Formax Atlas C150 Automatic Creaser/Perforator
The Formax Atlas C150 is an automatic paper creaser and digital print creaser perforator built for shops that finish toner-based and offset stock without cracking. It creases and perforates in a single pass using programmable, repeatable multi-position setups, so an operator sets the job once and runs it again exactly the same way. By creasing before the fold, the C150 stops toner cracking on digitally printed covers, brochures, and folded pieces, and its inline rotary perforation handles NCR perforating and multi-perf form work that would otherwise take a second machine or a second pass.
Mid-State Litho is an authorized Formax dealer serving Michigan and the greater Great Lakes region. We are family-owned and have supported print and bindery shops since 1984, and we deliver, install, train your operators on, and service the Atlas C150 with our own factory-trained technicians. Ask us about financing and leasing to spread the investment across the equipment's working life.

Product Overview
The Atlas C150 is engineered to remove two common headaches in digital print finishing: toner cracking on scored stock and slow, multi-pass manual workflows. Automated setup and precision top-vacuum feeding let operators process jobs with minimal adjustment, which makes it a natural fit for short digital runs and repeat production alike.
With optional perforation and creasing kits, the C150 also handles more complex applications such as multi-perf NCR forms, book covers, and specialty folding jobs. Its compact footprint and rugged construction suit both growing print shops and established production bindery floors.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Atlas C150 prevent toner cracking on digital prints?
Yes. It creases the sheet before folding, so the toner layer bends over a formed crease instead of splitting. That is the main reason shops add a dedicated creaser for digital and toner-based work.
What can the Atlas C150 crease and perforate?
Digital and offset stock from 75 to 400 gsm, plus NCR form sets. Creasing and inline rotary perforation run together in programmable multi-position setups, up to 30 creases per sheet.
Is setup automated?
Yes. Jobs are programmed from the touchscreen and stored with position memory, so a recurring job recalls its exact settings and runs repeatably without manual re-setup.
Does Mid-State Litho deliver, install, and service the Atlas C150?
Yes. Our factory-trained technicians handle delivery, installation, operator training, and ongoing service across Michigan and the Great Lakes region.
Can I finance the Atlas C150?
Yes. Financing and leasing are available - see our financing and leasing page or contact us for terms.
