"It's the price of a car but the AP360 easily churns through 100,000 sheets an hour," said Daniel Pooley, marketing and advertising manager for Renz.

"A major advantage is the kit's ability to take
difficult stock like heavy digital and wavy embossed papers and punch them accurately.

"Moving paper from the stack is a very difficult procedure and this equipment just smoothes out the ride."

Based in Stuttgart, Renz runs its UK operation from Hatfield and has one of the largest arrays of punching machines it is also the biggest producer of ring wire, according to Pooley.
