TREND OFFSET PRINTING -- An Upward Trend

Both of the new presses, added within the last 12 months, are already running at near capacity. As was the case with the new plant openings, Trend Offset let its clientele guide the decision-making process.

"Every one of the equipment decisions we've done has driven higher quality standards and increased our productivity," Sweetman remarks. "The biggest impact has been at the customer level because of the the capacity we've been able to give them. For example, we have seven perfect binding lines at our three facilities. If you're a publisher with a saddle-stitched product and you want to grow revenues into a perfect-bound method, we encourage that kind of growth. Our objective is to fuel client growth in pages and circulation, and be the tool of our customers' increased revenues."
