we've always done it, is there a better way?
Cutting up purple today, we use high density tinted to foil color. Works great.
tonypep:
We have a custom built 48" serrated cutter with a gridded cutting board for accurate sizing. Much much faster, safer, and accurate. Allows for maximum real estate. Needed too speed up all aspects of foil application. Permanently attached the teflon sheets to the transfer heads. Removes the 2 extra steps of placing and removing the sheets.

I'm going to go do that right now! Thanks for the tip!
Crown will slit however you want with a minimum order. Doesn't do much for you if you have leftovers though.
