Morico develops, manufactures, and sells automatic stamping machines and packaging related machinery that are needed in various areas of the economy. 

We strongly support on-site automation and efficiency of businesses in a wide range of industries with our unique mechanism that feeds, separates, transports, imprints, and collects materials such as postcards, envelopes, labels, films, plastic bags, and cartons.

Our products range from a coding machine that imprints expiration date and lot number on food packages, GS1 data bar laser marking system for pharmaceuticals cartons, to an automatic leaflet inserting machine.

In response to the needs for anti-virus measures in recent years, our automatic card sanitizer that can easily remove viruses from various kinds of cards such as credit cards and hotel keycards are well received.

We also have a special product lineup for postal services. Morico developed the first model of canceling machine at the request of the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications in 1932 which revolutionized Japan’s postal service. Since then, our machines have been used as a standard canceling machine at 1,300 post offices all over Japan.

We take pride in the high quality of our products. All of our products use domestically manufactured parts and are assembled at our own factory in Japan.

●Core Technology “Separating System”

Morico’s original "reverse separation method" enables a large quantities of mail items of various sizes and thicknesses to be separated and stamped accurately and speedily.

Based on this core technology, we have mastered research and development, evolved it year by year, and developed many new products.
