Scodix, the global leader in digital print embellishment, has announced the launch of the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD. This first-of-its-kind digital embellishment press is engineered specifically for rigid and corrugated substrates, marking the first time the market can apply high-definition tactile finishes directly to heavy-duty media.
The launch of the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD marks a strategic expansion into the Signage & Display and Corrugated Packaging sectors for Scodix. This new capability allows printers and converters to apply premium tactile effects to a diverse range of substrates, including Dibond, acrylic, Forex, foam board, corrugated board, and more. The U7000 SHD is also compatible with all current Scodix-supported substrates, including coated and uncoated sheets of diverse media weights. This flexibility allows printers and converters to expand their service offerings, access new markets, and increase profit margins through high-value digital print embellishment.
As brands increasingly demand “premiumization” to stand out in crowded retail environments, the need for tactile, high-impact finishes has never been greater. Until now, embellishing rigid materials was almost impossible and extremely labour-intensive. The Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD eliminates those barriers, offering:
- High-Value Applications: Opens new revenue streams in POS/POP displays, luxury corrugated packaging, and high-end corporate graphics.
- Sustainable Production Efficiency: Removes screen printing and metal dies from the embellishment process, minimizing setup waste while enabling agile short-run production.
Alongside the Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD, Scodix also releases a new software embellishment visualization tool that allows users to generate hyper-realistic previews of how their complex embellishments will look and feel on a finished piece. It’s a powerful sales engine for Scodix customers, replacing abstract concepts with immersive digital prototypes that make the value of premium textures and foils instantly undeniable to their clients.
“The Scodix Ultra 7000 SHD represents a definitive milestone in our mission to digitize embellishment for every segment of the print industry,” says Eli Grinberg, Scodix CEO and co-founder. “We are creating a new category by bringing our SHD embellishment technology to rigid substrates, and we are empowering printers to enter high-margin markets that were previously unreachable, proving once again that Scodix leads where others follow.”
Moti Vaknin, VP Sales for EMEA and Global Channels, adds: “The feedback from our initial pipeline has been extraordinary. Large-format producers and corrugated converters have been searching for a way to differentiate in a sea of flat colour printing. The Ultra 7000 SHD provides the ‘wow factor’ that brands crave, integrated into a digital workflow that meets the speed and agility requirements of the modern market.”

Scodix will officially unveil the Ultra 7000 SHD at ‘Corrugated’ at its Booth 3-A151 during FESPA Global Print Expo, from May 19 – 22 at the Fira de Barcelona in Spain. Attendees are invited to experience live demonstrations of the press, showcasing high-definition finishes on a variety of rigid materials.
