Saddle Stitching Machines — Saddling the Right Machine

Speed was also a factor in Omaha Print's decision to purchase a 10-pocket Heidelberg ST 400 shaftless drive saddle stitcher with cover feeder, ink-jet capability, auto stacker and auto preset capabilities throughout the finishing line, according to Gary Smith, Omaha Print COO.

Its purchase is part of an ongoing equipment upgrade to improve the Omaha, NE-based company's capabilities and efficiencies, while lowering operating costs. Omaha's motto is: Get there. Faster. So, getting its bindery up to speed was of particular importance if the $15 million operation was going to fulfill that motto.
