This Heidelberg SBD is a die cutter — sometimes referred to as a die-cutting press or platen press — a type of machine used in the printing and packaging industry to cut, crease, and score sheet materials such as paper, board, and card into precise shapes for folding cartons, labels, and other packaging forms. Heidelberg is a well-established German manufacturer with a long history of producing high-quality equipment for the commercial printing and finishing industries.
This particular machine dates from 1970 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Germany. It carries machine number 35806 and is configured for a maximum sheet format of 64 × 90, placing it in the larger end of the format range commonly used for commercial packaging and print finishing work.
A notable feature of this machine is the inclusion of a Steuer hot foil stamping system, which extends its capabilities beyond straight die cutting to encompass foil blocking — the application of metallic or pigmented foil to a substrate under heat and pressure, commonly used to add decorative or functional finishes to packaging and printed materials. The machine is described as fully automatic, meaning sheet feeding and delivery are handled mechanically rather than requiring manual intervention at each cycle. Speed control is fitted, allowing the operator to adjust the running speed to suit the material being processed or the complexity of the job. Central lubrication is also installed, simplifying routine maintenance by delivering lubricant to the machine's key points from a single system rather than requiring individual manual greasing of each component.
