Matik Inc., West Hartford, Connecticut, the exclusive North American distributor for SEI Laser, is proud to announce the first installation of the SEI Laser X-Wave Corrugated digital laser system in North America at Middlestreet Graphics in Columbus, Ohio. This milestone marks a major advancement in digital finishing for the corrugated packaging and display industry.

The SEI Laser X-Wave Corrugated is a state-of-the-art laser cutting and creasing solution designed for large-format corrugated sheets up to 63 inches x 96 inches, including B/C flute board. With its high-speed, continuous feed, non-contact laser technology, the X-Wave delivers unmatched precision, flexibility and production efficiency—eliminating the need for multiple slower knife cutting plotters.

Key features of the SEI Laser X-Wave Corrugated include:

• Digital Workflow: Seamless transition from PDF to finished display, enabling faster speed to market and reduced setup time.
• High-Speed Laser Processing: Precision cutting and creasing at production-level speeds.
• Continuous Feed: Featuring integrated auto-load and unload capability.
• Large Format Capability: Supports sheets up to 63 inches x 96 inches, ideal for packaging, POP displays and short-run customization.
