Saddle Stitching Machines — Saddling the Right Machine

For short-run publication printer Cummings Printing, in Hooksett, NH, a 10 percent annual growth rate required it to update its bindery in order to keep up with customer demand.

The company installed a Best Osako 10-cover pocket folder feeder from Best Graphics.

"We were looking for a faster machine," notes Jack Cummings, president. "Our clients are requiring increasingly larger page counts. The most important capability we were looking for in a saddle stitcher was ease of use by the operator. We wanted something that didn't require a big learning curve for our operators," he adds.
