FC-500VC / FC-700VC
The best in digital print finishing
Labels, stickers, packaging and prototypes — cut anything in any shape, without expensive cutting dies. The Vulcan FC-500VC and FC-700VC flatbed cutting plotters produce product labels, warning plates, short-run packaging and design samples straight from a stand-alone device.
Maximum precision in (contour) cuts and folded edges is the hallmark of Vulcan products. In addition to small to medium runs, design samples can be produced flexibly and efficiently — with Vulcan, you work economically from a single piece onwards.
