BEST PRACTICES FOR EXTENDING THE LIFE OF YOUR PUNCHES


Posted on December 27, 2022May 24, 2023 by Jennifer Fowler

Flexible packaging punches need to deliver crisp, clean cuts on tough material,
time after time. Here are some tips to make sure your hole-making punches keep
their edge.


6 STEPS TO KEEP YOUR INDUSTRIAL PUNCHES SHARP

Repetitive clean cutting of the tougher films and laminates puts a lot of
pressure on your punch tooling. Whether you’re cutting high-volume flexible
packaging pouches, bags, vent holes for foodstuffs, or heavy-duty medical films,
here are some industry best practices for keeping hole edges cleaner for longer
and extending the life of your punch.


1. BUY PERFORMANCE PUNCHES

The sharp end of your business is no place to cut corners. Picking
high-performance punches from the outset will pay off in the long run. Pearl
Technologies’ premium fabricated toothed punches can last up to four times
longer than standard toothed punches and feature:

 * Durable stainless steel construction
 * Double-beveled ground edges
 * Customization to any shape or size hole
 * Welded mountings (standard or metric thread)



For precision cutting surpassed only by laser technology, consider investing in
Pearl’s Zero Clearance die cut solutions. Our premium Zero Clearance die cut
punches are capable of delivering millions of ultra-clean cuts and can be
resharpened two or more times to deliver unmatched quality over an extended
life.


2. PICK THE RIGHT PUNCH FOR THE JOB

Sounds obvious, but selecting the right tool for the job is critical. Pearl
Technologies can help you pick a long-lasting punch with the right tooth pitch
for your flexible packaging application:

 * For high-quality holes in thicker materials, choose Pearl’s fabricated
   Barracuda punches
 * For thinner films, Pearl’s Piranha toother punches will keep cutting longer
 * Our ORKA unit offers a customized pneumatic solution with oversized teeth for
   cutting holes measuring 1.25 to 10 inches


3. BE CAREFUL DURING RETOOLING

Take care when switching out tool and die sets. Not only can careless handling
lead to cut injuries, but a dropped punch is almost certain to be damaged.
Pearl’s Lightning punch units feature tool-free punch change-outs to reduce the
chance of equipment damage, while our unique Safety Box feature eliminates punch
handling altogether.


4. STORE PUNCHES CORRECTLY

Taking the time to store punches properly will increase their life and keep your
hole edges looking good. To avoid bending or blunting, punches should never be
stored with the teeth downward.

Pearl recommends storing punches in a tube with wax, cotton, or foam to help
keep the precision-ground edges of punches razor sharp.


5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT COATING

Some Pearl punches feature Titanium nitride Tru-Kote coating to enhance
durability and combat corrosion, but we also offer other FDA-approved specialist
wear coatings to further extend use life. While our premium fabricated stainless
steel punches offer unmatched durability, this can be supplemented with our
Black Pearl coating to maximize durability.


6. PARTNER WITH A PUNCH SPECIALIST

Pearl Technologies makes some of the finest industrial punches in the world.
With more than 35 years of experience designing and building standard and custom
high-speed machine attachments for punching holes, we know a lot about matching
the right equipment to your application.

Talk to Pearl about what you’re cutting and we can recommend a stock or
customized punch that will perform best to meet your needs. We’re able to make
punches for most OEM equipment with specialized adapters for different lengths
and threads.

We also offer our customers access to the Pearl Application Lab, where we can
pre-test our punches on your materials. Simply send us a sample and we’ll run it
on our line, matching your manufacturing environment. Our technical team will
use the results to recommend the right Pearl punch for your application.


PICK YOUR PUNCHES WITH PEARL



Handling the complex flexible pouch and bag packaging and composite laminated
materials demanded by today’s consumers puts unprecedented pressure on
converters and producers. Both OEMs and end-users are scrambling to produce
superior quality products at ever greater scales.

At Pearl Technologies we know our products sit at the sharp end of your
investment in flexible packaging equipment. Our punches are essential to
ensuring the quality of your product and their durability and longevity has a
direct impact on your bottom line.

While our precision-engineered, U.S.A-made fabricated punches may not be the
cheapest option, paying a little more for quality and reliability offers clear
benefits down the line, including:

 * Cleaner cuts
 * Longer use life
 * Less wear and tear on machinery
 * Reduces downtime

No one makes sharper, longer-lasting punches than Pearl. We also offer more
punches in stock and more customization options than anyone else. Click below to
