Rotocon to distribute Vicut digital cutting and finishing machines in South Africa

Rotocon has partnered with Chinese supplier Vicut to bring its digital cutting and finishing machines to the South African market. The collaboration was formalized in September with a visit to Rotocon’s Johannesburg facility.

Vicut’s range of includes the VL-450X (digital laminating and foiling), the VFC90 (digital flatbed DTF cutter), the FC700/500 (flatbed cutter), the CC330/220 (auto-fed card cutter), and the SC-350 (auto-fed sheet label cutter). Among these, the FC700/500 flatbed cutter offers versatile functionalities to the South African market, enabling the creation of custom packaging by cutting both shape and crease lines with high precision. This makes it suitable for small-run, niche packaging or personalized box production.

‘Vicut’s machinery is designed for the graphics industry, making it particularly suitable for smaller print shops or businesses with wide-format printers,’ said Patrick Aengenvoort, sales director at Rotocon. ‘Off-line die-cutting for applications such as vinyl printing, short-run business cards and wedding invitations—along with custom packaging and personalized box production—are just a few possibilities.’

A range of Vicut machines is available for demonstrations at Rotocon’s Johannesburg showroom. Its service technicians provide on-site training and support across South Africa.
