Foil Emboss Combination

Combination dies lay foil and form the emboss in one hit, so the foil sits exactly on the raised image with no registration drift between operations. It is the standard for premium packaging and covers.

  • Single-pass foil + emboss
  • No inter-process registration drift
  • Ideal for covers, packaging & luxury print
  • Sculpted combination tooling

Internal Stripping

In-line stripping on the Commercial Cut 106 clears internal waste as the sheet runs, including delicate or light materials that would tear on a hand strip. Quality stays high and turnaround stays short.

  • In-line automatic waste removal
  • Safe on delicate and light stocks
  • Reduces handling and damage
  • Faster turnaround than hand stripping
