Now’s the Time to Get Back to Baseline

It is reasonable to assume that some older/newer bindery equipment are not performing at baseline speeds, which provides a negative impact on production. Over the last couple of years, many printers and binderies have put off maintenance on their equipment due to a very unfortunate circumstance the world has provided…

“Virtual” Experiences

While there has been no sign of “physical” on-site trade shows for months, the event industry is trying to insist on the benefits of online presentations.   The corona pandemic that has prevailed since the spring of 2020 has reduced face-to-face human encounters for a very long time, and in…

Two of the best investments you can make. Equipment Inspections and Operator training.

Paper Market Out of Control

Already last year, a confusing situation arose that caused the prices for paper, cardboard and corrugated board to go through the roof. There is still no relief in sight. I set out to find out how this turbulence on the paper market came about.   From all the people who…

Imagine the following: Printed products – they may be different or they may all be the same – run along a conveyor track. There is no barcode or other identification printed on them that could be scanned to tell us which product it is. So how can I track and…
