Keeping Traditional Printing Presses Running: Former Nose & Board Repair

In an increasingly digital world, many companies feel pressured to upgrade their equipment to keep up with modern demands. However, for those relying on traditional printing and packaging machinery, replacing an entire press can be an enormous financial burden. The good news? You don’t have to. MGF Services & Equipment is one of the few companies that specialize in refurbishing and fabricating Former Noses & Former Boards—critical components that keep your presses running smoothly and efficiently.


What Are Former Noses & Former Boards?


Former Noses and Former Boards play a crucial role in printing, packaging, and converting equipment by ensuring proper folding during production. Over time, these components suffer from wear and tear—scratches, dents, and malformations can lead to issues such as wrinkled or creased paper, improper folds, and reduced production quality. When these problems arise, MGF Services is here to restore them to better-than-new condition.


Why Repair Instead of Replace?


MGF is the #1 supplier in North America. While we work with digital equipment, we also have the expertise to repair traditional equipment. As the industry evolves, fewer manufacturers and service providers continue to support traditional machinery, making reliable repair options harder to find.


At MGF Services, we receive damaged Former Boards and Noses frequently—components that look beyond repair. But our expert technicians restore them with precision manufacturing, advanced coatings, and protective treatments that often last twice as long as OEM parts.


The MGF Services Advantage


  • Cost Savings: Refurbishing your existing equipment is significantly more affordable than purchasing a new digital press.
  • Extended Equipment Life: Our repair services allow presses to function optimally for years to come.
  • Precision Engineering: We restore Former Noses & Boards with coatings that enhance durability, ensuring smoother operation and less maintenance.
  • Quick Turnaround: We understand downtime is costly, which is why we focus on fast, efficient service to get your equipment back in production.

  • Visible dents, scratches, or deformities on Former Noses or Boards
