As every other facet of print production, the finishing department has been incredibly impacted by modern technology. Cutters now include joggers that create a solid block of printed sheets, to be trimmed exactly on the marks from first sheet to last. Folders and stitchers run at speeds over 10,000 booklets per hour. And cartons are shrink-wrapped and secured for shipping, whether it be for local delivery, bulk carrier or freight forwarders with international customs services.
But to be sure, all of this technology would be moot if not for the absolute finest craftsmen in the industry.
Crossovers, folds on the money, finish bindings, delivery details and schedules are all strictly observed and expertly executed on a daily basis.
