Fast-Track Firms -- On the Move

As Branch Smith was adding large-format, it was approached by an OEM customer that needed 6x9?, black-and-white books (in repeat runs of up to 20,000), which required special cutting, kitting and barcoding. To handle the project, the printer invested in a two-unit Hantscho coldset web press, as well as a high-speed perfect binder with five-knife trimmer, a banding machine, a barcoding system, a shrink wrapper and a laminator.
