Perforation is the precise process of creating openings in plastic materials. These can be executed in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and patterns – from simple round or square holes to sophisticated and complex designs. The result is a lighter, more versatile material that can be used for applications such as ventilation, acoustic performance, or to achieve a distinctive visual effect.
Embossing, also known as relief printing, gives plastic surfaces a unique texture or structure. This not only adds aesthetic value but also delivers important functional benefits. Embossed plastics can provide anti-slip properties, improved rigidity, or reduce glare and reflection, making them ideal for both technical and design-driven applications.
Punching, also known as die-cutting, is a mechanical process in which a shape-specific tool is used to cut a thermoformed plastic product from the residual sheet with high precision. It is an essential post-processing step following thermoforming, where speed, repeatability, and edge quality are key priorities.
