Rickard Bindery packs a powerful punch in its specialty areas. Half of its 80,000-square-foot building is dedicated to folding paper. The company boasts more than 65 folding machines and is capable of folding sheets as large as 80˝ or panels as small as 7⁄16˝. The company's five full-size saddle-stitching lines can stitch miniature products, oversized products (up to a 19˝ drop) and complicated products requiring up to 12 pockets. In addition, the company has 18 gluing machines.
