Booklets and Labels
Booklets are a challenge using equipment not specifically made for the challenges of thick, high page count products that usually have tabs to get in the way. Our systems are made to meet the goals of each customer taking into consideration the maximum number of pages, page jump acceptance, glue patterns, press print sizes, minimum fold lengths, edge trims, gutter trims and delivery requirements. These systems draw on many of H+H’s specialty components to make sure that glue lines are placed straight, folds match to the perf patterns, tabs are preserved, and trims are kept square. At the same time the systems are amazingly flexible and scalable. Our current focus is on makeready reduction and productivity enhancement. The new features within each module are designed to get jobs on and off the machine quicker and maximize the machine uptime. Booklets up to 80 pages are possible, with or without tabs and in multiple up layouts.
