Sorting It Out With Collators

One of those departments is the theater department, which recently launched a summer series of programs called "Starlight Theatre," he says. Each of the department's four summer productions requires a 44-page, 8-1⁄2x5-1⁄2˝, saddle-stitched program.

"Each production requires 10,000 books, so that's 40,000 program booklets we have to produce during the course of the summer," McCollum continues. "To produce that type of volume in the summer, in a really short period of time, we've invested in a new press, a Heidelberg GTO two-color perfecting unit. And, of course, our collator is a piece of equipment that's instrumental, as well."
