Precision Machining for Printing & Packaging Equipment
CNC machining for packaging equipment and printing machinery, backed by experience with precision parts and assemblies. Work with Marathon Precision in Wheeling, Illinois, to discuss your next component, replacement part, or manufacturing project.
Parts that support your production
From a single component to an assembly
Printing and packaging machinery depends on components that fit, align, and work together. Dimensions, surface finishes, material selection, and mating features all matter when a part goes into a production machine.
Marathon Precision manufactures high-precision parts and assemblies for the printing industry. We bring that experience to discussions with printing, converting, and packaging equipment manufacturers seeking a machining partner for their next project.
Applications to discuss
Support across the equipment lifecycle
Bring us component requirements for new equipment, existing machinery, or an updated design. Each application is reviewed for feasibility and fit with our capabilities.
Printing Equipment Components
Discuss machined components and assemblies for printing equipment, with attention to fit, alignment, and your drawing requirements.
Converting & Finishing
Submit requirements for components used in paper handling, envelope machinery, and related converting or finishing equipment.
Packaging Machinery
Ask us to review brackets, plates, shafts, housings, and other machined parts for your packaging machinery application.
Machining services for your part geometry
A project may call for milled features, turned diameters, precision-ground surfaces, or multiple operations. We review the drawing and discuss the appropriate process for the part.
- CNC milling: pockets, profiles, holes, and machined faces.
- CNC turning: rotational parts and diameter-based features.
- Grinding and EDM: discuss finish, geometry, and tolerance needs.
- Parts and assemblies: components that need to work together.
Parts to submit for review
- Precision plates, brackets, and mounting components
- Shafts, spacers, bushings, and sleeves
- Housings, blocks, and machine components
- Replacement parts made to supplied drawings
- Parts and assemblies for equipment projects
Material, dimensions, tolerances, and quantities are evaluated for each request.
A clear path from requirements to quotation
Tell Us What You Need
Share a non-confidential summary, part identifiers, quantity, material, and target delivery date.
Review Technical Details
We discuss critical features, finishes, and inspection or documentation needs relevant to the quote.
Confirm the Scope
Our team prepares pricing or requests clarification. Lead time and production requirements are confirmed for the specific order.
What to include in your RFQ
Part & production details
- Part name, number, and drawing revision
- Quantity and anticipated repeat demand
- Material grade and finish requirements
- Critical dimensions and tolerances
- Target delivery date and assembly scope
Drawings & documentation
Let us know whether you have PDF drawings, STEP/STP or IGES/IGS models, DXF/DWG drawings, or STL files. Our team will confirm compatibility and the appropriate transfer method.
Drawing uploads are currently disabled. Do not submit confidential drawings, ITAR-controlled data, CUI, or restricted technical information through the website form. Request an approved transfer method.
Marathon project examples
Printing, paper conversion & packaging parts
Marathon’s published project portfolio includes paper-conversion assemblies and packaging components. These examples show the types of work to discuss with our team; your drawing, material, and inspection requirements define the scope of each new project.
Printing and envelope-converting components
Marathon’s envelope-machine capabilities include print-cylinder assemblies, window and side-seam gummers, size-change parts, change gears, couplings, and bearing housings. Explore envelope machine parts and print cylinders for more detail.
Confirm current machine compatibility, material options, tolerances, and lead times with Marathon’s sales and engineering team before placing an order.
Printing & packaging machining questions
Can you review replacement parts for existing machinery?
Start with the part identifier, available drawings, quantity, and intended use. Our team will review whether we can manufacture the component to the supplied requirements. Feasibility is confirmed before quotation.
Can you quote individual parts and assemblies?
Marathon Precision manufactures parts and assemblies for the printing industry. Tell us which components are required and what the assembly scope includes so we can review the project.
What materials and tolerances can you support?
These depend on geometry, dimensions, process, and inspection requirements. Include the material grade and critical tolerances in your RFQ so we can confirm suitability.
How quickly can I receive parts?
Lead time depends on material availability, quantity, process steps, and current scheduling. Include your target delivery date; our team will confirm a project-specific schedule.
Have a printing or packaging component to quote?
Tell us what your equipment needs. We’ll review the project and discuss the next steps.
