Binding Store to distribute for Col-Tec

Finishing equipment distributor Binding Store has been appointed to sell collating equipment for Col-Tec.

The two companies confirmed the agreement at a Heidelberg finishing open house in Tamworth earlier this month, where Col-Tec was exhibiting a deep-pile collator.
Russell Cunningham, Binding Store managing director, said he was attracted to the machines because of their versatility. According to Cunningham, the Col-Tec gatherer can be integrated into many standalone binders to offer in-line perfect binding.
"The range fits in very well with our existing portfolio of binding machinery that we supply to trade printers and print finishers. They have the capability of feeding from the thinnest stock right up to finished perfect-bound book blocks," he added.
Binding Store is able to offer the full range on both new and refurbished collators.

Huge increase in capacity at Abbey Bookbinding following Renz investment
Adam Hooker, printweek.com, 07 August 2009

Bookbinders Abbey Bookbinding & Print has received a massive increase in its spiral binding capacity after an investment from finishing equipment supplier Binding Store.


The Cardiff-based company previously wire bound by hand and managing director Roger Cottrell said that runs of over 250 were not economically viable.

However, the company installed a Renz AP360 six months ago and a Renz Mobi 500 in July after customers repeatedly enquired about longer runs.

He said: "With the Renz binding machines we can now handle runs of up to 40,000 books, it has been paying itself off already. Over the next 12 months we will look to increase our workflow and will be advertising our service further afield than South Wales."

Cottrell added that an eighth member of staff had joined the £500,000 turnover company. Two more members of staff are expected to join in the next 12 months

Darryl Danielli, printweek.com, 22 May 2009

First Matrix 530 laminator installed

The first Matrix 530 laminator was installed on Friday 13th March. Despite Friday 13th being traditionally a day for bad luck we are pleased to say that the installation and training went without a hitch! The laminator will be used to finish work from DP graphics docucolour 2047 as well as offering a trade laminating service to local litho and digital printers. Derek Payne, MD of DP graphics stated that "There has been considerable interest from existing customers and other printers" and is even planning an open house to show the new equipment running.

Orders taken for two Matrix 530 laminators

Binding Store have taken two orders for the new Matrix 530 laminator. The laminator is proving very popular with Digital printers and short/medium run litho printers.
The small footprint of the machine, coupled with the ability to run at speeds of 7-10 mitres a min is proving very popular. Ease of set up is another plus point for the Matrix MX-530

New Matrix 530 laminator a real hit

The Matrix 530 brings you affordable automated single sided lamination at up to 10 mitres per minute. This new machine has really re written the rule book and will allow you to keep in house jobs that you would normally send out to trade laminating houses. Full control can be kept on deadlines and increased turnaround times are achievable.
The Matrix 530 has a semi automatic feeder and will separate the sheet to the designated overlap. Sheets are then automatically laminated then separated. The laminated sheets are finally fed into a delivery tray. The whole system is very user friendly and is sure to be a big hit in 2009.

Jump on the band wagon!

Time to jump onto the latest trend in print collateral management, no this is not a war but print presentation is very competitive. On a level playing field, when say price and quality of a customer’s stationery is comparable, how do you win more and secure your existing business? We need to take up our customer’s position and go the extra mile in helping them manage their print needs. Consider banding the usual box of 1000 letterheads in 100’s. This will save waste when salesmen raid the stationery cupboard and either takes a whole box or a handful that will be ruined sliding around in the boot of a car. Supplying decanted print batches will look more professional and save plastic in packaging. As importantly these wrappers will save the normal elastic band damage to digital print, especially those batches of a few hundred A6 colour flyers. CSN must thank the MD of Busch Graphic Machinery, Ian Jones for demonstrating the bander in Brighton. We see a lot of new bands down here but never as neat and productive as this one as requested by Russell at http://www.bindingstore.co.uk/ Try decanting a box of envelopes to prove how much you can sell small banded batches for? Loads of profit here and a real add on service of value to your customers. To stand out from the crowd when delivery print to the point of need and band those posters without strangling your goods, contact Russell 0n 01727 845848

Our recent press release in copy shop news.

Horizon PF-P330BIG HIT IN BRIGHTON Our thanks to russell of page 3 fame and owner of Binding Store for extending a loan of a very useful piece of finishing kit. The Horizon PF-P330 is a revolution in paper folding.Offline finishing saves down time on your print kit and with ease of use and speed of production, your operator a few quiet minutes watching someone else work.Up to 240 sheets a minute is no sweat and customers will love the non cracked fold presentation on, yes toner printed images.Historically, conventional folders have relied on friction feeding but with so many digitally printed colour pages produced these days it has been difficult to friction feed because of the shiny nature of the finish. The PF-P330 uses air suction feeding-air is blown into the stack to float the sheet, the air rotor then picks up the top sheet then rotates to advance the sheet into the folding area.This is all best experienced with a demonstration on a real customers job.You should meet the very helpful and experienced Russell who has worked in our end of the industry for more years than he wants to own up to.Also check out this very informative web link , if you are reading this live or type in next time you are on line. http://www.bindingstore.co.uk/products/Print-finishing-machines/77 During are time testing this kit we even took in jobs just for finishing which proved very lucrative.A growing number of are customers do try to produce in-house but need our industry to shape the finished document, clearly an opportunity for us all.

Abbey install complete wire binding range

Abbey Bookbinding, based in Cardiff (UK) have just installed a complete range of wire binding equipment from Binding Store.
The Renz systems purchased from Binding store include an AP 360 automatic punch, 2 RSB 360 semi automatic binding machines and a DTP-340A semi automatic desk top punch to add to their portfolio of binding equipment and services.
Darren Cottrell, Production Manager commented ‘ We are very pleased with such a prompt efficient professional service from Binding Store. The speed of delivery and quality of binding equipment was second to none. Adding these machines to our site opens up additional trade services to the print and design industry. Besides case binding and perfect binding, we can now offer a complete trade wire bind service specialising in the production of short/medium size production runs. Quantities can now range from 1 – 50k.
The changeover time is very quick, even when changing the pitch from 2:1 to 3:1 it’s a matter of just a few minutes and the next job is running. This is one big advantage that the Renz AP-360 has over the competition. We chose the option of the paternoster feeder, allowing continuous paper feeding and pre loading of stock.
The Renz RSB-360 semi automatic bookbinding machine compliments the automatic punch with the ability to insert the wire from a spool at speeds of up to 1300 books per hour. This gives us the ability to turn around jobs very quickly.
Both models offer the highest level of wire binding with a comparatively small footprint but without the higher level of investment required for a large in-line model.
A semi automatic Renz DTP-340A punch was also bought for its versatility and rapid die change ability, Ideal for shorter run lengths or stocks that can not be automatically processed.
Binding Store, which has been trading for 5 years, offers equipment for wire binding, laminating, shredding and print finishing and Cunningham added that the company is equally at home with supplying small manual machines for use in the office environment up to large bindery systems that require high levels of automation.

Print week article- Binding store supply folio bookbinders with proffesional wire binding machines

Finishing specialist Folio has invested £ 90,000 and brought in six new staff in its bid to corner the wiro-binding market.
The Bristol-based company has installed a Renz P500, ECL500 and Autobind 500 supplied by Bindingstore Ltd, in addition to a collection of secondhand equipment that was bought in August.According to Folio managing director Andy Bird, the company decided to add wiro-binding to its array of finishing services when a local finishing company, Cotswold Print Finishers (CPF), closed in July.Folio brought in CPF''s managing director Alan Churchill, bought some of the company''s equipment, and added to its machinery portfolio with the Renz investment.Bird said: "We would not have dreamed of investing in wiro-binding while Cotswold was still going, because then it would not be a niche service. But we have talked about moving into that area and with them closing it seemed like the right time."We now have an extensive finishing service it is easier to say what we don''t do than what we can do."The £ 3m-turnover company has also added five new staff, taking its total number of employees to more than 70. Several of the new staff were brought over from CPF, which Bird believes will help Folio maintain a high-quality service.He added: "We want to be a ''jack of all trades'', but we need to have the knowledge and skill in each of those areas. We brought in Alan because he understands the market and has that skill set."Binding store Ltd supplied, installed and trained staff on all of the Renz wire binding equipment
