Bindery & Finishing Services

Collating is the process of gathering individual sheets and other elements of your printing project and assembling those elements into a final product.

Copiers can collate automatically, but did you know that we can quickly and efficiently collate other items, too? Our high-speed collating equipment can bring together all the elements of your project, saving you the time it would take to hand-collate the project. The next time you have a big project that requires collating, keep us in mind - we make it so easy, you'll never want to hand-collate again.

When you need high-speed folding, you've come to the right place. Our bindery/finishing department provides many different options for folding. Our high-speed folding machines can fold at speeds exceeding 5,000 sheets per hour. Many different folding formats are available, and for more unique folding jobs, we also offer several hand-folding options.

We can provide unlimited quantities of folded materials for your special printed projects.

It sounds a little funny, but we're experts at drilling holes. We have powerful hydraulic paper drilling machines that feature many different sizes of paper drills and enable us to position the hole just about anywhere on the sheet of paper. Just remember to allow 1/2 an inch of extra margin for three-hole drilling along the side of the sheet of paper.

Here's an interesting note: Did you know studies have shown that people tend to save printed items longer if they are three-hole drilled? Marketing experts think that subconsciously we tend to feel like we need to put a three-hole drilled sheet into a ring binder or save it for future reference.

Simply put, laminating prolongs the life of your printed projects. How?

Did you know that in the world of binding, the term "stitching" actually refers to a technique very similar to stapling? The main distinction lies in the specific scenarios in which each method is utilized. Generally, when you are attempting to securely fasten a relatively small stack of papers, up to around 40 pages, stapling is the preferred choice. In contrast, stitching, as an alternative, comes into play for larger-scale projects that demand a stronger and more durable join. For this latter operation, heavy-duty, floor-mounted machinery is typically employed, showcasing the industrial nature of the process. Here at our esteemed printing establishment, we boast an impressive array of both stapling and stitching machines, each capable of effortlessly handling and putting together any kind of book or printed material you require, no matter the complexity or size.
