ARIES: Semi-rotary label finishing machine

Precision. Performance. Productivity. Up to 30m/min.

What is ARIES, our semi-rotary label finishing machine?


The high-performance solution for medium to industrial-scale label production — engineered for repetitive, high-volume jobs.


ARIES features a high-performance semi-rotary module with a magnetic cylinder and flexible steel dies. In a single pass, it laminates, die cuts, removes excess matrix, slits and rewinds finished label rolls — at speeds up to 30m/min.

The magnetic die plate snaps quickly and securely into place for fast changeovers. The entire module is electronically adjustable for precise offset calibration, and the 10" touchscreen provides full remote connectivity and control. ARIES handles both printed and unprinted media rolls, making it the ideal companion to digital color label printers and presses of any kind.
