Adhesive Binders — Perfect Fit

Actually, the current business climate has led printers of all types to expand their in-house binding services in order to reduce costs and improve turnaround time, says Si Nguyen, regional sales manager for Duplo USA in Santa Ana, CA. The trend has been for printers to account for more of the equipment buying than trade binders, he says. "We see a mix of printers replacing old equipment with machines that offer more automation and efficiency, as well as shops acquiring binding equipment for the first time," Nguyen reports.
