What is a frame press?
Basically, a frame press is a table with weather-stripping around the edges. The vacuum port is attached on the bottom. The top frame is hinged and has vinyl or polyurethane sheeting in the center. The amount of vinyl can be adjusted for panels that are thicker. The weather-stripping around the frame isn’t the best way to seal the bag and consequently, it’s not uncommon for the vacuum system to run constantly during use. Frame presses are also difficult to store in a small shop. Remember…a standard bag press is super easy to fold up and stow away!
