Professional card punching is not only a matter of the machine price Subsequent costs for punching tools and maintenance often destroy any ROI calculation

With our know-how in card punching for more than 15 years, Muehlbauer is the optimal partner for punching of plastic cards in different formats and materials and the only company in the world, able to punch polycarbonate material in a highly professional way.
The initial investment and operating costs of a machine are only a fraction of the expenses involved in a thorough calculation. Costs for regrinding of punching tools or the procurement of new tools are commonly disproportionale to the initial investment. Customers are misled by low machine prices and tricked by prohibitive maintenance and service costs! This sales principle is very well known from the printer industry.
