HX380 Digital Creasing Machine – Precision-Driven Performance for Book Covers & Brochures

Book covers and multi-panel brochures are among the most demanding post-press applications, requiring precise creasing to ensure clean folds, professional appearance, and long-lasting durability. Even minor inaccuracies or surface damage can diminish the value of these products, leading to customer dissatisfaction and material waste. The HX380 Digital Creasing Machine is specifically engineered to meet these high standards, combining gentle feeding, pinpoint accuracy, and efficient performance to deliver flawless results for every job—whether small-batch custom orders or large-volume production runs.

At the heart of the HX380’s performance is its automatic air-suction feed system, which is designed to handle paper stocks from 125gsm to 400gsm with utmost care. This system uses controlled suction to lift and transport sheets, eliminating friction that can scratch, smudge, or damage printed surfaces— a common issue with traditional feed mechanisms. For book covers printed with high-quality inks, coatings, or embossing, this gentle handling is essential to preserve the visual appeal and integrity of the design. The wide paper weight range also means the HX380 can transition seamlessly from thin multi-panel brochures to thick, rigid book covers without reconfiguration.

The HX380’s support for extended sheet sizes up to 330mm wide and 950mm long makes it a versatile solution for book covers of all sizes—from small paperbacks to large hardcover editions—and multi-panel brochures that require precise creases for folding into compact, professional formats. Unlike smaller creasing machines that are limited to standard sheet sizes, the HX380’s extended capacity allows for greater creativity in design, enabling printing businesses to offer a wider range of products to their customers.

User convenience is a top priority in the HX380’s design, with a 7-inch color touch screen that simplifies operation and reduces the learning curve for new operators. The intuitive interface allows users to program up to 32 creases or perforations per sheet, with ±0.2mm accuracy that ensures every crease is perfectly aligned and consistent. This level of precision is critical for book covers, where misaligned creases can cause uneven folds or even tearing, and for multi-panel brochures, where precise perforations ensure easy, clean separation of panels.

Efficiency is key for modern printing workshops, and the HX380 delivers with a maximum speed of 7,500 sheets per hour—capable of handling high-volume orders without sacrificing quality. The machine’s 32 job memory slots allow users to store frequently used settings, such as crease positions for standard book cover sizes or multi-panel brochure layouts, reducing setup time and minimizing errors when switching between jobs. Powered by a durable servo-motor drive, the HX380 operates smoothly and reliably, even during extended production runs, ensuring minimal downtime and consistent performance.

Compatible with both digital and offset printing workflows, the HX380 Digital Creasing Machine is a versatile addition to any post-press lineup. It seamlessly integrates with digital printers that produce high-quality, surface-sensitive prints, as well as offset printers that handle large-volume runs. Its ability to deliver precise, damage-free creasing and perforation, combined with its user-friendly design and efficient performance, makes the HX380 the ideal choice for printing businesses looking to elevate the quality of their book covers, multi-panel brochures, and other folded products.
