GBC to Rock 'Em, Sock 'Em at Graph Expo

GBC, part of ACCO Brands, is attracting attention to its Graph Expo 2011 booth (#217) using recognizable robot figureheads to introduce an evolutionary new “punch” to the marketplace: the GBC Magnapunch 2.0 tabletop paper punch.

Featuring a Rock ‘em Sock ‘em robot theme to reinforce the message “no more miss punches,” the promotional program emphasizes new features in the most accurate and reliable desktop punching power available today. GBC’s newest “smart” technology in post-press finishing is sure to deliver a “‘knock-out punch” in any production environment.

GBC says users will experience increased productivity and operator efficiency, reductions in labor costs and increased profits. The Maganapunch 2.0 virtually eliminates the dreaded production problem of mispunched documents, which creates waste, requires production make-overs, causes inefficiencies and reduces production throughput.

The GBC Magnapunch 2.0 replaces the existing electro-mechanical, heavy-duty punching equipment found in most print finishing areas and takes it "down-for-the-count” with precise digital age advancements. GBC developed this smart technology to increase users’ punching productivity through advancements in edge detection, smart setup technology, and a full-color electronic interface, which takes the guess work out of each production job and assists the operator for faster setups and changeovers.

Now, with this smart technology, document punching can keep pace with the advanced print engines on the market, making the entire printing/finishing process an efficient, profit enhancing system.

In addition, the entire GBC booth is designed to focus on customer applications and print shop solutions: print finishing solutions that transform printed materials into valuable customer applications. The booth will demonstrate how printers can evolve their businesses for increased revenue and profits. From printing to lamination, binding and booklet making, GBC uses a real customer project to demonstrate production capabilities, efficiency and ease of use as if the equipment and supplies were actually on the print shop floor. Virtually every piece of GBC equipment in the Graph Expo 2011 booth ties in together to create a multi-piece example of a print shop’s needs to satisfy even the most demanding customer requests.

To help GBC customers choose the right supplies for the customer applications, GBC will have samples to view and touch the various finishing supplies available so that show attendees can actually experience a first-hand look and feel for the many films, bindings and finishing techniques available from GBC.
