The Shark SMC-13 Creaser & Perforator is a compact, tabletop finishing machine built for precision creasing and perforating of digital print output. Designed for handfed operation, it supports stock sizes up to 13.38" x 118" and handles paper weights from 60gsm to 400gsm. This machine is capable of performing up to 16 creases or perforations per sheet at speeds of up to 3,000 sheets per hour, making it well-suited for short-run production environments that require flexibility and accuracy.
The SMC-13 features a user-friendly LCD touchscreen for easy job setup, along with 32 programmable job memories to support repeat workflows. Built-in tools such as the sheet length detector, sheet counter, skew adjustment, and variable speed control help reduce manual errors and increase throughput. The adjustable crease depth and included dies allow operators to customize the finish while avoiding common issues like cracking on digitally printed stock. Safety features include an emergency stop button for added operator protection.
With a creasing precision of 0.002" and low maintenance requirements, the SMC-13 delivers consistent, professional results typically expected from higher-end systems—without the larger footprint or cost. Its lightweight design (101 lbs) and manual feed setup make it easy to place in virtually any production space.
We recommend the Shark SMC-13 to print shops and production facilities with limited space that want to expand their digital print finishing capabilities. We want you completely satisfied with your purchase, which is why we include our Saddle Point Systems One Year Local Warranty for all Bay Area customers.

Our San Francisco Bay Area customers can extend their service coverage to two years by purchasing our Saddle Point Systems Extended Performance Guarantee for their SMC-13 for $650. In other words, you're paying for a one year service agreement and getting two years of complete coverage. Like our One Year SPS Warranty, our performance guarantee covers the cost of all parts, labor, travel time, on-site repair and, if requested, an annual preventative maintenance check to ensure your creasing machine is running optimally. Simply give us a call and one of our technicians will come to your company, usually by the next business day, and service your machine at no additional charge.
After purchasing the Extended Annual Performance Guarantee, we'll e-mail you our Shark SMC-13 Service Agreement PDF for you to fill out. Then, either e-mail us a signed copy or mail us a signed hard copy to put the agreement in force. Annual service agreements must be purchased within 30 days of the original invoice date of your machine and are not valid unless signed and on file with us.
