	Hello to everyone, I would like to know if there is any other machine that could be use to cut and perforate a blister sealed package besides the normal die punch press or roll die cutter. I was thinking of using lasercutting, since it doesn't have changeovers, but i was thinking about the quality of the cut since a blister sealed package is a PVC/PET not disregarding the smoke it would produce (Safety issue?) Could you suggest any substitute? Thanks in advance.

	How about a bench mounted, manual, lever operated, sheet metal shear? Check out McMaster-Carr, etc. __________________ Do Nothing Simply When a Way Can be Found to Make it Complex and Wonderful

	I have priced the machines you are talking about and know they are quite expensive. One possible way to get by cheap is if you can find a used Kluge (or other brand) letter press. I saw one used about a week ago to die cut some truly heavy stock. You might ask a few printers if they have one that is surplus to their needs. __________________ Peace be upon you.

	"I would like to know if there is any other machine that could be use to cut and perforate a blister sealed package..." If you would be more specific as to the size of packages, thickness of plastic and the number to be opened we might be able to provide something specific. __________________ Do Nothing Simply When a Way Can be Found to Make it Complex and Wonderful
