Folding and gluing machine with double letter press creasing heads, recto verso | Desta

The Desta machine produces letterpress creasing using the identical blade and matrix tooling as the die cutting machine. The paper stops in perfect registration and the creasing knife hits into the paper against a matrix, which allows the depth and width of the crease to be controlled.

The Desta creasing, folding & gluing machine has been designed for scoring recto verso, and working with many kinds of paper and board stocks in short or long grain direction, and generally speaking, any difficult stock.

Thanks to its unique letterpress double scoring head, the Desta creases the flaps and the spine of the book covers in recto, while the courtesy scoring is done in verso. Further, where difficult papers crack at the folding point, the Desta creases and folds in-line, avoiding or reducing the problem.
