Xerox's Fusion PunchII puncher, which is linked to GBC, is designed to punch holes in spiral bindings that require flat files. The Fusion PunchII puncher includes an online stacker and adjustable puncher capable of processing mixed paper and has become standard on Xerox's DocuColor, DocuTech and DocuColor iGen 3 series digital presses.

Single-sided laminating machine

D&K Group introduces the System 2760 single-sided laminating machine. It is equipped with an easy-to-operate compact automatic paper feeder, swing-type mandrel for easy film loading, an automatic sheet separation device, and a PLC touch screen control panel. An optional surface-molding roll that can be easily replaced is also available.

High speed laminating machine / production punching machine

GBC's Polaris is a single-sided high-speed film processing system. The highly automated Polaris laminator features an 18-inch sorghum feeder for high-volume processing that enables high-speed lamination of a wide range of paper sizes.

The Quantum P70iX production high-speed puncher from GBC also has the features of high processing speed, tool replacement and CNC panel without tools, and can support almost all existing punching modes.

Rotary creasing device

The Tech-Ni-Fold Tri-Creaser creasing device, introduced by Converting Resource Network, can be connected to a folding machine to avoid fiber breakage during folding processing for substrates up to 100 pounds in weight or higher. Especially digital printed sheets are prone to this phenomenon). Its unique rotary indentation processing device replaces the original offline indentation process, specially designed indentation strips and a variety of selectable indentation widths, enabling untrained operators to easily perform perfect indentation processing. Don't worry too much about the direction of paper fibers.

Tri-Creaser can also be used with folding/indentation equipment from large companies such as Stahl, MBO, Herzog & Heymann, Shoei, Horizon AFC, GUK, and Rollem.
