The Spanish firm has added a 16mm diameter grommet to its range of 8, 12, 25 and 40mm products.
It has also launched a range of automatic eyelet applicators. The range includes the moderately priced PMS060, a lightweight pneumatic press aimed at smaller printers and the APM 120. The APM 120 is an automated machine for larger businesses. Additionally the company has launched two further versions of the APM 120, the APM 140, a table-mounted machine and the APM 160, which moves on a floor-mounted track.
The thermoplastic polymer grommets can be recycled as plastic material group 7 and are free of heavy metals, anti-corrosives, chlorides and phthalates. It is also claimed carbon emissions from transportation are reduced as they weigh half as much as metal equivalents.
