Contiweb Variable Coater

High-end system that can post-coat paper after printing or prime paper before printingIn current production

The Contiweb Variable Coater is a high-end system that can post-coat paper after printing or prime paper before printing, near-line or in-line. It handles stock from 60 to 250 gsm.

Each job you run comes with its own specific problems, and more often than not the culprit is found on the tooling shafts. The standard finishing tools supplied with your machine aren’t accurate, versatile or delicate enough for the results you and your customers expect. At Technifold we design and build bespoke, retro-fit premium finishing tools to solve both common and complex finishing problems.

Tooling for the Variable Coater

If it’s a wheel, a blade or a rib that touches paper or board, we can make it.

Tech-ni-Fold manufactures precision finishing tooling: 45,000+ tools running in 79 countries over 25 years. Alongside our patented systems, we engineer and machine components to order for finishing machinery of every kind, including machines like the Variable Coater.

Precision rotary tooling is what we do

Creasing ribs, scoring wheels, perforating blades, slitting knives, blade holders, anvils and custom shaft components, designed and machined in-house in the UK, by the company that invented and patented rotary creasing.

Engineered to order

Most of what we make started as somebody's problem, not a catalogue page. Send us the part, the drawing, or just the job that's going wrong, and our engineers will tell you straight whether we can make it better, sharper or cheaper.

OEMs buy from us already

Machine manufacturers source blades, holders and finishing components from us under their own part numbers. If you build or maintain machines, you get a supplier who actually understands why the part is shaped the way it is.
