Bindagraphics — Build It And They Will Come

"We do the binding, finishing, mailing and distribution—all under one roof," says Anson. "And we do it faster than the other guys."

Those "other guys" might be competing trade binderies or even the printers themselves. According to Anson, other trade houses don't have the capacity or capabilities to be one-stop shops. And printers are "either too damn busy to do the work themselves, even if they have an in-house bindery; they don't have the proper equipment to do the work; or they lack the technical expertise, for example, to complete a complicated folding job," Anson explains, noting that there's one other reason Bindagraphics gets so much work from printers. "They're often so late on a job, they have to outsource it to a bindery."
