"If we can get the prices down and improve turnaround, mechanical binding will become more competitive and will grow even more. A lot of people would rather have their books mechanically bound—but they don't want to spend the money."

The future remains bright for Great Lakes Bindery. Landheer says that he does not fear the loss of trade binderies, despite the move by many printers to move more and more bindery functions in-house.
