Book/Booklet Binders — Fast and Easy, Rules

Vivian Sassi, vice president of American Binding, sees a trend toward more economical, semi-automatic machines, along with a tendency toward integration for fully automatic units. She feels customers are interested in customizing the desired equipment to be fully integrated and working in-line.

"After many years of increasing market shares for mechanical binding, customers are turning to glue binding," Sassi states. She adds that American Binding is showcasing an integrated collator/glue binding machine at the TPG show in Paris.
