Paper and film processing encompasses machinery for the further processing of paper, cardboard and plastic film into finished products. Key areas include paper cutting machines (sheet cutters, web cutters) and folding machines for leaflets, letters and inserts.
For bookbinding, adhesive binding machines (hot-melt, PUR), wire-stitching machines and thread-stitching machines are used. In the film sector, there are film cutting machines and laminating machines for cold and hot lamination.
Leading manufacturers include Polar, Heidelberg, Müller Martini, Wohlenberg, Stahl, Horizon, MBO, Kolbus, GBC and Renz.
These machines are used in print shops, bookbinding workshops, packaging companies, in the production of promotional materials, by label manufacturers and in the in-house print finishing departments of large companies.
