A wide Santoprene surround easily handles the punishment handed out by the L5s motor & cone, & a rear foam gasket secures the stamped-steel basket to any baffle.

Water resistant to an impressive 984 feet, this REACTOR original arrives in a distinctive silver box that's ideal for storage or gift-giving.Reactor Never Dark™ - the World's Most Advanced Watch Lighting SystemThroughout the history of the wristwatch, designers have struggled with the best method to illuminate the watch face for easy viewing at night. Originally, radium paint was applied, but the radioactive side effects to the workers quickly made this unacceptable. Various phosphourescent compounds have been tried, but most remain visible only a short while in the dark. Electroluminescence was introduced in the '80s, but has the disadvantages of reducing battery life and requiring a button press to activate. Tritium-filled luminous tubes entered the market in the '90s, and while their multi-year illumination makes them a good choice, their relatively low brightness can be difficult to see in partially lit conditions, or immediately after moving from a brightly lit to a dark environment.Starting in 2003, Reactor developed a proprietary method of applying a unique Swiss material called Superluminova that makes our watches the brightest and longest-lasting phosphourescent watches in the world (as verified by independent testing). However, while Superluminova is at least five times brighter than tritium after being charged in the light, that brightness fades to below that of tritium over several hours. As part of our quest to build the best watch possible, we saw a better solution.Never Dark™ is the first technology to combine the intense brightness of Superluminova with the multi-year longevity of tritium, providing optimal illumination under all lighting conditions. Because it can take up to 30 minutes for the human eye to fully adjust to the dark, Superluminova's intense peak brightness makes a Never Dark™ watch easily visible during that initial period. This can be even more important when moving repeatedly from light to dark (such as when going below deck on a boat during the day), as the Superluminova will continually recharge and the eye will not have time to adjust. In situations where the watch will remain in the dark for many hours, the tritium will remain visible for years, even if the watch is never returned to the light.This graph illustrates the performance of each illumination source over time. While tritium remains at a constant level, Superluminova gets extremely bright then fades over several hours, but recharges very quickly when re-exposed to light. Never Dark™ is the only watch illumination to "self-adjust" to conditions, with a response curve similar to that of the human eye. At its peak, the glow of Superluminova is easily visible, even at dusk or in difficult, partially lit conditions. With a full charge, it produces five to ten times the light output of tritium. But, as that brightness fades, the tritium will continue to glow for at least ten years.Tritium is radioactive. Should You be worried?Unlike radioactive isotopes that have been used on watches in the past, tritium poses no health risk to the wearer or to the workers who assemble the watches. Tritium's radioactive decay produces only weak beta particles that are contained completely within the sealed glass tubes. Even if exposed, the beta particles do not posess enough energy to penetrate the outer layer of human skin.

Here are some more information for Buckle Sealed:
Buckle Sealed

The most commonly used packaging strategy is known as strapping or also called bundling. This process is normally done by applying a strap to an item like a box or a palette to combine, hold, fasten and to reinforce stability and also helps to protect shipping and avoids shifting of the items during transportation. The strap itself is a flat but flexible material most commonly made from different plastics. Depending on what kind of items and products strapping is applied, there are different advantages for different materials being used as strap. Paper strap is used for securing paper products between industrial processes for example as the need to cut the strap is not necessary and can be removed fast and easily during the flow of the production process. The strongest material to be used for strapping is steel - it is also the oldest method known. Steel is normally ideal for extreme duty holding like in the construction industry where heavy items need to be moved efficiently. The strap out of steel is often coated and has a surface finish of wax or paint to even out the tension around the objects that need strapping.

Mostly used and known is plastic strap - mostly polypropylene and polymer variations. It is mostly used for strapping palettes, has often embossed or printed messages like company logos on it and is ideal for the light to medium duty. It offers very good elongation at break, however this material tends to have "dead stretch" under extended stress which is then beyond repair. Polyester is more used when you need a near-steel strength as it has the strongest plastic characteristics. In cold climates a strap bonded in hot melt glue is the ideal support for transportation as it is extremely weather-proof then. Polyester shows better strength and does not tend to material fatigue in comparison to strapping with polypropylene based strap. The best and most specific strength has Nylon but it is very expensive and has been replaced over time by polyester. It is mostly used when material is constantly stored in cold rooms as it deals also best with ongoing low temperature.

The last version used is woven and corded strapping and normally consist of polyester and rayon (which is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fibre, a semi-synthetic fibre, also known as viscose). When you are using this kind of material you will however require a buckle for doing the joints. The advantage is that it has a larger system strength than steel and makes it ideal for rail shipments and sea transportation as the strapping has an "memory" effect and stays the same over a very long period of time.

Strapping materials are joined in different ways - after the strap is tensioned the strap is often sealed to itself with the help of melting the plastics together with hot knife systems. Thicker plastics use systems where the plastic material is pressed together in addition to pure heating and literally forces the material to be joined by building friction with teeth shaped tools. Steel strap is sealed with a nothc joint and a seal, a seal and crimp or via welding.

How to Decorate Difficult Substrates with Heat-Applied Graphics

How to Decorate Difficult Substrates with Heat-Applied Graphics

If there’s anything worse than turning down a job — and potential profits— it’s turning down a job when you know you could’ve done it if only you had the right tools. Fortunately, saying no to difficult substrates is something that you can avoid less and less, if not altogether, thanks to ground-breaking new products and heat-seal equipment.

Hair-pulling items such as umbrellas, golf bags, swim suits, and bags can now be done quickly and easily by with the use of specialty platens and specific types of heat-seal machines that allow for the positioning of awkward shapes. In other words, now you can say yes to once-difficult items, giving your shop a competitive edge and another avenue to increased revenue. 

Improving Technology

Heat-applied graphics and heat-seal presses have come a long way since their humble beginnings. Technology has dramatically improved the quality and durability of transfers to the point where they’re equal to, if not better than, screen printing. Meanwhile, improvements in heat-seal machines abound, including automatic pop-up features and digital pressure gauges, all of which make it faster, easier, and more practical to use heat-applied graphics.

Print-and-cut technology also has benefited from technology improvements, including the ability to print a full-colour design on white media and cut it so it’s ready for application. What does that mean for you? It means there’s no waiting for a custom order from a contractor or having to invest in screen printing equipment. Further, new materials developed specifically for print-and-cut technology give you more decorating options, including the ability to decorate water-proof nylon, 100% polyester, and super-stretchy materials such as Lycra® Spandex.

The Right Tools

Your first step in eliminating the headaches once associated with difficult-to-decorate items is to find the right equipment, starting with your heat press. While clamshells and draw-style heat presses have their benefits, a swing-away press is ideally suited for challenging items because it keeps heat away from the workspace, making layout extremely easy, and it locks down from over the center onto thick items, giving a better seal. Swing-aways are available in manual and automatic air press configurations, the latter of which is hooked up to an air compressor, allowing the press to open and close automatically at the touch of a button.

What’s more important than this design consideration, though, is finding a swing-away press with an open throat design, which allows for clearance underneath the bottom platen; the base of the press is affixed toward the back, not in the center. Why does this matter? Let’s say you’re decorating a golf bag. You’ll want all that extra space underneath to let the bag hang off. Finally, for the most hassle-free decorating experience with the most space underneath, look for a press with a stand (as opposed to a tabletop configuration), sized at least 40 x 50 cms.

When choosing a swing-away press, look for a fully digital unit, which will give you digital time, temperature and pressure measurements, giving you more precise information while decorating. For instance, every time you set the knob to a particular PSI (pounds per square inch) setting on a digital unit, you’re assured of getting the same pressure as the previous time.

If you don’t have a swing-away press, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to tackle difficult-to-decorate items; it just means the job will be tougher than it needs to be. If you try to tackle the items anyway, set up your press so you have as much clearance as possible underneath.

Change Will Do You Good

Another plus of open-throat style of swing-away press is you can load the shirt onto the lower platen the same way as you load a shirt on a screen print pallet. This is called “threading.†Only the top layer of the shirt is on the platen, the rest of the shirt hangs below. Threading an item rather than just laying the entire garment on top of the platen gives you a better seal by ensuring that seams, zippers, buckles and other obstacles are out of the way. This process eliminates the need for pillows, print pads, and other workaround items.

Another critical feature for difficult-to-decorate items is interchangeable platens. For example, a 15 x 25cm platen works well for baby shirts, youth garments, small jerseys and bags. Other standard platen sizes include 20 x 25cm and round 18cm, which works well with roll bags that have circles at either end, or umbrellas.

Custom platens also are available from suppliers for around £125 and a two- to four-week turnaround; they can even make a single custom platen to accommodate two items. Decorators may want custom platens for fold-up chairs, leather portfolios, luggage, lunch cooler bags, and other challenging items.

Most suppliers will request that you send in the item or items that you want to heat press and they will custom manufacture a platen to do the job. In addition to the item, they also need to know the make and model of your heat press. For high production situations, a custom platen can make a huge difference in efficiency and productivity as workers spend less time positioning the item on the press and then taking it off.

Whichever size and shape you use, the point is you should always choose the platen that best fits the item’s imprint area. Better fit means more consistent pressure, which in turn leads to a better-looking design that won’t peel off.

The more services you can offer your existing clients, the greater amount of loyalty you can expect as they keep coming to you for all their needs. Expanding the range of products you can decorate also gives you an opportunity to add on to existing orders as well as branch out into new markets offering new items. With the improvements in technology and equipment, there are very few things that can’t be decorated with heat-applied graphics.

This bag was decorated on its side, but if you wanted to decorate the rounded ends of a roll bag you could use a round platen and each rounded end of the bag also could have a heat-seal graphic applied.

Standard platen sizes include 20 x 25cms and round 18cm, which work well with roll bags that have circles at either end or umbrellas.

The most versatile type of press for decorating difficult substrates is an open throat swingaway. You can purchase this type of press on a stand, which allows even more clearance for things like a golf bag.

How much pay do mall store jobs (Aeropostale, Buckle, F.Y.E. etc..) start out at?

I'm thinking about applying to the following stores : Rue 21, Aeropostlae, Bath and Body Works, Buckle, Build-A-Bear, F.Y.E., Hollister, PacSun, and Wet Seal.

Does anyone know how much any of these stores start out with, like how much an hour?
