Bison is a hybrid platen foundation system: a rugged aluminum base paired with interchangeable top boards. You get stability like aluminum—plus the freedom to change platen sizes without buying another whole platen setup.
That means quicker changeovers, fewer limitations when customers request new garments/placements, and a setup that supports small-to-mid shops scaling up.
Why it wins on ROI: Keep your base and hardware. Replace or add tops as needed at minimal cost—so you’re not paying “dedicated platen” pricing over and over.
Compatibility: Works with presses using 2.5"×1.5" arm tubing (Hopkins / Riley Hopkins / Odyssey-style).
