Why Buy A Crest Clamshell?
Mastro Graphic Arts traded in a Thomson press, a Preco and a Standard because these presses lacked the cutting power of the Crest Clamshell.

Two Crests Are Better Than One
In this video, you can see a new operator learning to use the Crest, while an experienced operator sets up a difficult job on another Crest Clamshell. The Crest offers many user-friendly functions for new operators, and allows experienced operators to greatly reduce their job set-up times, saving time and money.

Kiss Cutting & Die Cutting Polycarbonates
Many of our Crest users selected the Crest based on its ability to easily cut heavy plastics. In this video, you will see the Crest die cutting and kiss cutting polycarbonates. Some of our customers even run heavy plastics across almost the entire platen area.

A Customer’s Opinion of the Crest’s Features
Sam Rivoli from Mastro Graphic Arts offers a customer’s perspective on features that convinced him to purchase the Crest. The Crest cost justifies itself; Mastro tripled the life of their dies, which added significant profits to the bottom line. The heater expands their ability to die cut and kiss cut plastics, especially polycarbonates.

Identical Crest Clamshells
Weidhaas Group maintains strict machine tolerances, which allow Mastro to move jobs from one Crest to the other Crest using the same make-ready and press settings. The interchangeability helps Mastro easily setup repeat jobs and when needed change jobs midstream without additional headaches. If customers ever need replacement parts, our Crest factory replacement parts fit right the first time.
