Welcome to the PrintPack Sunday Column. The PrintWeek crew has been keeping tabs on all the installation news in the first 48 hours of the five day show. One thing is clear, nothing can stop the march of print and packaging technology.
The Impel-Welbound stall at PrintPack is busy. The star attraction is the BindLine which is its inline configuration kit for gathering-binding-trimming. Some of the names of customers who have finalised the BindLine kit are: Coact Printers in Mumbai (book print exporter to Africa); CDC in Kolkata; Ikon printers in Nairobi. Meanwhile DP Printing in Okhla has opted for a hard-cover line.
Impel Services (A Welbound group company), the post-press manufacturer will showcase three types of binders which can produce 2000 books per hour to 5000 bph, each offering upgradability to a bindingline (by adding a gatherer before or a trimmer later) during the five-day PrintPack show.
