We are increasingly seeing more “bindery” uses for large format printed material on books, portfolios and boxes!  With very few exceptions, this material is reasonably easy to work with…to die cut, glue, form or sew.  This printed material gives designers a greater range of ideas; the finished product is very distinguishable from simple foil stamped or debossed products, it is…

This weeks’ eblast is about “one station pull tabs.”  This style comes in endless sizes, a wide range of stock weights, quantities from hundreds to hundreds of thousands…lots and lots of room for creative design!  We produce this product automatically.  This is a product that requires customer involvement resulting in intrigue, and memory of product or service advertised.  “One station…

Chocolate Bottom Box These chocolate boxes as far as box folding style is concerned are called “Hymes” or “Loc bottom.”  I have reviewed “Hymes” bottom boxes in a previous video, but I’m showing this piece because of the highly unusual “top”!  Like all “Hymes” bottomed boxes, these pieces are die-cut, and box folded automatically.  These chocolate boxes are only different…

I’m highlighting this piece for 3 reasons… This piece is corrugated.

This product is called a card slider.  You will notice that after opening the 4-page piece, that you can easily pull out a card.  The card has a debossed portion that fits a gift card or anything similar.  We are able to die cut, fold and glue this product automatically!  Yes, sizes can vary. There can be more panels.  We…

This is a promotional piece that we have made several hundred of.  Our name appears nowhere in this book!  It is meant to be a sales tool for you.  Picture #1 is the overall view of the front cover. Picture #2 shows some intricate foil stamping that we can do in any colour.  In addition there is a deep deboss…

As I mentioned in this video, this process or product is called a “bindery hanger”.  A saddle-stitched booklet or a multiple panel folder that needs to be bound into a perfect-bound book needs to have a “stub” of blank “card stock” tipped to one edge, leaving a half-inch portion extending. The perfect binding machine grinds and glues the “stub” as…
