Atlas C300 Creaser + Folder Combo Demo
Product Details
The Formax Atlas C300 combines creasing and folding into a single integrated unit — handling digital print finishing without separate creasing and folding stations. This video shows the C300 in operation, creasing and folding digital-printed sheets in one pass.
What this video shows: Digital-printed sheets feeding through the Formax C300's air-feed mechanism, the integrated creasing head applying creases along configured fold lines, and the folder bringing the creased sheets into final fold geometry. Integrated workflow that eliminates the separate creaser + folder workflow.
Who buys the Atlas C300: Print shops finishing digital print where toner cracking on folds is a quality issue. In-house design departments producing brochures, invitations, and folded cards. Direct mail houses producing creased self-mailers from digital print output. Operations whose volume justifies an integrated unit over separate creaser + folder.
Why the integrated creaser + folder: Separate creasing and folding stations require two setups and two passes per sheet. The C300 does both in one workflow — saving setup time, reducing handling, and producing more consistent results. For digital-print finishing at production volume, integrated is the standard.
Key specs: Integrated air-feed creaser + folder | Substrate: digital print stock, coated and uncoated | Fold types: standard mail folds with creasing | Throughput: production-tier sheets per hour | Touchscreen or programmable control (configuration-dependent)
Frequently asked
How does the Atlas C300 compare to a Formax FD-series folder?
The C300 includes integrated creasing; standard Formax folders (FD300/FD382/FD3200) don't. For digital-print work where creasing is required, the integrated C300 saves a step. For uncoated-only work, a folder-only unit may be more economical.
Can the C300 do creasing without folding (creasing only)?
Yes — the C300 supports creasing-only mode for jobs that need the crease but will fold elsewhere or stay flat. Setup configures the unit per job.
How does the C300 compare to the C100 and C200?
The C100 and C200 are the smaller tiers in this line; the C300 is the higher-throughput option. Pick based on daily volume and required substrate range.
