FCL Graphics Adds Heidelberg Stitching Line

HARWOOD HEIGHTS, IL—March 12, 2012—FCL Graphics, a leading North American printer of marketing and direct mail materials, today announced their latest investment in a newly installed high-speed Heidelberg stitching line with six model TAS signature feeders with the Optigraf signature recognition system. The line includes a UFA coverfeeder, five stitching heads, one three-knife trimmer with 4th and 5th knife attachments for 2-up product, and a Rima counter stacker.
