Bindery 1 Inc. — Finishing’s First Family

Added Flexibility

It can handle a wide variety of book formats, including soft cover specialty binding, and features a specialty face knife unit (VSS trimmer) allowing for a single pass gate-fold process providing the ability to recess the book face prior to cover placement.

“No one in the Midwest was able to accommodate all of the needs of customers for perfect binding,” John Toporek assesses. “Our new Wohlenberg machine will produce standard hot melt, PUR bind, lay-flat binding, Swiss brochures and Euro brochures. We even put a specialty second trimmer on for gate covers, where you can have your face undersized from the foldout—not to mention that we will do books as thin as 1⁄16 ˝ to 27⁄16 ˝ and books as big as tabloids. As with any piece of equipment we buy, we looked at the diversity that we can bring to the market.”
