It is our goal to offer systems and services which are tailored to the needs of the customer and ensure optimum production processes. Here we orient ourselves on three central criteria:
Functionality: We gear our services (development, mainte-nance/service) to the customer benefit. Thanks to the expe-rience of our employees and the know-how which we have developed with innovations, we can cover all functions which are important for printing and finishing labels and packaging.
Flexibility: We continuously work to optimise our machines and units. Simple organisational structures allow us to react quickly to new requirements and to guarantee short lead times.
Reliability: We see ourselves as the partners of our custo-mers and suppliers. In terms of long-term collaboration we regard reliability and value for the price to be the decisive factors.
Experience and know-how as the basis. Graficon Maschinenbau AG was established in 1992. “Customer proximity” and the consistent orientation of products and services to specific customer requirements were the first priority from the very beginning. Accordingly we have systematically expanded our product range over the years:
Digital print
The PUMA R is a digital printer (UV inkjet) with integrated processing and finishing options. The PUMA iR and PUMA iT can also be integrated in existing printing machines.
Processing / Converting / Finishing and Accessories

Graficon‘s components cover a broad spectrum of print, processing and finishing technologies for the labelling and packaging industry. Sheet cutters, booklet solutions, digital print, screen-printing units and accessories all flow into solutions for expanding and complementing your existing machinery.
Graficon components
PUMA iT / PUMA iR
The digital printer can be integrated in a Graficon T200 or Gallus T180 / T200 label printing machine as well as in a RPS220, Gallus R160 or R200 rotary machine.
The PUMA iT / iR is a low-cost, entry-level digital print solution. It lets you enjoy the tried-and-tested technology of your existing machinery and the advantages of digital print. You can continue using your existing tools. This combination enables you to print, finish and process labels all inline.

Booklet unit for Gallus R160/R200
The booklet section from Graficon can be integrated in a label-printing machine type Gallus R160 or R200. The pre-fabricated booklets (printed and folded) will be dispensed inline onto the web, which is printed in the machine, and over-laminated, or as an option glued. In the rotary die-cut-ting unit (usually existing) they will be die-cut, the matrix will be removed and the final product rewound.

The sheeting machine is used to cut single labels or sheets from reels. A printed or a non-printed substrate from reels can be cut into sheets lengthwise and/or crosswise. Length-cutting is done by pneumatically operated crush-knives. Cross-cutting is done by upper and lower knives.
The cutted sheets fall on a conveyor belt of approx. 1.5 meters. The number of sheets per pile can be preselected. After having reached the number of sheets the web advances time controlled.

Flower™
The Flower provides a constant print supply setting for all cylinder sizes. The settings only have to be adjusted if the thickness of the material changes.
Easy Bamby™
Like the Bamby, this is a DelamRelam unit, but with more space for the operator.
REVO Digital Flexo Revolution
Makes Flexo print as easy as digital print. Larger ink container with 7 colours (CMYK + orange, green and violet), requires no ink and anilox roll change.
Snow Ball™
The revolutionary waste matrix removal system provides high machine speeds, even for difficult matrix shapes (30% to 200% increase in productivity)
Bamby™
The DelamRelam unit reduces creases and incorrect tension effects caused by varying label and liner tensions. Removing difficult matrix becomes easier.
Organizer™
The lifting system provides operators with simple handling and magnet cylinder storage.
V-Flower
The V-Flower facilitates the automatic change of the sleeve cylinder and therefore a change of order whilst the machine is running.
