Efficiency and labor costs are always a top priority in the print finishing industry. In this short video demonstration Paul Kuchta, a 40+ year veteran in the finishing industry, describes the features and benefits that can maximize productivity and greatly reduce labor using MBO's flagship buckle folder, the T800.1, and the Cobo-Stack automatic palletizer.

Automating a process involves removing steps and manual touches. This short video studies the production of a diecut direct mail piece in a single step, previously done in three. The single step process not only reduces handling and number of people, but the turnaround time shortened by a factor of three, making high conversion direct mail products like this, perfect for today’s demanding customers.

The MBO CoBo-Stack is a completely automatic collaborative robot which stacks folded signatures in nearly any pattern, on a pallet. The cobot reduces the physical demands of the operator and eliminates stacker help labor. It can even make it possible to have 1 operator running 2 machines in a true manufacturing cell. U.S. Patent No. 10,968,056

Eye-catching web coating enhancement can help your printed products stand out by making them more durable, more elegant or guiding the reader’s attention.

Johnson & Quin is now using three SCREEN continuous-feed inkjet presses coupled with a pair of MBO modular near-line finishing systems.

Bograma expands the BSR family of rotary diecutters to include a configuration specifically designed for folding carton production. This system, based on the successful BSR 550 Rotary Diecutter, includes two double cylinder diecutting stations. This allows a traditional two-step scoring/cutting method. Print to cut, and print to score registration is impeccable, setup is very fast, and stripping is inline, making it perfect for our new printing and packaging model. See more…
