Paper is at the heart of our expertise.
With our cutting-edge technology for folding, creasing, and book and photo book binding and assembly processes, work is carried out efficiently, accurately, to a high standard, and cost-effectively. Petratto machines are designed to work with a variety of thicknesses and weights, always guaranteeing high-quality results.
Whether it's small productions or large print runs, right up to the management of micro production processes (book of one)
Machines
Our machines by process
Die creasing
Creasing prevents cracking and imperfections along the fold lines. It is an essential step for achieving precise folds, especially on heavy card stock, laminated materials, or photo paper.
Die creasing and folding
The combination of creasing and folding operations allows for the creation of items such as covers or brochures.
Folding and thread sewing
The D-sig and D-sig plus machines prepare and sew signatures to create thread-sewn book blocks. A perfect solution for both digital and offset printing at an affordable price.
Delivering and stacking
Used with traditional folding systems, PICCOLO 46/66/94 and PGN 46/66 optimise sheet handling through automatic collecting, pressing, and stacking.
Folding
The Poster Folding machine handles large formats with ease, delivering fast, clean folds — even for complex or customised layouts.
Folding and gluing
The Metro line, which is fully modular, can be configured to meet initial folding and gluing requirements. It is designed to evolve over time to meet new processing needs.
Traditional die cutting
Our die-cutting machines offer versatile processing capabilities for paper, cardboard, and corrugated cardboard, handling both offset and digital prints and incorporating special finishes such as gold foil and embossing.
Digital die cutting
Eclipse automates the die-cutting process by integrating mechanical creasing into the continuous production flow, which is completed by laser cutting or plotter stations.
