GRAPH EXPO 2006: Binding & Finishing — Binding Agreements

Among the items showcased by Standard Finishing Systems and Horizon International: The SB-07 seven-clamp perfect binder; the SPF/FC-200A fully automated saddlestitcher; and the ColorWorks 5000 bookletmaker for in-line operation with Xerox DocuColor 5000 digital presses.

A company that is as overwhelmingly large as Heidelberg USA cannot focus on any one area—Ralph Pasquariello, vice president of postpress, said it would’ve taken 100,000 square feet of show floor space just to support Heidelberg’s back end platform. Interestingly, though, a company with Heidelberg’s pedigree is making inroads into new product territory with its diecutters, which attracted a lot of attention from the package printing set.
