Press Machines
by Industry
Different industries have different requirements — material type, thickness, volume, and cut complexity all determine which press is right for the job. Browse by sector below.
Leather Goods & Saddlery
Belts, wallets, holsters, dog collars, saddlery, and small leather goods. Clicker presses are the standard tool for consistent, repeatable cuts from veg tan and chrome-tanned hides.
Footwear Manufacturing
Uppers, insoles, outsoles, and heel components. Australian footwear manufacturers use clicker presses to cut leather, synthetic materials, and rubber components to tight tolerances.
Automotive & Transport
Gaskets, seals, interior trim, carpet cutting, and rubber components. Automotive suppliers use hydraulic presses for high-volume cutting and forming of rubber, foam, and composite materials.
Rubber & Gasket Manufacturing
Industrial gaskets, seals, O-rings, and custom rubber components. Rubber cutting requires higher tonnage than leather — material hardness (Shore A rating) directly determines the press specification.
Foam & Upholstery
Seat cushions, padding, acoustic foam, and upholstery components. Thick foam requires significantly more tonnage than leather — large-format beam presses are the standard for this sector.
Packaging & Cardboard
Box blanks, display packaging, carton cutting, and specialty packaging. Cardboard cutting uses steel rule dies and typically requires moderate tonnage — clicker presses handle most packaging applications.
