The Safe Hands of Our Print Finishers

The majority of work we print is finished in house. For certain more specialised work (such as laminating, perfect binding or foil blocking) we work with our established partners who provide a standard of service we trust.

We cut with two programmable guillotines. We have two folders (one for larger sheet work, the other for A3 to A4 or A4 to A5 or third A4). After folding many documents are automatically collated, stitched and trimmed on our 6 station Muller Martini. For NCR and other collation work we have an 8 station suction collator. Board covers are creased or perforated on our electronic scorer. For calendars we have 2 automatic punch machines.

Just some of the kit we use on a daily basis to see your job to the finishing line! (For some customers the 'finishing line' is packing and posting the job to their mailing list - please take a look at our Mailing Service).
