Scodix recently launched the Ultra 7000 SHD as ‘world first-of-its-kind’ press to embellish signage graphics and many other rigid and corrugated substrates. The system is widely recognised as a world leader in digital embellishments, including foil, varnish, and 3D embossing, all from a single platform. At the newly introduced ‘Corrugated’ section of the just concluded FESPA 2026 Barcelona, Scodix has announced the first sale of its groundbreaking Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD press to Simeoni Arti Grafiche, the Italian printing pioneer. The landmark deal, facilitated through Scodix’s strategic distribution partner HEIDELBERG Italy, marks the official market entry of the world’s first digital embellishment solution designed specifically for rigid, corrugated substrates as well as signage materials.
Italian printing company Simeoni Arti Grafiche is a long-standing Scodix partner, having first invested in Scodix technology nearly a decade ago. In a definitive vote of trust in Scodix’s innovation and reliability, the Italian printing pioneer will add the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD to its existing print offering as a second, dedicated powerhouse to drive new growth. The company will utilize the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD to unlock new creative possibilities in the Signage & Display and High-End Packaging sectors. While the new press is also designed to handle corrugated media, Simeoni’s strategic focus will center on the “premiumization” of rigid materials and complex textured substrates, including Dibond, acrylic, Forex, and foam board.
