Cover to Cover

What the next few years will bring is important, but how companies survive in the now is equally significant.

Today, the market is demanding more innovative, smaller and extremely automated finishing systems that can efficiently handle short and ultra-short runs of products from CD covers to photo books, while matching print production speeds, Tressler said. These systems also must be able to handle variable-data output, delicate color digital inks and toners printed on coated papers. Virtually all of C.P. Bourg's current in-line and near-line finishing products fit this description, with the Bourg BME stitch-fold-trim Booklet Maker, Bourg Sheet Feeder and Bourg BB3002 PUR single-clamp perfect binder as the latest examples.
