Bindery Management — Flourishing At Finishing

There's a famous saying to the effect of, "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Whichever category trade binders think printers fall into, knowing how they think can only help.

Color Ink, in Sussex, WI could be the worse-case scenario for trade binders. Bolstered by its more than $20 million in annual sales and large customer base, the full-service printer has expanded its postpress capabilities to include specialty processes along with the standards, like folding, cutting and saddle binding. The in-house department also can handle mechanical binding (Wire-O, coil, comb) and has padding and shrink-wrapping machines.
