UBS Printing Group -- Forging New Paths

Hamrick also claims to be the only commercial printer doing "stay-flat" book binding. The printer developed a "stay-flat" book binding process that attaches a paper-reinforced open-back spine, which allows books to lie open for ease of use. UBS obtained a Wohlenberg perfect binder and Ashdown, a printing veteran of more than 25 years, tweaked it to perform UBS' binding process. "We did things that the perfect binder manufacturer said couldn't be done on its machine," Hamrick points out. "They're asking us how we did it."
