The addition of a VeloBlade Nexus 2516 wide-format digital die cutter has enabled BEL Signs to significantly speed up production.

Featuring a bed size of 2,500×1,600mm, the cutter, combined with CNC router, allows users to work with stocks up to 25mm in thickness, including key sign-making materials such as Dibond, MDF and acrylic. Stand-out features on the machine include automatic cut depth setting and tool change, making production easier for the user, as well as the ability to cut, crease and perf in a single pass, helping speed up production.

Managing director, Peter Bedford, said: “We have certainly been able to speed up all of our finishing.

“We can now take on quick turnaround orders that include large amounts of cutting and still do them at a sensible cost. For one example, we processed an order of over 500 large posters in less than two-and-a-half hours, which really pleased our customer.

“The work we are running is very varied, ranging from posters to thick and thin foamex, graphics and even plywood. But we are on a learning curve every week we find something we can develop. In fact, we are experimenting with short-run packaging, which is another reason we chose the machine as Vivid has a great history with that.”

BEL Signs took delivery of the Vivid Laminating Technologies machine earlier this year from Soyang Hardware.
