Finishing — Caught in a Bind?

Rilecart of America is also addressing the call for mechanical binding systems as opposed to traditional wire stitching and glue binding process. Dr. Cesare Sassi, president of Rilecart, feels the double loop wire binding system has experienced maximum growth, especially for calendars.

"The increased use of double loop wire in the production of calendars is primarily due to aesthetic reasons," Sassi exclaims. "In the production of books, the increased success is also due to the high production speed of the system."
