Seattle Bindery — Trade Binderies in a Bind?

The biggest surprise, though, has been the noise—or rather, the lack of it.

"We all know how noisy postpress equipment can be," explains Vine. "In fact, I even bought a phone booth to put on the floor, so people could make calls without screaming. It's no longer necessary."

Initially a tabbing operation, Seattle Bindery expanded its operations to include letterpress services, such as diecutting, foil stamping, embossing and numbering. The letterpress capabilities were added to provide the company a full suite of complementary postpress services.
