Plockmatic Group to launch volume roll to roll label production solution at FESPA 2025

Print Solutions

Plockmatic Group has announced that it will launch its next generation, high volume, roll to roll label cutter and finisher at this month’s FESPA Global Print Expo, taking place at Messe Berlin, May 6 to 9 2025.

The Plockmatic ColorCut LCF500 Pro system offers an all in one solution for volume roll to roll label production, which includes the ability to contour kiss cut labels, with the added benefit to apply laminates when required using integrated lamination capabilities, along with a range of finishing options for labels, such as waste matrix removal and slitting for finished rolls.

A wide range of shapes and label sizes can be produced on this versatile product, which offers precise, powerful, and easily managed cut functions via its built-in control centre.

Combining robust engineering with precision registration, the LCF500 offers instant job retrieval by reading printed page marks and QR codes. The system incorporates a patented auto tracking technology that continually measures roll position and deviation, dynamically and actively adjusting the roller mandrel axis to ensure complete cutting accuracy and finishing performance.

The Plockmatic ColorCut LCF500 Pro roll to roll label cutter and finisher can half cut (kiss cut) and half cut perforate roll based label media covering all popular sizes from 150 mm width, through 210/215 mm widths, up to a maximum web width of 320 mm. It accepts industry standard 76 mm cores with a maximum outer diameter of up to 300 mm. Accuracy is maintained with a four mark registration system, but to help users reduce waste the LCF500 print can use two marks per frame and the cutter will read the following two marks on the top of the next frame, ensuring precision with minimal waste.

Full automation and optimisation can be achieved using the ColorCut QR Code System which allows jobs to be automatically recalled using a QR code, thereby enabling mixed job production on the same roll. The LCF500 handles a wide range of media with its 750 gram force cutting capability, delivered in 3g increments, allowing precise cutting of fine, thin exquisite wine labels as well as thicker polyester shipping or chemical labels. Capable of a cutting speed of up to 10.5 metres per minute (shape dependent), the servo motor driven system incorporates auto tracking technology for roll position and deviation, managed via a built-in 20 inch display and keyboard for machine status and job control. To help ensure complete flexibility, the LCF500 comes equipped with a six blade slitting capability enabling the user to slit finished and cut labels into a maximum of seven individual smaller rolls as needed.

Demonstrations of the LCF500 and many other products from Plockmatic Group, incorporating Morgana Systems and Intec Printing Solutions, can be seen at location hall 4.2, stand A45 at FESPA 2025.
