Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If punches plastic cards for computer-controlled Jacquards
Modern plastic punched cards for printers or plotters classify with printing machinery.
If for standalone digital card preparation without mechanical punching
Pure data copying equipment for office use falls under other office machines.
If used with non-textile Jacquard-type mechanisms
Equipment principally for other industries classifies as unspecified machines.
