Automation Equals Speed and Ease

"Eliminate some of the makeready adjustments for easier and faster operation, so that job-to-job turnover will happen quickly," Leonard says. "To go from a single product to a double and a triple in a fast amount of time will triple production time for the in-plant."

For some in-plants, saddle stitching is used mainly for stitching thick manuals or thick bunches of paper together. For others, however, it provides a valuable option to offer customers. Bottom line: owning a saddle stitcher aids in preventing work from being outsourced.
