“Automation remained key in many decisions and our Zenith flatbed Die-cutter line was popular with those that sought to capitalize on its ability to perform automated set- ups and recall job parameters via the memory function. Paired with a Prefeeder the Zenith is capable of being a one to two operator machine, thus reducing the need for costly manpower. The Zenith series offers many features to improve production targets, reduce make ready times and enhance safety. “The Giant series of die cutters also had a great show- ing this year, with multiple orders of our industry topping 250SII large format machine that is available with an op- tional EZ feeder for full automation. The 98.4” x 66.9” was a deciding factor in many machine orders, as well as the Giants ability to run varied substrates from carton board to plastic and foam. “Young Shin die cutters have been manufactured in South Korea for over 45 years, with durability and ease of operation built into every machine. Our Die cutters often outweigh our competitors by up to 20% and are built to endure the challenges of multiple shifts, high production operations. “Young Shin also provides an industry-leading 24-month warranty on all its die cutters and takes pride in the prompt service offered by its team of skilled mainte- nance and parts technicians, with full coverage of the USA and Canada. “Young Shin USA Limited is also the exclusive North American representative of the Stock Maschinenbau GMBH brand of comprehensive in-line systems, pattern gluers, litho-laminating and labelling equipment, with the addition of the new SLOTF model, Sheetfed Laminator On- The-Fly, with electronically controlled lead edge sheet reg- istration for highest level of quality, accuracy and perfor- mance. Laminating sheets of speeds up to 10,000 sheets per hour. Sheet widths of 64.5” or 80.7”. Sheet length of 64.5” to 80.7” possible. “Stock Maschinenbau is globally recognized as a lead- er in the technology, engineering, and smooth operations of its equipment. Stock Maschinenbau offers both full and spot labelers with speeds up to 10,000 SPH featuring set up times as low as 10 minutes. The LLM HP continues to be our best-selling model with several installations in 2025, proving that the label market continues to flourish within the industry. The future of this model will boast a much-appreciated upgrade with a top sheet feeding sys- tem to improve single label feed operation and “On the Fly” registration. This will be seen on the SLL model in a 2-meter and 4-meter sheet length variation with speeds up to 6500 sheets per hour. “As we move into this new season there is optimism that 2026 will also prove to be another successful year for the group with several machine installations already scheduled for the year ahead.” Visit www.youngshinusa.com
