Grommets

Mr
Our company does a lot of grommets in 10mm coroplast. Wondering what options are out there to make this step fast, especially making the holes. Ideally some kind of punch

we have one of these and I wish it auto-loaded but it feels like it'll last forever and is easy to operate with lots of power. The dies are $$$$ though


We didn't buy it from them, bought it from the manufacturer which I'm blanking on right now and it was around $3k

Forgot to mention that this type of press punches and grommets in one step. For most of our grommeting we use a regular Hiker press but if we have hundreds of grommets or thick media this automatic one is nice.

I can easily punch through ACM with a standard bench top grommet press (or my automatic one)... so the grommets are certainly sharp enough that I don't need to predrill... but something that thick and "squishy"? My guess is that you would need a drill press to get a clean hole, and follow that up with long throated grommets (assuming you don't want to crush the coro).

looked back and we purchased ours from Edward Seagul mfg. Feels a bit overpriced but well built and with a long throat grommet it’ll grommet 10mm Coro cleanly and quickly.
