UNSPSC 45101706: Printing punches

UNSPSC 45101706 Printing punches is a Commodity code covering specialized cutting and finishing equipment and consumables for high-volume print production. State and local governments procure flatbed cutters with integrated tooling systems, replacement consumables such as laminate ribbons for card-printing equipment, and associated installation and training services. The issuing bodies span school districts, municipalities, and transit authorities; the School Board of Volusia County, Florida and the City of Philadelphia appear in recent activity.

Recent opportunities show divergent work streams within the code.
