  1. UPS vs. FedEx?

    UPS over FedEx seven days a week and twice on Sunday. Well... They are both closed Sunday but you know what I mean. As for freight companies, I only really have experience receiving but I can XPO Logistics has been much better than anyone else. It seems no one knows how to prepare a skid for...
  2. New Shrink Wrap Setup

    Looks awesome. I have been wanting one for a long time (specifically the tunnel). Do you ever do die-cut/cut-to-shape decals/stickers? That's all we do and I'm worried it will sheer/skew as it goes through the tunnel. Have you had any trouble with that yet?
  3. Need Help Die-cutting labels and stickers

    Just as a quick update I turned off the cut line pattern and it is a little more than twice as fast now and it actually cuts a bit cleaner now. Thanks for the tip!
  4. Need Help Die-cutting labels and stickers

    Thanks for the info! We do simplify everything and it does help a lot. I have a job of 5,000 circles that were cutting tomorrow- so I'll test turning off the cut line pattern with this one and go from there.
  5. Clear Vinyl Profile SC-80600

The colors are actually really good but the problem is it's very slow. Its about 5-6x times slower then printing without the white. I understand why it would...
  6. Need Help Die-cutting labels and stickers

    I have to think they have a lot more now. I don't have any experience with flatbeds either but it just seems like a step in the wrong direction. Plus, as you mentioned the price is significantly more. I'd say our average is about 2" x 3". They aren't particularly complex, but seems like they...
  7. Need Help Die-cutting labels and stickers

    Would have been interesting to see the video. Yes, using barcodes. Each cutter isn't down more than 5 minutes each hour to swap rolls/replace blades.
  8. Need Help Die-cutting labels and stickers

    Can I ask why you said Sticker Mule has about 6 or how you know they use Graphtecs? I ask because I have 5 FC-9000s and I have a hard time getting 25K cut in a 10-12 hour day.
