MBO America is proud to announce the release of a new case study showcasing the impressive growth and operational efficiency achieved by Wallace Graphics through the use of MBO Roll-Fed Finishing Systems. Founded in 1987, Wallace Graphics has evolved from a humble print broker operating out of a den to a second-generation printing powerhouse with 130,000 square feet across three facilities. Their success story is a testament to innovation, adaptability, and strategic investment in cutting-edge technology.

Scaling with MBO Roll-Fed Finishing Systems

To meet the increasing demand for high-speed, high-quality print finishing, Wallace Graphics turned to MBO America’s advanced Roll-Fed Finishing Systems. After acquiring a new inkjet press in January 2024, the team quickly realized the need for a second MBO finishing line to keep up with production volume. Today, Wallace Graphics operates two MBO finishing lines 24 hours a day, six days a week, demonstrating the reliability and efficiency of MBO equipment.

Why Wallace Graphics Chose MBO

According to Jake Wallace, Vice President of Sales at Wallace Graphics, the decision to partner with MBO was driven by the quality of the build and modular design of MBO equipment. “The MBO machines are built to run 24/7, which matches the workload we have. Their modularity allows us to easily add or swap components, enhancing versatility and productivity,” he stated.

The modularity of the MBO systems enables Wallace Graphics to seamlessly switch between different folding units, scoring, perfing, cutting, fugitive glue application, and Dynamic SC in perf, allowing them to create a variety of products with ease. This flexibility has been instrumental in supporting the company’s growth and ability to adapt to evolving customer needs.

Driving Efficiency with Automation and Roll-to-Roll Production

One of the most significant benefits Wallace Graphics has experienced is the reduction of production touches, resulting in faster turnaround times. By leveraging MBO’s automation and roll-to-roll technology, the company can now take on large-scale projects with unprecedented speed.

“Thanks to MBO’s automation, we can take a file with a million postcards and have it on press in 30 minutes, out the door in just a day or two,” Josh Gormley, Director of Operations shared. “This speed and efficiency allow us to respond quickly to market demands and better serve our customers.”

Versatility and Productivity at Its Best

The versatility of MBO’s Roll-Fed Finishing Systems has exceeded expectations. The equipment handles a wide range of materials, from 27 lb bond to 120 lb postcards, all on the same machine. This adaptability enables Wallace Graphics to manage diverse projects efficiently without compromising on quality or speed.

A Legacy of Growth and Innovation

From its beginnings as a print broker operating off a pool table to a dynamic second-generation company offering a full range of services—commercial print, mailing, wide format, installation, and promotional apparel—Wallace Graphics continues to grow by embracing new technologies and industry trends.
