The KSF 6

Our newest press, the KSF 6 was developed specifically for precision branding on large plastic mouldings — a gap we kept hearing about from customers working with crates, packaging and bigger moulded components. It brings the same hand-built quality and attention to detail as the rest of the KSF range, scaled up for larger format work. As with every Metallic Elephant machine, it’s designed, engineered and assembled by hand at our Essex workshop.

Built for Mobility, Optimised for Production
The compact and lightweight KSF 6 can be easily moved and positioned directly alongside your plastic moulding machines. Operators can now apply crisp, professional foil branding during cycle wait times – maximising productivity without disrupting workflow.

Smart Features for Faster Changeovers
Equipped with an automatic foil feed system and an easy-load hot foil die mechanism, the KSF 6 enables rapid plate changes and consistent stamping results. Spend less time setting up and more time producing – with minimal training required.

Brand with Confidence, Right on Your Floor
Say goodbye to outsourcing and hello to complete control. The KSF 6 empowers you to brand your plastic crates in-house, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and on-demand customisation – all with a sleek, durable finish that enhances your brand image.

The KSF 6: Where Simplicity Meets Smart Manufacturing.
Perfect for plastic packaging, logistics crates, storage containers, and more. Upgrade your production line with a smarter way to stamp, brand, and deliver.
