What's Your Best Bet In The Bindery?

Because of their high speeds and low per-unit costs, saddle stitchers have always been a logical choice for in-plants producing internal communication documents, where speed and cost are issues, according to Bill Francis, director of Trade Sales for James Burn International (JBI).

"Saddle stitching is affordable and plentiful, and most in-plants have in-line capability to produce saddle stitched documents quickly and inexpensively," he explains. "The downside comes in when producing a presentation item using high-end color, because the staples just don't add the "pop" that the piece needs to get noticed."
