Digital Bookline Will Help Courier Produce Hardcover Books in Short Print Run Lengths

NORTH CHELMSFORD, MA—By purchasing a new Diamant MC Digital bookline from Muller Martini at drupa, Courier Corp. can now produce short-run, hardcover books. Courier prints digital products here under the brand name Courier Digital Solutions (CDS), which predominately manufactures textbooks for schools and universities, as well as specialty trade books.

Courier has had a Diamant bookline in operation for six years at a different site and had recently purchased a second machine, making this Diamant its third. “Courier and Muller Martini not only have a strong long-term partnership; we also have the same goals when it comes to production processes,” says Joseph Brennan, vice president of engineering at Courier, explaining the reasons behind this most recent investment.

“In addition, the Diamant enables us to offer our customers high-quality hardcover books equivalent in every way to books produced in our offset plants.”
