The missing link in digital packaging production! Digital cutting has transformed short to medium run packaging and point-of-sale production. Cartons, presentation folders, wallets, tent cards, shelf wobblers and promotional products can now be printed, cut and creased in quantities of hundreds - quickly, economically and without conventional cutting dies. But once the cutting is finished there is often one process that remains stubbornly manual; applying the adhesive tape. The Plockmatic AutoTape files that production gap. Whether the finished product will be assembled immediately or supplied flat for assembly later, AutoTape provides the ideal next step after digital cutting. Simply feed the prepared product onto the machine and AutoTape correctly positions, applies and cuts the required tape. The result? Higher productivity, lower labour and greater consistency.
From digital cutting to rapid assembly, the Plockmatic AutoTape automatically applies double-sided adhesive tape to flat printed and cut items. It ensures fast, precise, and consistent application, eliminating the need for the labor-intensive process of manual taping. This innovative solution from the Swedish company Plockmatic is designed to assist businesses that produce custom digital products in small to medium print runs.
Ideal applications include: • Packaging and cartons - apply double-sided tape to digitally cut cartons ready for fast assembly; • Presentation folders and wallets - produce accurately taped pockets, folders and document wallets efficiently in short to medium runs; • Flat-packed packaging - apply the adhesive during production while retaining the advantage of supplying a flat, finished product; • Shelf wobbers and POS - create promotional items with accurately positioned adhesive ready for the end user to remove the liner and attach in-store; • Tent cards and displays - prepare display products for quick assembly without manually applying tape to every piece; • Promotional and specialist product - a flexible solution for the diverse short-run applications produced by today’s digital print businesses.

CUT. CREASE. TAPE. READY!
Digital cutters can create hundreds of finished blankets per hour. AutoTape helps make sure adhesive application doesn’t become the next production bottleneck. Market leading features: • Reduces manual handling - spend less operator time applying strips of tape; • Increase production capacity - keep pace with the output of today’s digital printing and cutting equipment; • Improve consistency - achieve accurate, repeatable tape placement throughout the production run; • Reduce operator dependency - produce consistent work without relying on manual alignment on every piece; • Handle more short run work - fast setup and changeover make AutoTape ideal for the increasingly diverse range of jobs produced in a digital environment.
Engineered for consistent production. Powerful pneumatic tape cutting. AutoTape uses a pneumatically driven tape cutting mechanism, providing a powerful and positive cutting action. This is particularly important when processing adhesive materials, where residue can gradually build around the cutting mechanism. The pneumatic system provides the force required for consistent cutting throughout demanding production runs. And the compressor is included - providing a complete, ready-to-install solution.
