Crest Clamshell Die Cutters

The Crest clamshell platen press is the most widely installed press of its kind in North America, with more than 225 machines in service across packaging, display, and converting operations. Built for speed, consistency, and minimal make-ready, Crest presses run faster than flatbed alternatives with a smaller footprint, and the only clamshell on the market with Widemouth™ technology, extending capability to thick structural materials that standard clamshells can't handle.

DCA is the exclusive sales and service representative for Crest in North America. We help customers evaluate which model fits their material requirements, production volumes, and facility constraints — and we support the press after it's on your floor.
