Spiel Associates recently held its annual fall open house, where manufacturer reps from Graphic Whizard, Drylam, and MBM showed off their new wares. Featured were the new MBM Aerocut slitter, cutter and creaser, the new Drylam Fujipla ALM3220 single- and double-sided laminator, and two Graphic Whizard creasers and UV coater.
