Manual

Space Efficient Printing Plate Storage. BCM manual Printing Plate Storages are the ideal solution for facilities requiring high storage capacity. Racks can be installed near the printing machine for high-frequency orders or in centralized storage areas for less frequent use

• Fully customizable modular designs.
• A wide range of profile types available.
• Securely stores printing plates by hanging them.
• Multi-level storage systems with staircase access to upper levels.
• Durable and robust rack system.
• Extensive range of storage profiles to meet diverse requirements to meet every need.
• Optimize the balance between storage capacity and operator comfort by selecting the appropriate profile for your printing plates.
• Available with 8, 12, 15, 18, or 21 hooks per profile.
• The type of stereo profile required depends on the space needed for each printing plate. Factors such as printing plate design, backing material, and other specifics determine the ideal setup. BCM offers tailored solutions to match your needs.

BCM Work and Time Saving Solutions

BCM Mobilator for Rotary & Flat Dies

The BCM Mobilator for Rotary Dies offers multiple variations tailored to machine type and die cutter design. Each Mobilator makes cutting dies virtually weightless, eliminating the need for heavy lifting by operators.
