Who We Are

Empowering manufacturers for over sixty years

Spartanics does not make the end product — we make the machines that make it better. From pressure-sensitive labels and decals to driver's licences, gift cards and licence plates, our cutting, counting and printing platforms have raised throughput and lowered unit cost for converters worldwide.

Every system is engineered, assembled and run-tested at our Rolling Meadows, Illinois facility. Before a machine ships, your material is processed on our own equipment so cut quality, registration tolerance and speed are proven — not promised.

Spartanics core technologies

Spartanics CS2100 modular roll-to-roll laser converting system

Flagship Platform

CS2100 modular converting system

Configure the line you actually need: laser die cutting, inkjet printing, lamination, slitting, sheeting and inspection built onto one servo-driven chassis. Modules can be added as your order book grows.

  • Roll-to-roll, roll-to-sheet and roll-to-part configurations
  • Camera-based optical registration for pre-printed webs
  • Recipe-driven job changeover in minutes, not shifts

Laser Die Cutting

No tooling. No plates. No limits on shape.

Laser die cutting is the proven alternative to rotary dies and platen presses for short and medium runs. With spot sizes down to 0.004 in (0.1 mm), kiss-cuts, micro-perforations, intricate contours and variable shapes all run from the same digital file.

  • Zero die spend, zero die storage, zero plate wait
  • Clean sealed edges on PET, PVC, PC and paper laminates
  • Instant shape changes for versioned and seasonal SKUs

Digital & Screen Printing

Print technology that scales with demand

Best-in-class inkjet printing and large-format screen printing equipment for decorative, functional and security applications — from durable membrane-switch graphics to full-colour label decoration.

  • Single-pass inkjet for variable data and short-run colour
  • Large-format screen printing for heavy ink deposits
  • Integrated curing, registration and web tension control

Heavy Duty Finishing

Mechanical precision for high-volume production

When volume and repeatability rule, mechanical platforms still win. Spartanics die cutting presses, hot stamping machines, optical registration shears and card counters deliver tonnes of controlled force with micron-level registration.

  • Mechanical die cutting presses for cards, decals and gaskets
  • Hot stamping machines for foil, holograms and tactile effects
  • M255 optical registration shear for print-to-cut accuracy
  • Card & stack counters that verify up to 500 cards in 5 seconds

Buyer Questions

What overseas buyers ask us first

Laser wins on short and medium runs, versioned SKUs and intricate contours because there is no die cost, no plate lead time and no die storage. Our laser systems reach spot sizes down to 0.004 in (0.1 mm), so micro-perforations, kiss-cuts and complex shapes are produced directly from the print file. For very long single-shape runs, we will tell you honestly when a mechanical press is the better economic choice.

Pressure-sensitive label stock, PET, PVC, polycarbonate, polypropylene, coated papers, laminates, membrane-switch materials, IMD/IML film and thin metallised substrates. Before quoting, we run your actual material in our Illinois demonstration facility and share the cut samples plus measured speeds.

Camera-based optical registration reads printed marks or artwork features in real time and corrects the cut path, compensating for web stretch, skew and repeat variation. The same principle drives our M255 optical registration shear for sheeted product.

Machines built in Rolling Meadows are running in more than 60 countries, supported by factory-trained engineers, regional service partners, remote diagnostics and a stocked spare-parts programme. Operator and maintenance training is delivered during commissioning and can be refreshed remotely.

Yes. Platforms such as the CS2100 are modular by design: printing, laser cutting, lamination, slitting, sheeting and inspection modules can be added later, so capital is staged against real demand instead of forecasts.
