PLASTGrommet is the trusted name in banner and textile finishing automation. Offering solutions including automatic grommet setting, industrial welding, automatic sewing, clear recyclable and metal grommets, media roll lifters, and storage racks, PLASTGrommet helps large format print businesses increase their productivity by automating finishing. At PRINTING United Expo 2026, three new PLASTGrommet solutions will make their North American debut: Offering the same integrated welding, grommeting, and cutting capabilities as PLASTGrommet’s flagship All in One banner finishing machine, the new entry-level All in One EDGE opens up the possibilities of finishing automation to mid-volume large format printers. Built on the All in One platform, PLASTGrommet’s new TexWiz integrates a sewing module to enable automated sewing of hems along with grommeting and cutting of airmesh fabric banners.This enables hybrid finishing automation for print shops simultaneously producing PVC and textile-based banner products. PLASTGrommet will also demonstrate its multi-purpose hot air welder, the Evolve Air Welder, with a new conveyor belt that works in synchronization with the Evolve’s traction rollers to allow for easier material handling with longer welds. When it comes to large format finishing, you’re only ever as fast as your slowest point.With PLASTGrommet, that point will never be finishing.
