Keeping Binding 'In The Fold'

With equipment such as Muller-Martini 0300 and 0400 model saddle-stitchers, and Kolbus perfect binders, LDS can bind the majority of its products in-house.

The Church has always strived to be self-sufficient, Sedgwick says, which is why an in-house book bindery was a necessity.

"We can definitely control our own destiny when it comes to printing, by doing virtually all binding in-house," he adds. Cost savings and quality are other issues cited by the Church for maintaining an in-house book bindery.
