The Samed PHOTOFAST Hot Melt Gluing Machine, combined with the PHOTOFOLD Automatic Folding Unit, creates a fully integrated production line for the fast and efficient manufacture of premium-quality photo books and digital albums.

Designed to automate the entire production process, this advanced system eliminates manual handling between folding and binding stages, delivering a smooth, continuous workflow that increases productivity, improves consistency, and reduces labour costs.

Perfect for photo book manufacturers, digital print providers, professional photographers, and print finishing companies, the PHOTOFAST + PHOTOFOLD line produces beautifully finished lay-flat books with exceptional accuracy and speed.

How the System Works

The process begins with the PHOTOFOLD unit, where photo prints are automatically creased, folded, and pressed. The folded sheets are then transferred directly into the PHOTOFAST Hot Melt Gluer, creating a seamless automated workflow from start to finish.

The integrated production line can produce finished photo books at speeds of up to 25 cycles per minute, making it an ideal solution for both short-run and high-volume production environments.
