Plockmatic sets versatility focus for FESPA 2026

Plockmatic Group will use this week’s FESPA Global Print Expo in Barcelona to showcase its next generation of “highly creative and versatile finishing” solutions to a global audience.

Visitors to the Plockmatic stand in hall 2 will be able to view live demonstrations of the new FB9550 Pro-T, a fully automated, tangential creasing and cutting digital die‑cutter.

Engineered for what Plockmatic bills as “lightning-fast production” and “exceptional media control”, the machine can be used to run a wide range of pieces, from complex packaging prototypes to point-of-sale displays and professional labels.

Stand-out features include five tools to support die cutting, creasing, perforation, debossing, and kiss cutting. It also operates with a QR code-driven workflow, enabling file retrieval for mixed or batch job production.

Alongside the die cutter will be the recently launched SC7800 Pro-RS XL, the manufacturer’s fully-automatic flagship creasing system, while visitors can also view the established SC6500 and SC7100 models.

Other highlights on the stand include the ColorCut LC330 and LC700 sheet label cutters, the LCF520 roll-to-roll label cutter finisher, the FB1190T superfast B1 flatbed cutter, and the ColorFlare CF400 desktop foiler.

“All the technology rich systems on show at FESPA are designed to deliver cost effective, creative, production agility,” says Mark Baker-Homes, vice president for the Plockmatic Packaging and Label Business Unit, adding: “They enable highly automated, uninterrupted production with reduced operator involvement, lower labour costs and greater overall efficiency. 

“Designed to deliver smarter vision and faster workflows for total automation, they handle the complexity to allow operations to focus on higher‑value tasks.”
