This is interesting. I am not clear though, you mention the use of a graphics press, is this a heat based adhesive or is it pressure sensitive? There isn't specific mention of testing for the product...
I can provide this information for you. The problem is applying information to their actual use. Basically, as you could surmise, two Oz clips would be similar to the capacity of a two hole D-ring...
