What Machine/Process is this???

[splizaat]

We like to follow other sticker/vinyl shops and pick up on new techniques, processes, equipment, etc. and recently we started following @stickerapp on instagram. They post these videos of their production process every once in a while and a lot of them show sticker sheets rolling through this machine while a laser is cutting these stickers at a super fast speed. It appears the laser even cuts through the paper liner... What equipment/process even does this?? It's absolutely awesome.

they even put a video up of what looked like about 100+ sheets of stickers stacked where they pop all 100 stickers out of the sheet in one easy press.

Looks like an EFI Jetrion. unwind, print, cut, weed, roll and slit/sheet all in one pass. Killer press

those cnc laser machines are used in the garment industry. They cut 50 or more layers of cloth at one time at high speed.

Go to Graph Expo in Chicago. They will have those digital label presses running. Run so fast it looks fake until you see the blank feed roll. Latest rigs will do one million labels per shift. Laser looks like a shower of light since it has to go through the smoke made from "die" cutting.

You need to go just once to see the industrial end of what we do. Of course all the major players in our industry are there too.

So then technically it's a label printer, but they're using them for stickers?
