How a Printing Company Boosted Efficiency with Speed Machinery’s Folding Solutions

When ColorPrint Co., a medium-sized printing company in Europe, decided to upgrade its post-press equipment, they faced a familiar challenge — growing demand, tighter deadlines, and increasingly diverse folding jobs. Their old paper folding machine could no longer keep up with new requirements for precision and volume.

After careful research, they chose Speed Machinery’s high-speed buckle folding machine. Within weeks of installation, their production efficiency increased by over 40%. The machine’s servo-driven feeder, advanced PLC system, and anti-slip folding rollers ensured stable, consistent results even during long runs.

Soon after, ColorPrint expanded into pharmaceutical packaging. For ultra-small leaflet folds, they added a miniature folding machine, allowing them to handle inserts as small as 20mm with perfect alignment — a task their previous equipment couldn’t manage.

For luxury packaging materials that used coated paper, the company later introduced a knife folding machine, which handled the thick paper stock effortlessly, preventing the cracking issues common in buckle systems.

“The Speed Machinery team didn’t just sell us machines — they gave us a folding solution that fits every part of our business,”
said Mr. Thomas, Production Manager at ColorPrint Co.

Today, ColorPrint operates faster, delivers higher-quality folded products, and has expanded into new markets — all thanks to a smart investment in paper folding machines tailored to their needs.
