Depends on volume.

They are supplied in reels (100K ?) and should be applied and reflowed
prior to removal of the break-off strip carrier, to preserve alignment
and coplanarity.

They can be installed manually, one off, with various jigs or clamps
of your own, enabling lower volumes - but the tecnology is aimed at
automation.

Again, check out the capabilities of your intended fab resource and
design-to-meet for least hassle and trouble-free introduction of
larger scales of production methods. They may even supply you with
sufficient samples of their prefered material, to allow early physical
development, without increasing lab part inventory.
