Three years ago, we bought a Crease Matic 150 creaser from Ashgate. We were very pleased with it at the time but it was handfed and A3 format. 

When the SRA2 fully automated Crease Matic Auto50 was launched, we knew it would give us
so much more productivity and versatility. The matrix-style creaser is very accurate. We are mainly using it for scoring litho jobs, but we can also score digitally printed jobs.

It can handle 400gsm card that is laminated on both sides, and it operates at a rate of 7,000 sheets per hour using a
bottom-feed suction system for continuous production.

Although it hasn’t won us any new work yet, we are putting larger-format jobs through it, which wasn’t possible on the old A3 model. It certainly represents value for money for the features it offers.
