We take pride in customer care and product quality. Our Shear-line machine design has matured over the years and has become the number one selling flatbed roller press Die-Cutter machines because of its operational qualities and reliability provided by no other manufacturers.

See our developments over the years below

 

Shear-line Development (1986)

In 1986 U-Pack developed the Shear-line to be 50% faster than ordinary roller press machines.

Company growth (1988)

After the successful design of U-Packs Shear-line machine the company increased production with world wide orders.

Shear-line Automation (1989)

In 1989 U-Pack developed an additional model to the Shear-line family by integrating automated reciprocal action.

Further Development (1992)

In 1992 we developed and patented the World’s first reciprocal sinusoidal action gearbox.

T-Series & Frontier

We had another Worlds first, our T-Series fully automatic die-cutter development with its polypropylene soft anvil sleeve. The T-Series was later further improved and became the Frontier which is today operating in 22 countries.

Sleeve change

We designed a very quick sleeve change mechanism for the Frontier which could be carried out with minimum downtime.

Print technology

Some time later we looked at idea’s for a printer to put inline with the Frontier. After several months we had considered & rejected all the tradition methods of printing. Then through a chance conversation an idea had formed for a all new printing method. We went on to design the World’s 1st wide format – fixed head – full color – high speed Ink Jet Printer.
