Heidelberg ST-500
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.
Your ST-500, finished properly.
Engineered for your Heidelberg ST-500
1 tool family fits this machine’s shafts — no modification, fitted in minutes
Crease without cracking, perforate cleanly, score and cut inline on the machine you already own. No outsourcing, no second pass.
Proven in print rooms worldwide
“Witherby's have purchased a full range of Tech-ni-Fold products over the years and I can honestly say they have paid for themselves many times over. The quality of the product and the results we have achieved on folders and Muller lines have been superb. I honestly cannot recommend these products highly enough.”
“We received the Spine-Creaser attachment this morning and it went right in without any problems. The before and after on the cover spines is so dramatic that everyone from our sales department is floored!”
“Action Print Finishers are pleased with the purchase of your Spine-Creaser. Previously we could only crease to the maximum of 250gsm and at times not very successfully as we were experiencing cracking, particularly when creasing across the grain. With your creasing unit we are able and confident to crease any job up to 400gsm with not a sign of cracking, both with and across the grain.”
“We have now used our Tech-ni-Fold Spine Creaser for a Horizon 5500 for a couple of months with great success. We really improved our quality and optimised our production, saving a lot of time. Therefore I can highly recommend this product.”
