Frequently asked questions

Why does stretch control matter when laminating sheeting?

Reflective sheeting deforms if tension varies. Servo stretch control keeps the film dimensionally stable, preventing waves, misregister and waste.

Which materials can the machine laminate?

Reflective and non-reflective sheeting used in license plate production, configured for your material specification.

Is it suitable for high-volume production?

Yes. It is built with durable components and automated controls specifically for accurate, high-volume production. Discuss your volumes with a Crest engineer.
