Finishing — Caught in a Bind?

One area Vijuk Equipment has targeted is supplying in-line folders. "We've designed a web press folder that can run in-line with web presses to produce the final product," Mattila says. "With shorter lead times comes shorter runs," he adds. "Instead of looking at the high-end speed of equipment, we're looking at midrange speeds and trying to provide those as economical as possible to the end user. We have mid-line ranges in perfect binders and we're also looking at providing it in saddle-stitchers."
